Design an 8-touch follow-up cadence with channel variety

Sales & Outreach cadencefollow-up

Most cadences are 4 emails in 8 days. This produces a real multi-channel cadence with varied angles, calibrated to a deal stage.

Prompt
Build an 8-touch follow-up cadence over 21 days for this prospect.

Last touchpoint: {{LAST_TOUCH}}
Deal stage: {{DEAL_STAGE}}
Product: {{PRODUCT_CONTEXT}}
What I learned about them: {{NOTES}}

For each of the 8 touches, output:
- Day (relative)
- Channel (email, LinkedIn DM, voicemail, video, phone)
- Angle (insight-share, question, breakup, case study, social-proof, calendar nudge)
- The actual message (or call talk-track) — 60 words max

Distribute channels: no more than 3 emails in a row. Include one 'breakup' touch at #7. End at #8 with a re-open offer 30 days later.
Variables to fill in
  • {{LAST_TOUCH}}
  • {{DEAL_STAGE}}
  • {{PRODUCT_CONTEXT}}
  • {{NOTES}}

Why this prompt is structured this way

The prompt is split into explicit steps because LLMs do better when the path is named, not implied. Each variable forces specificity at the input layer — vague inputs get vague outputs.
