Research and target the right prospects

Use these prompts to research accounts, build prospect profiles, and identify the right people to approach before you write a single word of outreach.

Build a prospect profile

Help me build a prospect profile for [COMPANY NAME]. What I know about them: [PASTE ANY INFORMATION YOU HAVE: WEBSITE, NEWS, LINKEDIN INFO]. I sell [DESCRIBE YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE] to [DESCRIBE YOUR TYPICAL BUYER]. What can I infer about: their likely priorities, the problems they probably have that I can solve, potential objections, and the best angle to lead with in my outreach?

Research and target the right prospects

Identify the right contacts at a company

I want to sell [PRODUCT OR SERVICE] to [COMPANY NAME]. My typical buyer is [DESCRIBE: ROLE, SENIORITY, DEPARTMENT]. Help me think through: who is most likely to feel the pain I solve, who has budget authority for this kind of purchase, who influences the decision, and who could be a champion inside the organisation. What titles or roles should I be targeting?

Research and target the right prospects

Find a specific angle for a named account

I am targeting [COMPANY NAME] for [PRODUCT OR SERVICE]. From what I can see, they [DESCRIBE WHAT YOU KNOW: RECENT NEWS, GROWTH, HIRING, CHALLENGES]. Based on this, what is the most relevant and specific angle I should use in my outreach? What problem are they most likely experiencing right now that I can connect to? Help me find a hook that is specific to them, not generic.

Research and target the right prospects

Build an ideal customer profile

Help me build an ideal customer profile for [PRODUCT OR SERVICE]. My best current customers are [DESCRIBE: COMPANY TYPE, SIZE, INDUSTRY, ROLE OF BUYER]. What they have in common: [DESCRIBE].

Research and target the right prospects

Create a target account list framework

Help me build a framework for creating a target account list for [PRODUCT OR SERVICE]. I have a territory of [SIZE / REGION / SEGMENT]. My ICP is [DESCRIBE]. What criteria should I use to tier my accounts: tier 1 for highest effort, tier 2 for medium effort, tier 3 for lower-touch? How many accounts should I have in each tier given a [X MONTH] sales cycle?

Research and target the right prospects

Write outreach that gets responses

These prompts help you write cold emails, LinkedIn messages, and sequences that get replies from prospects who would otherwise ignore you.

Write a cold email

Write a cold email to [PROSPECT NAME], [THEIR ROLE] at [COMPANY]. I sell [PRODUCT OR SERVICE]. The relevant problem I believe they have is [DESCRIBE]. My angle is [SPECIFIC HOOK: RECENT COMPANY NEWS / INDUSTRY TREND / ROLE-SPECIFIC PAIN]. The email should be under 100 words, lead with their world not mine, have one specific ask, and not use any phrases like "I hope this finds you well" or "touching base".

Write outreach that gets responses

Write a LinkedIn outreach message

Write a LinkedIn connection request message and a follow-up message to [PROSPECT NAME] at [COMPANY]. I am reaching out because [SPECIFIC REASON: MUTUAL CONNECTION / THEIR POST / COMPANY TRIGGER].

Write a three-email outreach sequence to [PROSPECT NAME] at [COMPANY]. I sell [PRODUCT OR SERVICE]. Their likely problem: [DESCRIBE]. Email 1: lead with a specific, relevant insight or observation.

Write outreach that gets responses

Personalise a template for a specific prospect

Here is my standard outreach template: [PASTE TEMPLATE]. I want to personalise it for [PROSPECT NAME] at [COMPANY]. What I know about them: [PASTE: LINKEDIN BIO / RECENT POST / COMPANY NEWS / ROLE].

Write outreach that gets responses

Write a referral outreach email

Write an outreach email from me to [PROSPECT NAME] at [COMPANY], using a referral from [REFERRER NAME]. The referrer told me [DESCRIBE WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT THE PROSPECT'S SITUATION].

Write outreach that gets responses

Prepare for calls and demos

Use these prompts to prepare discovery questions, plan demos, anticipate objections, and walk into every sales conversation more prepared than the person on the other side of the table.

Build a discovery call plan

Help me plan a discovery call with [PROSPECT NAME] at [COMPANY]. What I know about them: [DESCRIBE]. The call is [DURATION]. I sell [PRODUCT OR SERVICE].

Anticipate and prepare for objections

I am going into a sales call with [PROSPECT] who sells or buys in [CONTEXT]. The objections I expect are: [LIST: PRICE / TIMING / COMPETITOR PREFERENCE / INTERNAL BUY-IN].

Do not give me scripted deflections.

Prepare for calls and demos

Prepare for a multi-stakeholder meeting

I have a meeting with multiple stakeholders at [COMPANY]: [LIST NAMES AND ROLES]. Each person cares about different things: [DESCRIBE WHAT EACH PERSON CARES ABOUT]. I am presenting [DESCRIBE].

Prepare for calls and demos

Write a pre-call research brief

Write a pre-call research brief for my meeting with [PROSPECT NAME] at [COMPANY] on [DATE].

These prompts help you write follow-ups that keep deals alive, handle stalled opportunities, and close in a way that feels natural rather than pushy.

Write a post-call follow-up email

Write a follow-up email after my sales call with [PROSPECT NAME] at [COMPANY]. What we discussed: [SUMMARY]. Next steps agreed: [LIST]. What I am sending them: [PROPOSAL / CASE STUDY / PRICING].

Follow up and close

Follow up and close

Re-engage a stalled deal

Write a re-engagement email for [PROSPECT NAME] at [COMPANY] whose deal has been stalled for [X WEEKS]. We last spoke about [DESCRIBE WHERE THE DEAL WAS].

Follow up and close

Write a closing email

Write a closing email to [PROSPECT NAME] who is close to making a decision. They need to decide by [DATE OR END OF QUARTER]. The remaining concerns they have expressed are [DESCRIBE]. Write an email that: addresses those concerns directly, reminds them of the value of acting now, and makes the next step completely clear. No pressure tactics. Make it feel like the obvious next step, not a close.

Follow up and close

Handle a lost deal gracefully

I just lost a deal with [PROSPECT NAME] at [COMPANY]. They went with [COMPETITOR / DECIDED NOT TO BUY]. Write an email that: thanks them for the process, asks one specific question about why they chose the way they did, and leaves the relationship in good shape for the future. Under 100 words. I want to learn something and keep the door open, not vent or beg.

Follow up and close

Frequently asked questions

Does using AI for sales outreach make messages feel less genuine?+

Only if you use the output without editing it. The salespeople who get the best results use ChatGPT to draft and structure their messages, then edit them to sound like themselves and add details specific to the prospect. The goal is to spend less time on the writing and more time on the personalisation.

Can ChatGPT help me get better at handling objections?+

Yes. You can use it to role-play objection handling: describe the objection you keep getting stuck on and ask it to play the prospect while you practise your response. It can also help you think through the real concern behind a surface objection so you address the right thing.

Should I use ChatGPT to write my emails or to learn to write better emails?+

Both. In the short term, use it to draft and speed up your output. Over time, pay attention to what it does well: leading with the prospect's world, being specific, keeping things short. The patterns it uses are worth internalising so your instincts improve.

What information do I need to give ChatGPT to get useful sales prompts?+

The more specific the better. At minimum: what you sell, who you are selling to (role and company), what problem they have, and any context about the specific person or account. Generic inputs produce generic outputs. Specificity is what separates useful AI-assisted outreach from spam.

Can ChatGPT help me hit quota?+

It can help you work more efficiently on the parts of selling that are about communication and preparation. It will not help you if your fundamentals are off: wrong ICP, wrong product-market fit, or a broken sales process. Use it to amplify good selling habits, not to replace them.
