Write a Cold Email Campaign with AI

Go from a rough idea of who to target to a personalized cold email and tested subject lines — one paste at a time. No copywriting experience needed.

ICP Definer Cold Email Subject Test
Start with step 1

Why this workflow

Most cold emails fail before they're read: the wrong person, a vague pitch, a subject line that screams "delete me." This workflow fixes all three in order. You define exactly who you're talking to, write an email built around their problem, then pressure-test the subject line — so what lands in the inbox is sharp instead of generic.

What you'll walk away with
A one-line profile of exactly who you're targeting
A personalized, jargon-free cold email
Several tested subject lines with a clear winner
STEP 1

Define who you're targeting

Skill ICP Definer

Before you write a word, get specific about who should receive this. Vague targeting is the #1 reason cold emails get ignored.

ICP Definer 774 characters
Before defining the ICP, ask me these questions one at a time. Wait for my answer before moving to the next.

1. What is your product or service?
2. What is the core problem it solves?
3. Who are your best current customers — describe the people or businesses that get the most value? (If none yet, say so.)

Once I've answered all three, give me 2–3 ideal customer segments ranked by likelihood to convert. For each segment include:
- Job title and company type
- Company size (headcount or revenue range)
- The specific pain that makes them ready to buy
- The buying trigger — the event that makes them ready to act now
- Where they spend time online
- What would disqualify them as a customer

Be specific — no vague terms like "decision maker" or "growth-stage company."

A crisp target profile you'll paste into the next step.

STEP 2

Write the cold email

Now turn that profile into a short, human email built around their problem — not your product.

Before writing the email, ask me these questions one at a time. Wait for my answer before moving to the next.

1. What is your product or service? (one or two sentences)
2. Who are you emailing? (job title and type of company)
3. What is their main pain point — the problem you solve for them?
4. What do you want them to do? (e.g. reply, book a 15-minute call, watch a demo)

Once I've answered all four, write a cold email with:
- Subject line: 6 words or fewer, no clickbait
- Body: 3 short paragraphs maximum
- Lead with their problem, not your product
- One clear call to action
- Friendly, peer-to-peer tone — not salesy
- Total under 150 words

A ready-to-send draft you can personalize per prospect.

STEP 3

Test the subject line

A great email no one opens is wasted. Generate and grade subject lines before you hit send.

Subject Line Tester 663 characters
Ask me these questions one at a time. Wait for my answer before moving to the next.

1. What is your current subject line? (or share a draft)
2. What is the email about? (one sentence)
3. Who is receiving it? (e.g. cold prospect, existing client, newsletter subscriber)

Once I've answered all three:
- First, rate my current subject line out of 10 and explain in one line why it scores that.
- Then suggest 3–5 alternative subject lines. For each: write the subject line (under 50 characters), explain in one sentence why it would perform better, and score it out of 10.
- Finally, pick the single best option and explain your choice.

No clickbait, no ALL CAPS.

Subject lines, graded — pick the winner and you're done.
