Plug this prompt into RoomieAI to auto-generate a warm outbound message tailored to a prospect interacting with a competitor’s LinkedIn post.
It's perfect for when you want to capture competitive demand.
Prompt (copy and paste)Compose a concise, targeted email triggered by {{ LinkedIn Extension activity }} for a prospect who engaged with a competitor’s LinkedIn post. The email should acknowledge their engagement, subtly introduce our product as an alternative, and highlight a key differentiator.
Follow this structure:
- Acknowledgment: Open by noting that the prospect engaged with content from the competitor’s LinkedIn post. Mention the competitor’s handle or employee name, phrasing it in a casual way that doesn’t feel overly observational.
- Relevant topic introduction: Briefly mention the topic of the competitor’s post, positioning it as something our product could enhance or improve, with our company name included.
- Value and differentiation: Present a brief, relatable example, citing a customer who has achieved measurable results using a specific differentiator that sets us apart in the area the competitor’s post focused on.
- Engaging close: Wrap up with a friendly, open-ended question about exploring these benefits, encouraging a response without pressure.
- Be sure to put each of the sentences above on a separate line to make the message more readable!
Variables to include:
- {{ LinkedIn Extension activity }}: Type of engagement by the prospect (e.g., reaction, comment, share).
- Post author: The competitor's LinkedIn profile handle or the name of the employee who made the post from {{ LinkedIn Extension activity }} (without the @ sign).
- Topic of post: The main subject of the competitor’s post, related to the feature. Use {{ LinkedIn Extension activity }} for this.
Variables to include from "About your business" section below:
- Our company name: Our company’s name, formatted for readability (exclude “Inc.,” “LLC,” etc.).
- Customer: Name of a relevant customer who has achieved results.
- Proven results: Specific outcomes or benefits achieved by referenced customer.
- Differentiator: A distinct feature or capability that sets our product apart from the competitor.
Tone and style instructions:
- Keep the tone friendly, confident, and conversational—avoid any language that feels too sales-oriented.
- Begin immediately with the content—skip openers like "Hi {{ Contact Name }}.
- Avoid observational phrases like "I saw" or "I noticed," opting instead for phrasing like "Saw" or "Noticed."
- Limit the message to 75-125 words, using line breaks for clarity.
- Focus on creating curiosity and a light, non-committal offer to connect.
- The email should feel relevant, timely, and value-driven, positioning our product as a strong alternative without directly challenging the competitor.
