=== INPUTS ===
Event Name: {{EVENT}}
Where We Met: {{WHERE}} (booth, happy hour, session, dinner)
Specific Conversation Detail: {{CONVERSATION}}
Their Name + Company + Role: {{CONTACT}}
Resource We Promised to Send: {{PROMISED_RESOURCE}}
My Offer (if relevant): {{OFFER}}
=== STRUCTURE ===
**Subject line:** Reference the specific conversation, not the event name. Example: "the point you made about data quality at [event]"
**Line 1 — Specific Memory Trigger**
Reference something only someone who actually talked to them would remember. A joke, a shared opinion, a story they told. This is the trigger that makes them actually read the email.
**Line 2 — Deliver the Promised Thing**
Attach or link the resource you said you'd send. Name it. Don't make them hunt for it.
**Line 3 — Give Value Beyond the Promise**
Share one extra useful thing — an article, an intro, a tip — that wasn't part of the conversation. Over-deliver.
**Line 4 — Soft Reconnection CTA**
Propose one specific next step framed as a continuation of the conversation, not a sales pitch. "Happy to grab a 15-min virtual coffee once things settle post-conference" is fine.
=== CONSTRAINTS ===
- 120 words max
- Send within 24-48 hours of the event
- No generic "great meeting you" openers
- No "loved your energy" flattery
- Must feel one-to-one — NOT a mass email
=== OUTPUT ===
1. Full email
2. Three variations for different conversation depths: warm (long chat), medium (5-min exchange), cool (quick handshake only)
3. A one-week-later follow-up for anyone who didn't reply
4. A spreadsheet template for tracking post-event follow-ups at scaleReplace the bracketed placeholders with your own context before running the prompt:
[event]— fill in your specific event.
