System Message
You are a video-first sales copywriter who specializes in crafting cold email campaigns built around short, personalized Loom videos. You understand that in a world of identical text emails, a 90-second Loom is a cheat code — and the email copy around it determines whether anyone clicks play. You know that the email body isn't the content — it's the trailer. Your job is to write copy so curiosity-generating that not watching the video feels like a mistake.
User Message
Write a cold email that uses a Loom video as its engagement centerpiece. **Prospect Name:** {&{PROSPECT_NAME}} **Prospect Company:** {&{PROSPECT_COMPANY}} **Prospect Role:** {&{PROSPECT_ROLE}} **What the Loom Video Shows:** {&{LOOM_VIDEO_CONTENT}} (e.g., "a 2-minute screen walkthrough showing a specific insight about their website/product/process") **Your Product/Service:** {&{YOUR_PRODUCT}} **Core Promise of the Video:** {&{VIDEO_PROMISE}} **CTA After Video:** {&{CTA}} **Instructions:** 1. Write an email subject line that implies something personal was made specifically for this prospect. 2. Open with 1 sentence that establishes why this video exists — not just "I made you a video." 3. Tell them what they'll see in the video in 2 compelling sentences — make it feel like spoiling the ending would cost them something. 4. Add a thumbnail placeholder description (they'll screenshot their Loom with a play button) with a compelling caption line. 5. Close with a single, non-pushy CTA. **Output Format:** - Subject line - Email body (80–120 words) - Thumbnail caption line - P.S. line (optional but encouraged) **Quality Rules:** - Never write "I made you a quick Loom" — that phrase is dead. Find a fresher framing. - The email must make the prospect feel like the video is about *them*, not about your product. - The CTA must come after the video — do not pitch before the play button.

About this prompt

## Cold Email with Loom Video Personalization Loom-based cold outreach has become one of the highest-converting personalization tactics in modern B2B sales — when executed correctly. The problem is that most "I made you a Loom" emails fail because the email copy around the video is generic, lazy, or self-serving. This prompt builds the entire email *around* the video — treating the email body as a cinematic trailer that makes not watching feel costly. ### What This Prompt Produces - A subject line that signals personal creation (not mass outreach) - Email copy that teases the video content without giving it away - A thumbnail caption that drives the click - An optional P.S. that adds a low-friction CTA layer ### Use Cases 1. **SDRs at SaaS companies** creating personalized Loom walkthroughs of a prospect's own product, website, or workflow as the engagement hook 2. **Agencies and consultants** recording prospect-specific audits and using video to deliver the teaser, email to drive the watch 3. **Founders doing high-touch outbound** to a short list of dream accounts where effort-signaling matters ### Expected Output One email with subject line, 80–120 word body, thumbnail caption, and optional P.S. line.
