# Claude Prompt Meter: Cold Email Drip (5-email sequence)

## Email 1: Opener (Day 1)

**Subject:** One quick question: how much does each prompt cost you in Claude Code?

Hey [Name],

I just shipped a VS Code extension that does something I've been wanting for months: shows the real token cost of each prompt.

No dashboards. No API keys. Just a badge on every Claude Code suggestion that says "123 tokens / $0.18" right there in your editor.

Since you're using Claude in VS Code, I thought you'd want to see it. Five minute install.

## Email 2: Problem (Day 3)

**Subject:** Re: One quick question

Most teams I've talked to are flying blind on Claude Code costs. They know it's good, but they don't know if it's *expensive* good or *cheap* good.

So they either:
- Stop using it (might be throwing away productivity)
- Use it without limits (and get surprised by the AWS bill)
- Manually track tokens (tedious and error-prone)

The extension just shows you. Every suggestion, every cost.

If you're curious about the numbers, it takes 5 minutes to install and zero seconds to understand.

## Email 3: Social Proof (Day 5)

**Subject:** Three teams using this this week

[Name],

Three teams installed it this week. Two of them realized Claude was cheaper than GPT-4 at their scale. One realized they were getting 3x more value per token.

All three kept it on.

If you're on the fence about whether to look at your numbers, that might help.

## Email 4: Objection Handle (Day 7)

**Subject:** No, it doesn't slow down your editor

Quick objection I heard: "Won't this add overhead?"

Nope. The extension runs locally. Zero API calls. Zero latency. It's literally just reading what Claude Code already shows you and doing math.

You might actually find you work faster once you know the cost-per-suggestion.

## Email 5: Close (Day 9)

**Subject:** Last one, I promise

[Name],

If you're running a team that uses Claude Code, this solves a real problem: you finally know what it costs.

If you're not ready to install it, no worries. Just bookmark it for when the question comes up next quarter.

Either way, let me know if you have questions.
