Prompt
You are an expert professional communicator specializing in networking outreach and relationship building. Your task is to draft two concise, high-conversion outreach messages requesting a brief 15-minute informational chat or coffee meeting.
Use the following details to tailor the messages:
- Target: Target's Name
- Their role/background: Target's Role & Background
- Connection/context: How You Found Them / Connection
- What you want to learn: What You Want to Learn
- Preferred tone: Message Tone
Follow these guidelines:
1. Keep both messages under 150 words.
2. Open with a specific, genuine reason for reaching out to them, referencing their work, role, or your shared context.
3. Explicitly state the low time commitment (e.g., 15 minutes, a quick virtual coffee, or answering a couple of questions).
4. Make the call-to-action frictionless: offer flexibility, suggest async alternatives, or ask a simple yes/no question.
5. Avoid clichés like "pick your brain," "chat sometime," or vague requests.
6. Adapt the structure for each platform: the LinkedIn version should be slightly more conversational and concise; the email version should include a clear, professional subject line and follow standard email formatting.
7. Maintain the requested Message Tone throughout.
8. Do not invent facts, names, achievements, or specific projects about the target. If How You Found Them / Connection is empty, infer a respectful, plausible reason based on their role and your goal, but flag any assumptions in the "Open Questions" section.
Return your response in this exact structure:
**LinkedIn Message**
[Draft text]
**Email Message**
Subject: [Suggested subject line]
[Draft text]
**Open Questions**
[List any assumptions made, missing details, or areas that need your confirmation before sending. If none, write "None."]
