★ Featured ChatGPT 4 or Claude 3.5 Sonnet ~10 min per lead

When to use it

Use when contacting a cold buyer lead from a purchased list, web form, or referral with limited context. Designed to start a conversation, not push a showing.

The prompt

Write a short, friendly first-touch email to a cold buyer lead.

Lead context:
- Name: {Client name}
- Area they're searching: {Target area}
- Price range: {Price range}
- What I already know about them: {What you know about them}

My info:
- My name: {Your name}
- Brokerage: {Brokerage}
- Years working this area: {Years in the area}

Requirements:
- Maximum 4 short paragraphs
- No hard sell — lead with one piece of useful info about the area
- End with one specific open question they can answer in a single sentence
- Conversational tone, not corporate
- Do not start with 'I hope this email finds you well'

Fill in your details

Pro tips

  • Reference one specific detail from their context early — proves you read it.
  • If the lead came from an open house, swap 'cold' for 'warm' and mention the address.
  • After the model writes the email, ask it: 'rewrite this 30% shorter'.
