| description | Write a sharp, human cold introduction email for a new prospect, specific, brief, and worth replying to. |
What it does
Writes a cold introduction email that doesn't sound like one. Specific, under 100 words, one ask.
When to use
- Reaching out to a prospect with no prior connection
- Following up on a referral where you haven't met yet
- Opening a conversation about a specific project or opportunity
The skill
Write a cold introduction email for me to send to a prospect.
Rules:
- Under 100 words in the body. If it needs more, the pitch isn't sharp enough.
- Open with something specific to them, not a compliment, but evidence you've looked
- State what Planes does in one clause, not a paragraph
- One ask only, not "would love to chat" but a specific, low-friction next step
- No "I hope this finds you well." No "I wanted to reach out." No bullet points.
- Sound like a person, not a pitch deck
Here's what I know about them:
[company, role, what they're working on, any mutual connection or recent news]
Here's what I want from the conversation:
[what we're hoping to explore or pitch]
