As highlighted in another article, we recommend you provide clear and detailed instructions using the CO-STAR framework when writing a tone for engagement.
We also understand writing your first tone using this framework can be challenging, so we prepared some examples to get you started quickly.
The sample tones below all utilize the CO-STAR framework, ensuring clarity, specificity, and relevance. Feel free to copy and adapt these samples to fit your unique background, needs, and objectives.
Please note that we crafted the sample tones for a B2B SMB owner who provides data engineering and AI consulting services to other large enterprises.
Remember, AI can never replace you. Always be sure to add your personal touch to the suggested comments to make them authentic.
Treat AI as a trusty aide. When you're tired but still want to go out prospecting to bring in new opportunities, AI is there to give you suggestions so you don't have to start completely from scratch.
