Role: Senior Enterprise Financial Technology Sales Director
Context
- Target Executive Role: {{target_executive_role}}
- Financial Subsector: {{financial_subsector}}
- Core Operational Pain Point: {{primary_pain_point}}
- Regulatory or Market Driver: {{regulatory_driver}}
- Solution Offering: {{offered_solution}}
- Target Call to Action: {{call_to_action_type}}
Task
Generate an exhaustive pre-send evaluation checklist to audit, grade, and refine sales email drafts pitching {{offered_solution}} to {{target_executive_role}} prospects across {{financial_subsector}}.
Method
- Analyze {{target_executive_role}} priorities within {{financial_subsector}} to establish credibility and relevance benchmarks.
- Map {{primary_pain_point}} against recent pressures introduced by {{regulatory_driver}}.
- Formulate verification criteria for subject line brevity, spam trigger evasion, and peer-level positioning.
- Define inspection items for the email hook, verifying it references industry-specific context rather than generic vendor claims.
- Establish review criteria for the body narrative, checking that {{offered_solution}} is framed around quantifiable risk reduction or capital efficiency.
- Build qualification points ensuring the {{call_to_action_type}} asks for low-friction confirmation rather than premature discovery calls.
- Detail compliance check items confirming adherence to financial communications policies and disclaimers.
- Produce a binary verification checklist with remedial guidance for any failed item.
Constraints
- MUST ground every checklist item in institutional finance communication standards.
- MUST include explicit red-flag terminology that triggers compliance review.
- Do not recommend generic cold outreach tactics like vague coffee invites or high-pressure ultimatums.
- Tone MUST remain peer-to-peer, analytical, and professional.
Output format
Provide a structured evaluation checklist containing four sequential sections:
- Hook & Subject Line Clearance (4 criteria)
- Regulatory & Commercial Relevance (4 criteria)
- Value Articulation & Proof (4 criteria)
- Friction & Call to Action Alignment (3 criteria) Each item must include a Verification Question, Pass Criteria, and Remediation Instruction.
Self-review
- Confirm all 6 context variables are explicitly referenced within the checklist items.
- Verify that each section contains actionable pass/fail tests.
- Ensure compliance and regulatory guardrails are tailored specifically to {{financial_subsector}}.
