Cold Email with 'Refer a Colleague' as the CTA

## Overview Write a cold email where the primary CTA is not a meeting — it's a request to be referred to the right person internally — designed for reaching companies where you don't know the right contact. ## Use Cases - SDRs who've reached a gatekeeper and need to navigate to the economic buyer - Account executives threading into large enterprise accounts through adjacent contacts - Founders who connected with a VP but need access to the CTO or CFO ## Why This Prompt Works This prompt is engineered for professional outreach that converts. It follows the APEX structure — defining a hyper-specific persona, a singular task, clear context, numbered instructions, and strict quality rules — ensuring consistent, high-quality output across GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini. ## Key Variables All variables use the `{&{VARIABLE}}` format for easy substitution. Replace each variable with your specific context before using.
