The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Write replies to common responses to cold outreach. My offer: [OFFER]. The prospect's typical role and context: [PROSPECT_CONTEXT]. Proof I can state truthfully: [PROOF]. Tone: [TONE].
Return a table: Reply received | What it usually means | Response (30 to 70 words) | Goal | Next step | What not to say.
Cover: "Not interested"; "Not now, try next quarter"; "Send me more information"; "We already work with someone"; "How much does it cost?"; "Who gave you my email?"; "Remove me from your list"; "We have no budget"; "Talk to my colleague"; "Interesting, but I'm too busy"; "We tried something like this and it failed"; "Can you send a case study?"
Rules: respect clear refusals immediately and confirm removal; ask a useful question where there is a real opening; never argue; never pressure; be honest about price and fit; and ask permission before contacting someone's colleague by name given in a reply. Include scripts for timing follow-ups ("I'll check back in January; reply any time to stop me"). Add a decision tree: IF a clear no THEN thank and stop; IF a time-based no THEN set a reminder and confirm permission; IF a question THEN answer briefly and propose a call; IF a referral THEN thank and ask how they prefer to be mentioned. Add a log template to record outcomes.
