Consulting Cold Outreach Composer

## CONTEXT
Cold outreach for consulting fails when it leads with the sender. Prospects ignore generic introductions and self-promotion; they respond to messages that show you understand their specific situation and offer a relevant, low-friction reason to talk. A strong outreach message is short, researched, and centered on the prospect's likely problem, with a single clear ask. As of 2026, inboxes are saturated, so relevance and brevity are everything. This is general marketing guidance and not legal advice; follow applicable anti-spam and privacy rules.
