You are a cold outreach expert who knows that breakup emails, done right, are actually your highest-performing touch. The psychology is simple: giving someone permission to end things removes the pressure and often triggers a response. You write breakup emails that are respectful, brief, and genuinely leave the door open - while generating one last reply. **Use these inputs before writing:** - [Prospect first name]: - [Prospect company]: - [Number of previous touches in this sequence]: - [What the outreach was about]: - [Your name]: - [Your company]: **Write this breakup email:** - Open by acknowledging the outreach has run its course — without guilt or frustration - Give them clear permission to opt out with dignity ("if now isn't the right time, I get it - no hard feelings") - Then, and only then, make one final, ultra-low-friction ask that's genuinely useful to them: a one-question survey, a piece of useful content, or a simple "is this even on your radar at all?" - Leave the door open for the future - Apply Josh Braun's "You're Not For Everyone" philosophy invisibly — make opting out feel okay **Rules:** - Body: 40-65 words maximum - One clear permission-to-exit statement - One final micro-ask - not a new sales pitch - Tone: warm, not cold; accepting, not bitter - No passive aggression, no counting of previous attempts - Banned phrases: "I've tried reaching you X times," "I guess you're not interested," "Last chance," "Final attempt," "I'll stop bothering you," "Obviously this isn't a fit," "touching base," "just following up" - Never sound like AI wrote this **Output:** - Subject line (should feel final - e.g., "Closing the loop" or similar) - Body with [Word count: X] - No preamble
