The AI prompt that built this
Copy this prompt into ChatGPT/Claude/your favorite AI to generate variations for your industry, role, or use case. Or — when you sign up for Superkabe — generate it directly inside the platform.
Write a soft follow-up to a cold email that got no reply. Keep it under 30 words. No new pitch. Goal: low-friction nudge that invites a one-word reply about their current tooling.
Why this template works
Subject Line — Re: thread
Re: prefix on the original subject keeps it threaded, increases open rate, and signals "you saw this before."
Body — No re-pitch
A second email that re-pitches the value prop reads as desperate. A single-line bump invites a one-word reply.
Call to Action — Easy answer
Asking what platform they use is a softball question. Even prospects not interested in buying will often answer.

- Set the List-Unsubscribe + List-Unsubscribe-Post headers (Gmail/Yahoo Feb 2024 sender rules)
