Brand Pitch Toolkit for Influencers: Pitch Email Templates, Follow Up Sequence, Brand Hit List, AI Skill for Claude & ChatGPT, UGC Creator

The Pitch Machine is an AI skill for Claude and ChatGPT, made for influencers & creators. Scores every target 0–10, then builds each pitch around a content concept only you could have sent — with follow-up sequences in your voice, a scripted answer to every reply, and a scam shield.

Instant download. Works on the free tier. No coding. Brands don't answer “let's collab.” They answer ideas.

WHAT IS AN AI SKILL?
Think of it as a trained assistant you add to Claude or ChatGPT. It is a small folder of files: the step-by-step method the AI must follow, the templates it fills in, the checks it runs on itself, and a worked example. You load it once (about a minute), then talk to the AI in plain English the way you would brief a colleague. Instead of a generic chat answer, you get the finished piece of work as a real file you can print, send or open in Excel. No coding, no software to install, nothing to configure. It runs inside your own Claude or ChatGPT account.

THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
“Hi, I'm a content creator, I'd love to collab!” is a request for attention. It asks a busy marketing manager to do the imaginative work of figuring out what you'd actually make for them.

The pitches that get forwarded internally look different. They arrive as a content concept the brand can already picture, built on something only you have: your format, your access, your running joke, the place you film.

ABOUT THE EXAMPLES BELOW
The figures and names come from the built-in demo: Maya Chen, a Melbourne coffee-and-travel creator negotiating with a coffee brand. Type "demo" after setup and you watch the same run happen in front of you before you type a single real number.

WHAT IT DOES (6 JOBS, ONE SKILL)
1. Score the target list
Every candidate scored 0–10 on audience match, evidence they pay creators, product proof, timing and reachability. The score sets the tier, so a mid-size brand can be a quick win and a small one can get cut.

2. Generate the concepts
Your signature asset × the brand's commercial moment × a moment your audience knows × a format you actually make. Out comes a title and one sentence a marketing team can picture.

3. Pass the differentiation gate
Every concept faces one question out loud: could another creator in this niche send this unchanged? If yes, it gets rewritten. Then it's scored /10 — priority targets need 7 or better, anything at 5 or under never gets sent.

4. Write the sequence
First touch under 120 words, follow-ups on day 4, 9 and 16, DM versions too. Dates land in the tracker already moved off weekends, and the contact ladder finds a human instead of info@.

5. Handle every reply
Rates request, gifted-only, “no budget this quarter,” affiliate-only, “can you do $X.” Each routes to one correct move with a send-ready script. Replies that are two things at once get answered in one message: money, then scope, then timing.

6. Review the round you just sent
It reads your tracker and computes reply rate, deal rate and follow-through with the formulas shown, then splits replies by tier and by concept score. Then it names one change for next round. One.

WHAT YOU GET
• Every target fit-scored 0–10 — the score sets the tier, not the brand's size
• Concepts built on your signature assets, gated and scored /10
• Outreach sequence: day 0, 4, 9, 16 — plus tracker, concept bank and round review

The whole campaign leaves as files you can work from tomorrow:
• The outreach kit — every pitch written, every target scored, as a document
• The pitch tracker — a spreadsheet carrying fit score, concept score and every follow-up date, pre-filled
• The concept bank — every idea you generated but didn't send, scored and filed by season
• The round review — your reply rate, the diagnosis, and the one change to make next

YOUR FIRST FIVE MINUTES (copy-paste any of these)
› Build my brand hit list and score every target.
› Write the first touch for [brand] — under 120 words.
› They replied “what are your rates?” — write my answer.
› Here's my tracker from last month. Review the round.
› demo — watch it pitch a coffee brand end to end.

HOW TO SET IT UP (about a minute)
1. Download the zip and unzip it. Inside: a START-HERE file, INSTALL steps for Claude, and CHATGPT-SETUP for ChatGPT.
2. Claude app: Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload skill (or add the files to a Project). Claude Code: drop the folder into ~/.claude/skills/. ChatGPT: follow CHATGPT-SETUP (copy-paste, about two minutes).
3. Type "demo" to watch the skill run on a built-in example. Then give it your own details in plain English.

WHO MADE THIS
The Skill Mastery builds AI skills for working professionals: photographers, filmmakers, creators, marketers and sales teams. We don't start from what AI can do. We start from how the job is actually done, the methods the trade already trusts (here: floor/target/anchor rate math, pitch concepts and usage-rights pricing), the numbers that have to be right, and the mistakes that cost real money. Then we engineer the skill so the AI follows those rules every single time, and we test it the way a buyer would use it: on the built-in demo, on a cold scenario it has never seen, and in a currency other than our own. Every skill ships with a demo mode, a self-check, and a plain list of what it can't do.

WHY NOT JUST ASK THE CHATBOT?
• It pitches a concept, not a CV. A general chatbot writes an introduction. This builds the idea the brand can picture, from a field only you can fill: the format or access or constraint your audience knows you for. It won't generate concepts until that field exists.

• It shows the scores. In the demo, the pitch a creator would have sent on instinct scores 0/10 and the rewrite scores 10/10, with the five reasons printed next to each. Seeing that once is what makes you write the next one yourself.

• It never fakes anything. No invented “I've loved your brand for years,” no invented email address, no invented rate. A guessed address goes out labelled as a guess, and a guessed rate would become that brand's ceiling forever.

WHAT IT WON'T DO (read this before buying)
• It writes the pitch; it can't make a brand have budget this quarter. The reply scripts include the graceful exits for when they don't.
• It won't invent a contact. It works a five-step ladder to a real human, labels any inferred address “(pattern guess — verify before sending)”, and tells you when the address simply isn't findable.
• It negotiates nothing and carries no rate benchmarks by design. Once a brand names a number, that's The Deal Negotiator's job.

FAQ
Q: How is this different from just asking Claude or ChatGPT?
A: A chatbot writes one email when you ask for one. The Pitch Machine scores every target 0–10 before it writes anything, builds each concept from your own signature assets, tests it against one question (could another creator send this unchanged?), scores it out of 10, writes the whole four-touch sequence with dates, routes every possible reply to a scripted answer, and exports a tracker and a concept bank.

Q: What stops the pitches sounding like everyone else's?
A: A profile field called signature assets — the recurring series, the location, the access, the constraint or the running bit only you have. Every concept is built on one of those, then tested against the question of whether another creator in your niche could send it unchanged. If they could, it gets rewritten before you ever see it.

Q: I have no audience yet, or I only sell UGC. Will brands still reply?
A: There's a separate play for each. UGC-only targets brands buying paid social with thin creative, leads with portfolio and turnaround, and quotes no follower number at all. Under 10,000 followers, it leads with conversion and community rather than reach, expects local brands to score highest, and treats gifted as an opening position rather than an insult.

Q: Does it send the emails for me?
A: No. The Pitch Machine writes them and dates them in the tracker; you send them from your own inbox. That's deliberate — outreach from your real address performs better and keeps you in control. It also pre-dates every follow-up, because most yeses arrive on touch two or three.

Q: Is it a subscription?
A: No. The Pitch Machine is a one-time purchase, yours to keep, updates included. It runs inside the Claude or ChatGPT account you already have.

Q: Do I need a paid Claude or ChatGPT plan?
A: No. The free tiers run it. Paid plans give you longer sessions and stronger models, which is nicer but not required.

Q: Claude or ChatGPT: which should I use?
A: Both are included and both work. Claude gives the fuller experience because skills upload directly; ChatGPT setup is a two-minute copy-paste from the included CHATGPT-SETUP file.

Q: Do I need to know how to code?
A: No. You type in plain English. Setup is upload-a-file, and every step is written out for non-technical people.

Q: Does it work outside the US, in my currency?
A: Yes. It works in your currency, your date format and your market. It never converts or invents exchange rates.

Q: Can I use it for client work?
A: Yes. One purchase is a perpetual single-user licence; everything it produces is yours to use, unrestricted, for your own business or your clients. You just can't resell or share the skill files themselves.

Q: Is my data private?
A: It runs entirely inside your own Claude or ChatGPT account. We never see your numbers, clients or files.

Q: Can I use it on my phone?
A: Set it up once on a computer; after that it works from the Claude and ChatGPT phone apps too.

Q: Do I get updates?
A: Yes, free updates to this version. If a new version ships, message us on Etsy for the update.

Q: What if it doesn't work for me?
A: Digital files can't be returned on Etsy, but message us and we'll make it right, whether that's a fix, a walkthrough or a refund. A real person replies.
