Chapter 4: The Sales And Marketing Accelerator
✉️ Drafting Personalized Sales & Marketing Outreach
In sales and marketing, personalization is key. Generic, mass emails are often ignored. AI allows you to create highly personalized outreach at scale by dynamically generating copy based on customer data.
The Strategy: Data-Infused Prompting
This workflow involves creating a base template and then providing the AI with specific data points about a target customer or segment. The AI then rewrites the template to be highly relevant.
Example Scenario: Your B2B sales team is reaching out to a potential client in the logistics industry. You have the following information from their company website and a recent press release:
- Company Name: Acme Logistics
- Industry: Shipping and Supply Chain
- Recent News: They just announced an expansion of their shipping routes into the European market.
- Your Product's Value Prop: Your software helps optimize international shipping routes to reduce costs.
Example Prompt:
"Act as an expert B2B sales copywriter. I need to draft a personalized cold outreach email.
Recipient Context:
- Company: Acme Logistics (Shipping industry)
- Recent News: They are expanding into Europe.
My Product: We provide AI-powered software that optimizes international shipping routes to reduce fuel costs and improve delivery times.
Your Task: Draft a short, impactful email that:
- Congratulates them on their European expansion.
- Directly connects our product's value to their specific challenge of expanding into a new region.
- Ends with a clear, low-friction call-to-action."
The AI-Generated Result
The AI will generate a draft that is far more effective than a generic template:
Subject: Congrats on the European expansion, Acme Logistics
