Vertical-Specific Cold Email Prompts for SDRs

18 industry-specific cold email prompts for SDRs to write 20-30 daily emails with higher conversion rates.

This prompt pack is built for early-stage SDRs and account executives at SaaS startups who manually write 20-30 cold emails daily and need faster, higher-conversion-rate templates for their specific vertical. Generic cold email templates flood the market; vertical-specific prompts with built-in objection handling and industry language are rare. Three variants deliver 18 prompts across initial outreach, objection-handling sequences (price, need, vendor reliability, timing), multi-touch follow-up cadences, competitor positioning, and trust-building frameworks. Each prompt includes variable placeholders for company research, competitor intel, and pain-point routing. Designed for reps earning $50-150K/year with proven $2-8K/month tool budgets who want to reduce email drafting time by 50% while maintaining personalization at scale.

Who this is for

Early-stage SDRs writing 20-30 daily emails who want faster, higher-conviction templates for SaaS, Agencies, or Services buyers.

Who this is NOT for

Not for reps sending mass blasts or using copy-paste templates. Not for SDRs who prefer tool-based templates over strategic prompt frameworks. Not a replacement for research or personalization—this is a structure-builder for reps who do their homework.

54 copy-paste prompts across 3 variants.

Step 2 — Pick a Prompt and Fill in the Variables

Every prompt contains one or more {{VARIABLE}} placeholders — these are instructions to you, not to the AI.

Replace each {{VARIABLE}} with your real information before pasting.

Example — before: ``` Analyze the following system: {{ARCHITECTUREDESCRIPTION}} within {{BUSINESSCONTEXT}}. ```

Example — after (paste this to the AI): ``` Analyze the following system: We have a REST API on Node/Express serving a web dashboard and a mobile app. We return 80+ fields per product even though mobile only uses 6. Within the context of a Series A SaaS with 12 enterprise customers, $180k ARR. ```

How detailed should my variables be? 2–5 sentences or a short bullet list is enough Real and specific beats long and vague A rough draft is better than waiting for perfect

Step 3 — Paste into ChatGPT or Claude and Run

Recommended AI tools (in order of quality for these prompts): Claude Sonnet / Claude Opus (claude.ai) — best analytical depth ChatGPT GPT-4o (chat.openai.com) — great alternative ChatGPT GPT-4o mini — works for quick exploration; less depth

Free tier works. Paid tier gives better and longer responses.

Paste the entire filled-in prompt — do not summarize or shorten it. After the first response, follow up with questions like: "Focus on point 3 — give me a concrete example" "Rewrite this as a one-page memo for a non-technical stakeholder"

Common Questions

Q: Do I need to use every prompt? No. Think of this pack like a reference manual — use what fits your situation. Most buyers find 3–5 prompts they return to repeatedly.

Q: The AI gave me a vague answer. What do I do? Add more specifics to your variable text. One extra paragraph of context typically produces a dramatically better result.

Q: Can I share these prompts with my team? Your license covers personal and internal team use within one organization. You may not resell or republish the prompts publicly.

Q: Can I use these in other AI tools (Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot)? Yes. The prompts are plain text and work in any LLM chat interface.
