Requirements: under 100 words, lead with their situation not ours, one specific reason why I am reaching out to them specifically, one clear next step (not a demo request — a lower-commitment ask). No exclamation marks. No 'I hope this email finds you well.' Subject line included.

Write a LinkedIn connection request message for [prospect name], [job title] at [company]. Context: [why are you reaching out — shared connection, mutual interest, their content, their company news].

Do not mention your product in the connection request.

You are a B2B sales specialist. Write a 4-email follow-up sequence for a prospect who did not respond to my initial outreach about [product/service]. Email 1 (Day 3): Different angle — lead with a relevant insight or stat, not a re-pitch. Email 2 (Day 7): Value delivery — share one genuinely useful resource or insight with no ask. Email 3 (Day 14): Create FOMO — what is the cost of not solving this problem. Email 4 (Day 21): Breakup email — polite close that often triggers a reply. Each email: under 80 words. Tone: confident, not desperate. One CTA per email.

(3) The silent pause — instruction to wait 5 seconds. (4) Response to 'That's more than I expected' — reframe to ROI, not discount. (5) Response to 'Can you do better on price?' — how to negotiate without eroding value. Write as a dialogue guide with exact language.
