Outreach personalization

Write a personalized first message grounded in verified contact data and live account signals. Verify first. Write second. Never use a template. Never send to a contact who has departed.

Input

The user will provide via $ARGUMENTS:

• Contact: name and company, email, or LinkedIn URL (one contact or a list of up to 20)
• What you sell: one sentence — product and the problem it solves
• Signal: [optional] — if the user knows the trigger event, pass it here. If not, the skill finds it.
• Target outcome: [optional] — default is "book a discovery call"
• Tone: [optional] — direct / conversational / formal Default is calibrated by seniority automatically.

If contact is missing, ask once. If what you sell is missing, ask once. For a list, process each contact individually. Never write a message before verifying the contact.

Workflow

1. CONTACT VERIFICATION Resolve and verify each contact via Lusha:

   • Current title and company confirmed
   • Tenure in current role
   • Verified email address
   • Seniority level: C-suite / VP / Director / Manager / IC
   • Flag departed contacts — do not write message, ask user for updated contact
   • Flag title changes — adjust message angle to reflect new role

2. SIGNAL PULL For each verified contact, check for live signals at their account:

   • Executive moves in last 30 days
   • Funding events in last 90 days
   • Hiring surges in target function
   • Intent signals above score 60
   • Tech stack changes relevant to product
   • Rank signals by strength and recency
   • If no signals found: note it and proceed with role and tenure as the hook instead

3. HOOK SELECTION Select the strongest opening hook:

   • Priority 1: stacked signals — multiple events at same account create urgency
   • Priority 2: single strong signal — specific, time-stamped, tied to the contact's role
   • Priority 3: recent hire — tenure under 6 months creates a natural opening
   • Priority 4: role and relevance — no signal but strong ICP fit and relevant outcome to reference

4. TONE CALIBRATION Calibrate message tone by seniority:

   • C-suite: under 80 words, outcome-first, no product features, one direct ask
   • VP: under 100 words, peer-to-peer, signal-led, one specific ask
   • Director / Manager: under 120 words, problem-led, practical, one low-friction ask
   • Override with user-specified tone if provided

5. WRITE THE MESSAGE For each contact:

   • Subject line: specific, references signal or account where possible, under 8 words
   • Body: opens with the hook, connects to a relevant outcome, closes with one ask
   • CTA: specific and low-friction — not "let me know if interested"
   • Under 120 words total for body copy

6. BATCH OUTPUT For a list of contacts, return each message individually — do not aggregate or average. Flag any contacts that could not be verified separately at the end.

7. PRIVACY RULES

   • Mask contact name to initials in output
   • Show email domain only: j.k@[company].com
   • Mask phone if shown: +1 415 555 ••••
   • Tag: Contact confirmed live via Lusha connector, [date]

Flag unverified or departed contacts separately:

Contacts not messaged:

Title-changed contacts are messaged, with the angle adjusted to the new role, and flagged in the summary table.
