Objective: Use Gemini to craft highly personalized and effective prospecting emails by tapping into its ability to process up-to-date information and address the specific needs of your ideal customer profile (ICP).
Step 1: Identify Your Prospect or ICP
Define your ideal customer as clearly as possible. Provide Gemini with:

Example prompt:
“I am writing a prospecting email targeted at Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) at enterprise software companies with over $50 million in annual revenue. Does Gemini have insights for this type of prospect?”
Step 2: Prompt Gemini to Pinpoint a Timely Challenge
Gemini’s power lies in accessing the most recent information. Use this to your advantage:
- Ask about current trends: “What are the top 3 challenges facing CMOs in the enterprise software industry right now?”
- Tie to news/events: “Has [recent industry event or news story] impacted CMOs in the enterprise software space? If so, how?”
Step 3: Prompt Gemini for Solution, Outcome, and Email Draft
Outline your solution and how it overcomes the challenge identified. Draw inspiration from:
- Case studies: “We helped [similar company] achieve [quantifiable outcome] by [how your product/service works].”
- Website benefits: Repurpose compelling benefit statements.
Example prompt:
“Consider the challenge of [specific challenge identified by Gemini]. My company addresses this by providing [benefit 1] and [benefit 2].
Please draft an email using this template:
Hi [Prospect’s Name],

ChatGPT
Instructions for Crafting a Prospecting Email Using ChatGPT
Objective: Leverage ChatGPT to create targeted prospecting emails that address the specific challenges of your ideal customer profile (ICP).
Step 1: Identify Your Prospect or ICP
Start by defining your ideal customer. Consider factors like their industry, size of the company, and the role of your contact person. The clearer you are about your ICP, the more tailored and effective your message can be.
Example prompt:
“I am writing an introductory prospecting email to mid-market Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) in the media and entertainment industry. Do you understand?”
Step 2: Prompt ChatGPT to Identify a Specific Challenge
Ask ChatGPT to identify a particular challenge that your ICP typically encounters.
Example prompt:
“What are some common challenges that these people face as a part of performing their jobs?”
Step 3: Prompt ChatGPT for a Solution and Outcome and write the email
Describe how your solution successfully overcomes one of these challenges. Get examples from your case studies or copy benefits mentioned on your website.
Example prompt:
“Great. I would like to write an introductory email about [specific challenge]. My company specifically addresses [specific challenge] by providing [benefit 1] and [benefit 2].
Write an email using this email template:
Hi [Prospect’s Name],
[Specific pain point they face] is a common challenge for [people with their responsibility].
This often causes [agitation] and leads to [inefficiencies or degraded business value].
[Describe how benefit 1 addresses challenge 1 and the agitation].

What questions could I help answer about [Specific pain point they face]?
Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Contact Information]”
Step 4: Edit the email output
Most times the email outputs need editing. Remove jargon and any extra words. Consider using contractions and short sentences to make the email more personal and conversational.
Here is how I edited the output example.
ChatGPT output:
Hi [Prospect’s Name],

Messaging and Practical Tips
- Use short choppy sentences. These are easier to comprehend for people that are being interrupted.
- Don’t ask for 15 minutes. No one wants this.
- Focus on one pain point at a time. This enables you more material over time rather than saying everything at once then “bumping” your message. <Cringe!
- Offer to email back and forth. I find this more valuable since it requires thinking other than “virtual coffee.”
- Send helpful data. Don’t send links to datashits. Instead copy and paste the value points so they can be read on a mobile device.
- Final Note:
- Remember to tailor the email further based on additional insights you have about the prospect to enhance personalization and relevance. The more context you provide to ChatGPT, the better. Many prompts lack contextual instructions and produce bland results. Be specific.
