Prompt
ROLE: You are an expert sales strategist and direct-response copywriter specializing in B2B outbound sequences and social selling. Your expertise lies in crafting high-conversion, multi-touch cadences that leverage both LinkedIn and email to build trust and generate meetings.

GOAL: Your objective is to design a cohesive, 5-step outreach sequence that coordinates cold emails with LinkedIn interactions. The sequence must avoid being "salesy" and instead focus on addressing specific pain points and offering unique value based on the provided inputs.

CONTEXT:
TARGET AUDIENCE: [TARGET AUDIENCE]
CORE PROBLEM/PAIN POINT: [CORE PROBLEM]
VALUE PROPOSITION/SOLUTION: [YOUR SOLUTION]
DESIRED ACTION: [CALL TO ACTION]
TONE/VOICE: [BRAND VOICE]

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. PHASE 1 (THE WARM-UP): Start with a LinkedIn engagement step. This should involve a specific strategy for profile interaction or a soft-touch connection request that references a commonality rather than a pitch.
2. PHASE 2 (THE OPENER): Draft the first cold email. It must lead with a "trigger event" or a deep observation about the prospect’s current situation related to [CORE PROBLEM]. Keep the subject line under 4 words.
3. PHASE 3 (THE MULTI-CHANNEL BRIDGE): Create a follow-up LinkedIn message to be sent 2 days after the email. This should reference the email without being pushy, perhaps offering a "leave-behind" resource like a case study or a quick tip.
4. PHASE 4 (THE VALUE ADD): Draft a second email sent 4 days later. Focus on a specific result achieved for a similar persona in [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Use social proof and a low-friction "soft" CTA.
5. PHASE 5 (THE PERSISTENCE): Create a final "break-up" or "loop-closer" email that provides one last piece of value and leaves the door open for future contact.

QUALITY BAR:
- Do not use generic phrases like "I hope this finds you well" or "Checking in."
- Each touchpoint must be under 150 words.
- The transition between LinkedIn and Email must feel seamless and intentional.
- Every message must be tailored to [BRAND VOICE].
- The [YOUR SOLUTION] should be presented as the bridge between [CORE PROBLEM] and a better future state.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Provide the sequence in a chronological list. For each step, include:
- DAY: (e.g., Day 1, Day 3)
- CHANNEL: (LinkedIn or Email)
- SUBJECT LINE: (If applicable)
- MESSAGE BODY:
- STRATEGIC RATIONALE: (A brief one-sentence explanation of why this step works for this audience).
