We all know that creating personalized outreach emails is a crucial skill for sales. A well-timed and relevant message can boost open rates and lead to engagement. Unfortunately, it’s time-consuming and expensive to write each outreach email manually.

Leveraging the power of AI and ChatGPT, the possibilities of creating personalized and engaging messages at scale are unlimited! In this article, we will look at effective ChatGPT prompts and automations to save time and boost your outreach effectiveness.

AI email writer with OpenAI using Bardeen

What if you could use AI email writer in your browser without visiting the OpenAI website, or know how to integrate with OpenAI API? Bardeen, a Chrome workflow automation extension, makes that possible!

What's better? You don't even need a premium ChatGPT subscription to use these AI email generators.

Bardeen is integrated with OpenAI and over fifty productivity apps. Since it has a built-in scraper, it can also gather client details for you. Here’s a walkthrough of Bardeen and how to use it to write emails with OpenAI.

Now, let’s go through Bardeen automations for AI-powered sales outreach.

Write personalized outreach emails with AI

These automations allow you to leverage Bardeen’s built-in web scraper and OpenAI’s GPT to compose personalized outreach emails.

This automation scrapes valuable details about a LinkedIn profile and couples them with your prompt to create an AI-generated outreach email. You can also personalize your outreach email based on a LinkedIn post.

Similar to the above automation, this automation allows you to create an outreach email based on the transcript of a YouTube video.  We also have many other AI-powered YouTube automations you can try. Here's another example below.

If you want to email a group of people, use this automation. It’ll create an email draft for a list of email addresses in Google Sheets using OpenAI. Visit this page for more sales automations.

Write emails to customers

We also have automations to write emails to existing customers in your system. Whether you want to notify them about an update or nudge them toward purchasing a product, you can use these automations.

We also have hundreds of other automations to optimize your Salesforce, HubSpot, and Affinity workflows. Here's the sample below.

Manage customer feedback efficiently

In addition to writing outreach emails, you can also use AI to manage your emails. With the following automations, you can summarize your emails and make them easier to access.

If you’re overwhelmed with emails, you can use AI to summarize them and view them on Asana to save time. This automation is also available for ClickUp, HubSpot, Slack, Airtable, Coda, Google Sheets, and Notion.

There’s nothing like positive customer feedback to motivate your team to perform better! Whenever you receive a new email, this automation will check if it has a positive sentiment and save it to Airtable. You can also copy the emails to Coda, Google Sheets, and Notion.

Similar to the above automation, this automation will instead copy emails with a negative sentiment to Google Sheets. However, you can also use this automation for Airtable, Coda, and Notion.

When you receive an email with negative sentiment, this automation creates a task in ClickUp (or Asana). So, your team can start working on it and resolve it as soon as possible.

If you have an idea for an automation that isn’t available yet, you can make it using the Magic Box. Simply describe the automation in plain English, and Bardeen AI will develop it into a full-fledged automation. Plus, share your idea with the Bardeen community on Discourse!

Best ChatGPT outreach email prompts

ChatGPT does a great job of understanding what you want, but you can get better results using accurate and specific prompts. If your prompt describes precisely what you want, the ChatGPT result will be significantly better.

Before you begin, open a new chat window and let ChatGPT know about your company. If you’re writing an outreach email for a high-value client, feed ChatGPT their name, company, role, and other details. This will give it some context to work with and help compose more relevant results.
