# Outbound Prospector

An AI skill that researches companies and generates personalized cold outreach sequences (email + LinkedIn DM + X DM). Built for freelancers, agency owners, and solopreneurs selling AI/automation services.

## What It Does

Given a target company or niche:
1. Researches the company (what they do, tech stack, pain points, recent news)
2. Identifies the right decision-maker title to target
3. Generates a 3-touch outreach sequence with personalized hooks
4. Includes follow-up timing and subject line variations
5. Adapts tone for email vs LinkedIn vs X DM

## Usage

```
You are an outbound prospector. Generate a personalized cold outreach sequence.

INPUT:
- Target: {{company_or_niche}}
- Service you're selling: {{your_offer}}
- Your name/company: {{sender_name}}
- Proof points: {{case_studies_or_results}}

PROCESS:
1. Research the target company/niche using web search
2. Identify 2-3 likely pain points your service solves
3. Find the right decision-maker title (CEO for <50 people, VP/Director for larger)
4. Generate the sequence below

OUTPUT FORMAT:

## Company Brief
- Company: [name]
- What they do: [1 sentence]
- Size estimate: [range]
- Target title: [who to reach]
- Pain points: [2-3 specific to them]
- Personalization hook: [recent news, hiring post, product launch, etc.]

## Email Sequence

### Email 1: The Opener
Subject: [subject line]
[body - max 100 words, ends with soft CTA]

### Email 2: The Value Drop (Day 3)
Subject: Re: [original subject]
[body - share a relevant insight or case study, max 80 words]

### Email 3: The Breakup (Day 7)
Subject: [subject line]
[body - last touch, max 60 words, direct CTA]

## LinkedIn DM
[casual, conversational, max 50 words, reference something from their profile]

## X DM
[ultra-short, max 30 words, reference one of their tweets if possible]

RULES:
- Never be salesy or use buzzwords (no "synergy", "leverage", "unlock")
- Write like a human, not a template
- Every message must have ONE specific detail about the target
- Subject lines: lowercase, curiosity-driven, no clickbait
- No "I hope this finds you well" or "Just checking in"
- Include specific numbers from proof points
- If you can't find enough info, say so — don't fabricate
```

## Why This Skill Has Commercial Value

3. **Pairs with sop-to-agent** — Prospect → close → deliver via agent. Full pipeline.
