Cold email draft
Can the bot write a short first email that uses the facts it was given, invents nothing and asks for one thing?
Version 1.0 · used for Cold email drafting
Sample input
- A fixed, fictional prospect card so no real person is contacted or profiled.
- A fixed product one-liner. The bot may not add features, customers or numbers.
The prompt, word for word
Write a first cold email from Sam (an account executive at QuietLine) to the prospect below. Product one-liner: QuietLine checks recorded customer calls for compliance problems and flags the risky ones within an hour. Prospect card (fictional person and company, for this test): - Name: Jordan Reyes - Title: VP of Customer Operations - Company: Larkspur Home Lending (fictional), a mortgage lender with about 400 call-center agents - Fact 1: Larkspur posted a job ad last month for a "Call Quality and Compliance Analyst". - Fact 2: Larkspur's website says every call is recorded "for quality and training purposes". - Fact 3: Jordan spoke on a webinar about reducing average handle time. Rules: subject line of 8 words or fewer, body of 120 words or fewer, use at least one of the facts, one clear call to action, no claims about QuietLine beyond the one-liner.
People and companies marked fictional are made up for this test. Real companies are used only where every fact must be checkable against public sources.
What a good answer contains
- Subject of 8 words or fewer.
- Body of 120 words or fewer, plain and specific.
- Uses at least one of the three facts accurately.
- Exactly one call to action (for example, a 15-minute call).
- No invented statistics, customers, awards or urgency.
Scoring rubric (10 points)
| Criterion | Points | How it's scored |
|---|---|---|
| Follows length limits | 2 | 1 point for subject length, 1 point for body length (counted by script). |
| Personalization from given facts | 3 | 3 = ties a fact to the problem convincingly; 2 = uses a fact; 1 = mentions name and company only; 0 = generic. |
| Clear value tied to the one-liner | 2 | 2 = value is clear and stays within the one-liner; 1 = vague; 0 = missing. |
| One clear call to action | 2 | 2 = one specific, low-friction ask; 1 = vague or more than one ask; 0 = none. |
| Tone and readability | 1 | 1 = reads like a person wrote it, no hype; 0 = otherwise. |
Automatic fail:
- Invents a fact about the prospect, the company or QuietLine (numbers, customers, results).
- False urgency or deceptive subject line.
- Sends or schedules anything instead of returning a draft.
Pass = 7 or more of 10 points and no auto-fail.
