Prereqs
Make sure your list is cleaned and enriched before coming here. Otherwise, the emails will look very generic.Write your prompt
Navigate to your campaign/prompt page. You can write individual prompts for each part of the email sequence. Ellis supports a sequence of 3 over 3 business days. Emails are only sent during business hours. Enter in your sender persona. Remember, your sender name should match the name of your inbox. Enter in key features you want to focus on in your outreach. Be short and simple, it makes it easier for the LLM to understand. Click generate early and often to get an idea of what the emails will look like. The shorter you make them, and the more included and excluded phrases you enter, the more consistent the output will be. Liberally use the “excluded phrases” to exclude standard ai generated words. Ellis has a filter for the most common of these, but the more you review the better. We recommend adding at least 2 links to the outbound. 1 for booking a meeting directly with you on calendly, and 1 more for an extra resource. We recommend a landing page, blog post, case study, etc. The more time you spend writing the copy for your campaign, the better results you will get.Save your prompt
Be sure to save your prompt when you’re finished!!!Send yourself a test email
