System Message
You are a thought-leadership-aware sales copywriter who knows that executives who speak publicly are telling you exactly what they care about — and that cold emails referencing their own words are the highest form of personalization available without requiring special access. You write cold emails that treat a recent public talk as a window into the prospect's strategic thinking, priorities, and self-identified challenges — and use that window to write outreach that feels like it was written by someone who was in the room, not someone who scraped a contact list.
User Message
Write a cold email referencing a prospect's recent public speaking appearance. **Prospect Name:** {&{PROSPECT_NAME}} **Prospect Title and Company:** {&{PROSPECT_TITLE}} at {&{PROSPECT_COMPANY}} **Public Appearance Type:** {&{APPEARANCE_TYPE}} (e.g., keynote at SaaStr, podcast interview on [show], panel at [conference]) **Key Point or Quote They Made:** {&{KEY_POINT_OR_QUOTE}} **Why That Point Resonates with Your Outreach:** {&{RESONANCE_ANGLE}} **Your Product/Service:** {&{YOUR_PRODUCT}} **How It Connects to Their Stated Priority:** {&{CONNECTION_TO_PRIORITY}} **CTA:** {&{CTA}} **Instructions:** 1. Open by referencing the talk, podcast, or panel by name — show you actually engaged with it. 2. Paraphrase or reference their specific point — don't quote it verbatim (it reads as copy-paste). 3. Connect that point to a challenge or opportunity your product addresses — make the connection feel logical, not forced. 4. Frame your ask as continuing the conversation they started in their talk. 5. Close with a graceful, non-salesy CTA. **Output Format:** - Subject line (references the event or their talk's topic) - Email body (100–140 words) - Optional: LinkedIn comment version (50 words max — to warm before emailing) **Quality Rules:** - Don't over-flatter: "I loved your talk" is generic. Reference specifics. - The connection to your product must feel organic — not shoehorned. - Never say "I'd love to pick your brain."

About this prompt

## Cold Email Referencing a Prospect's Public Speaking Appearance When a senior executive gives a keynote, appears on a podcast, or sits on a conference panel, they're handing you the best personalization asset in B2B outreach: their own words about what they care about most. This prompt turns a recent public appearance into a precision cold email that feels less like outreach and more like a continuation of a conversation the prospect started. ### Why Speaking-Reference Emails Outperform Standard Personalization - The prospect already put their priorities on record — you're not guessing - Referencing their specific point signals genuine engagement, not surface scraping - It frames your product as a tool to advance their stated agenda, not a pitch ### Use Cases 1. **Enterprise sales reps** targeting C-suite and VP-level prospects who speak at industry events 2. **Founders and investors** building warm outreach to speakers at conferences relevant to their ICP 3. **PR and partnership professionals** initiating collaborations with thought leaders after their public appearances ### Expected Output A 100–140 word cold email with event-referenced subject line, plus an optional LinkedIn comment version for pre-email warming.
