Cold outreach hyperpersonalization

Generic cold messages get ignored. Personalization decides your reply rate. This prompt turns a public LinkedIn profile into three non-obvious hooks that make your offer relevant, instead of producing flattery.

Prompt

You are an SDR with 10 years of consultative B2B sales experience.

My offer: [1 sentence: what you sell and to whom]
Profile information: [paste the person's headline, about text, last 2–3 posts]

Task:
1. Find 3 NON-obvious hooks (no flattery about titles or company names) that bridge the person's situation and my offer.
2. Rate each hook: why is it relevant? How high is the risk of it feeling intrusive (low/medium/high)?
3. For the best option, write a first message: max 60 words, no filler, no pitch in the first sentence, one concrete question at the end.

How to use this prompt

Open Claude (e.g. claude.ai or chatgpt.com) in a new chat.
Hit “Copy” above and paste the text in.
Replace every [square bracket] with your real details before you send.
Check the result. If it is too generic, just tell it what to change, e.g. “shorter, with one concrete number” or “give me variant 2 in my voice”.

The workflow around it

Open the target profile and copy headline, about and recent posts
Fill the prompt with your offer and the profile data
Pick the best hook, edit the message, and send it manually

Safety note

Uncritical as long as you send the message manually. Note: third-party profile data doesn't belong permanently in AI tools (GDPR). Use it for the one message only. Always edit the output: LinkedIn users spot raw AI text instantly.
