PROMPT

Create a skill called "Outreach Sequence Writer". Inputs: - Role + persona - Channel: InMail or email - Number of touches: 4–7 - Pay range: [optional] - Differentiators: team, mission, impact, flexibility, growth Output: - A sequence with: 1) Touch timing (day 0, day 3, day 7, etc.) 2) Message copy for each touch (max 120 words) 3) A "breakup" message that is polite and leaves the door open 4) A version for referrals ("If not you, who?") Optimize for clarity and respect.

How It Works

Define the role, persona, and channel. The skill writes a full sequence

from first touch to breakup message, including a referral variant.

What You Get

  • A timed sequence (4–7 touches with day spacing)
  • Message copy for each touch (max 120 words each)
  • A polite breakup message that leaves the door open
  • A referral variant ("If not you, who?")

Setup Steps

  1. Define the role and target persona
  2. Choose InMail or email
  3. Set the number of touches (4–7)
  4. Add differentiators (mission, team, flexibility, growth)
  5. Load the sequence into your outreach tool

Tips

  • Each touch should add new value, not just re-ask
  • The breakup message often gets the highest reply rate
  • Test two versions of touch #1 and measure response
  • Sequences work best when combined with the Outreach Personalizer for touch #1
