Cold Outreach Email
What It Does
This Agent generates short, clear outreach emails designed to introduce your offer, establish relevance, and motivate a reply. It balances brevity with personalization, adapting tone, length, and CTA to fit your goal. Unlike rigid templates, it adjusts dynamically — whether you’re pitching a product, proposing a partnership, or inviting someone to an event.
When to Use It
Perfect for:
- Prospecting new leads at scale
- Introducing your product or service to decision-makers
- Suggesting partnerships or collaborations
- Event invitations and demo requests
- Asking for early feedback on a beta or idea
When Not to Use It
Avoid this Agent when:
- You need a sales-heavy close (use the Sales Letter Email Agent)
- You’re nurturing an existing lead (use the Follow-Up Reminder Email Agent)
- You’re onboarding a new customer (use the Welcome Email Agent)

Brand Voice & Tone
- Priority order: Brand Voice > Desired Tone > Defaults
- Defaults to friendly professional — clear, confident, and approachable
- Brand Voice ensures consistency (e.g., bold, witty, faith-based)
- Brand Guidelines can override personalization, greetings, or phrasing
Using Custom Brand Guidelines
Cold outreach is often the first impression — Brand Guidelines keep it polished:
- “Always use formal greetings”
- “Limit email to 100 words”
- “No puns or playful phrasing”
- “Include company name in signature”
When set, guidelines overrule personalization or voice toggles to stay aligned with company standards.
Output Format
- Subject Line → benefit or curiosity-driven, ≤12 words
- Preview Line → short expansion, 15–30 words
- Email Body → concise pitch with one CTA
- Signature → appended only if Person fields are provided
Length: 60–200 words depending on preference
Formats available: Plain Text, HTML, JSON
Pre-Configured Defaults
- Model: GPT-4.1
- Tone: Friendly professional
- Length: Standard (100–150 words)
- Personalization: Enabled by default
- Output format: Plain Text
Safety & Fallbacks
- If Offer Description missing → generates safe placeholder: “a tool that helps teams collaborate more efficiently”
- If CTA missing → defaults to “Let me know if this sounds interesting”
- If personalization low-quality → omit it
- If Brand Guidelines conflict with Brand Voice → prioritize Brand Voice
Tips & Tricks
- Use one personalization detail only — don’t overload
- Keep CTA light (“open to a quick chat?” works better than “schedule now”)
- Shorter emails work best for initial contact
- Save Long mode for complex partnerships or investments
Example Use Case
Input:
- Offer: “Beta analytics dashboard for SaaS founders”
- Audience: “Startup founders”
- Outreach Goal: “Get feedback on beta”
- Personalization: “Saw your TechCrunch feature last week”
- CTA: “Share your thoughts”
- Brand Voice: “Witty Commentator”
Output:
A 120-word outreach email that references the TechCrunch article, invites feedback on the beta, and ends with CTA: “Mind sharing your thoughts?”
FAQs
Q: Can I include multiple CTAs?
A: No — one clear CTA keeps focus.
Q: Can it insert names automatically?
A: Yes, if Personalization Enabled is true and Person Name provided.
Q: Can I disable the signature?
A: Yes — omit all Person fields and it won’t generate one.
