Hi Sarah,
I noticed DataTech grew its email list by 40% last quarter using co-marketing — impressive work. I'm reaching out because I think there's a natural fit between DataTech's audience and ToolsNova's AI tool users.
I'd love to explore a joint webinar or email swap that could add 2,000–3,000 relevant subscribers to both of our lists. I've attached a one-pager with the specifics.
Would you have 15 minutes this week or next for a quick call?
Best,
[Name]

💡 Pro Tips
Best model for this prompt
Claude
Claude (Opus 4 / Sonnet 4)
Send emails on Tuesday–Thursday between 9–11am for highest open rates
Keep your subject line under 50 characters — most mobile clients cut off longer lines
One email, one ask — multiple asks reduce your response rate significantly
Follow up exactly once, 3–5 days later, if you don't hear back
Using 'Just following up' as a subject line — it signals low value
Starting with 'My name is...' — they can see your name in the sender field
Explaining too much before the ask — get to the point in sentence 1 or 2
Sending to the wrong person — always verify the recipient is the decision-maker
- Can I use this with Gemini?Yes. Gemini 2.0 Flash produces clean, professional email copy. For very formal correspondence, Claude tends to produce slightly more polished output.
- How do I adjust the tone?Replace [tone] with: 'formal and professional', 'warm and friendly', 'direct and concise', 'persuasive', or 'apologetic'. The model will adjust the language accordingly.
- What if I need a longer email?For complex proposals or context-heavy emails, increase the word limit in the prompt. However, for most business emails, brevity increases response rates.
- Is this suitable for cold emails?This template works for warm emails. For cold email outreach, use the dedicated Cold Email Outreach prompt which includes personalisation hooks and follow-up sequences.
