How to use it

  1. Step 1: Answer five questions from your own research: who, what changed, the problem, your proof and your ask.
  2. Step 2: Read the three drafts, pick one and say it in your own voice. Trim the subject to two to five words.
  3. Step 3: If you want wording help, copy the prompt at the bottom into your own AI assistant with your sources.

Five answers from your research

Template based: the drafts are assembled from your answers, in your browser. No AI writes them and nothing you type is sent anywhere. These are example answers about an invented company. Replace them with your own.

Their role, as their company would say it.
A dated fact you found: an announcement, a hire, a filing. This is the first line.
Phrase it so it ends a sentence like: that puts ... on your desk.
Something you can stand behind if asked. No numbers you cannot source.
Small and specific. A fork, a check or a pointer beats a request for 30 minutes.

Three drafts

Same research, three angles. Pick one, say it in your own voice and trim the subject to two to five words about them.

Draft 1: the question

Their fact, your reading of it, one question.

Subject: Northfield announced a second distribution

Hi [First name],

Northfield announced a second distribution centre in March. I imagine that puts planning stock across more than one site by hand on your desk.

We help companies with exactly that.

Will one team plan both sites, or one each?

[Your name]

44 words. Keep it under 90.

Draft 2: the pointer

Easiest to answer. A name counts as a reply.

Subject: Northfield announced a second distribution

Hi [First name],

Northfield announced a second distribution centre in March.

We help companies with planning stock across more than one site by hand.

Will one team plan both sites, or one each? If this sits with someone else, a name is all I need.

[Your name]

47 words. Keep it under 90.

Draft 3: the proof

One true example, then the question.

Subject: Northfield announced a second distribution

Hi [First name],

Northfield announced a second distribution centre in March. We helped another two site warehouse operator run both sites on one planning process.

If planning stock across more than one site by hand looks similar from where you sit: Will one team plan both sites, or one each?

Happy to be told I have read it wrong.

[Your name]

61 words. Keep it under 90.

Prefer your own AI assistant?

This prompt carries your answers and the rules from the cold email lesson. Paste it with your sources so the assistant reads instead of guessing.

I am writing a first email to the VP Supply Chain at [company]. Below my notes I will paste sources: their news page, report pages or posts. Use only those sources and my notes. Do not invent facts, names or numbers.

My notes:
- What changed at their company: Northfield announced a second distribution centre in March
- The problem I think it creates: planning stock across more than one site by hand
- My proof point, which is true and mine: we helped another two site warehouse operator run both sites on one planning process
- The one question I want answered: Will one team plan both sites, or one each?

Write three versions of a four sentence email: their fact first, my reading of it as a possibility, one plain line on what we do, then the question. Under 90 words each. Subject of two to five words about them. No adjectives about us, no greetings like I hope you are well and no meeting request. If a fact is not in the sources or my notes, leave it out.

Why template-based beats generated

This tool is template-based on purpose. It assembles your answers into the four-sentence shape that gets answered: their fact first, your reading of it, one plain line on what you do, one small question. No model call, no API, nothing invented. If a draft reads thin, the research is thin, and no generator fixes that.

A senior buyer reads the first line asking one thing: is this about me, or was it sent to everyone? An email that opens with a dated fact about their company passes that test. An email that opens with your name, your company and your adjectives does not, however fluently it was generated.

If you do want an assistant's help with wording, use the prompt at the bottom. It carries your answers and the same rules, and it tells the assistant to work only from sources you paste, so nothing reaches a buyer that you cannot stand behind.

Why this works on named accounts

A generator that writes a thousand emails solves the wrong problem: nobody is short of email, least of all the buyers you want. The four sentences this tool assembles cannot be filled in from a database export. They need a dated fact about one company, a problem you understand and a question only that reader can answer, which means they need a named list short enough to research. The writing was never the hard part. The knowing is.

Common questions

Is this an AI cold email generator?

No. It is template-based: your answers are placed into the four-sentence structure in your browser, with no model call and no API. The prompt at the bottom is for your own assistant if you want one involved.

What makes a cold email get answered?

A dated fact about the reader's company in the first line, one plain line on what you do and a question small enough to answer in ten seconds. Everything that describes you in adjectives lowers the odds.

How long should a cold email be?

Under 90 words. The drafts show a live word count, and if yours runs over, cut the second question, the adjectives and anything after your name.

Why does it ask for a trigger event?

Because the trigger is the reason to write now. Without one the email could have been sent any week to anyone, and senior buyers can tell. If you cannot name a change at the company, the account is not ready for this email.

Is anything I type saved or sent?

Your answers stay in this browser. Intandemly receives nothing unless you choose to email yourself the drafts.
