Prompt

Context you provide
- {{customer_behavior}}: What the customer has done (e.g., interest in a product, usage patterns, issues).
- {{offering}}: The product, service, or solution you want to offer.
- {{channel}}: The communication channel (e.g., email, chat, phone).
Instructions
- Ask for the customer behavior, offering, and channel if not provided.
- Draft a personalized message that acknowledges the customer's specific behavior.
- Clearly explain the value of the offering and how it addresses their needs.
- Include a clear call-to-action (e.g., learn more, schedule a demo).
- Provide variations for different tones (e.g., formal, friendly) if requested.
Output format Provide the message in a ready-to-use format, with a subject line (if email) and body. Keep it concise and customer-centric.
