AI Prompts for AI Prompts for Sales Techniques

Help me research and prepare for outreach to [PROSPECT NAME / ROLE] at [COMPANY]. What I know: [PASTE THEIR LINKEDIN HEADLINE / RECENT NEWS / COMPANY INFO]. Based on this, identify: (1) the most likely business challenges someone in their role faces right now, (2) a specific trigger or angle that makes this a good time to reach out, (3) a personalized first line for a cold email that references something specific, not generic. Make it feel researched, not templated.

Write a 6-touch prospecting sequence for reaching [BUYER PERSONA] about [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. Channels: [EMAIL / LINKEDIN / PHONE]. Each touch should have a different angle: touch 1 (insight or business problem), touch 2 (social proof or case study), touch 3 (direct value ask), touch 4 (different channel), touch 5 (breakup email). Write the actual copy for each touch. Keep emails under 100 words. Include a LinkedIn message variant for touches 2 and 4.

I need to personalize outreach to [X] prospects in [INDUSTRY / ROLE]. The common thread across all of them is [SHARED SITUATION: RECENT FUNDING / NEW REGULATION / INDUSTRY TREND / COMMON TECH STACK]. Write a personalization formula: a 1-2 sentence opening I can customize with 2-3 variable fields, the common pain-focused bridge that works for all of them, and the ask. Show me 3 filled-in examples using these variables: [PASTE 3 PROSPECT NAMES / COMPANIES].

Here are 3 cold emails I have sent with low open rates: [PASTE EMAILS + SUBJECT LINES + OPEN RATES IF KNOWN]. Diagnose what is wrong with the subject lines and opening sentences. Then rewrite each with: a new subject line (under 8 words, no click-bait), an opening line that is specific to them (not "I hope this finds you well"), and the same core message improved. Explain what you changed and why.

Write a script for asking a satisfied customer for a referral. The customer is [DESCRIBE: RELATIONSHIP LENGTH, WHAT THEY USE THE PRODUCT FOR, THEIR LEVEL OF SATISFACTION]. The ask should: feel natural and not transactional, be specific about what kind of referral I am looking for (role, company type, situation), offer something in return [WHAT YOU CAN OFFER IF ANYTHING], and make it easy for them to say yes with minimal effort. Write a version for an in-person conversation and a version for an email.

Build a discovery question bank for selling [PRODUCT/SERVICE] to [BUYER PERSONA]. Organize by category: (1) situation questions (understand their current state), (2) problem questions (surface pain or dissatisfaction), (3) implication questions (explore the consequences of the problem), (4) need-payoff questions (get them articulating the value of solving it). Write 4 questions per category. Include a note on when to use each and what a strong answer sounds like.

Help me practice active listening in sales conversations. Give me 5 examples of what a prospect says, ranging from clear to ambiguous. For each, show me: (1) the surface-level response most reps give, (2) an active listening response that reflects back, asks a follow-up, and invites more, and (3) what you are listening for underneath what they said. Focus on: [SITUATION: PAIN ACKNOWLEDGMENT / BUDGET SIGNALS / INTERNAL POLITICS / URGENCY / COMPETITOR MENTIONS].

Write a qualification framework for [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. Define the must-have criteria for a qualified opportunity: budget (what range makes sense and how to verify it), authority (who the real decision-makers are and how to identify them), need (what specific problems make us a strong fit), and timeline (what signals urgency vs. wishful thinking). Include specific questions to verify each criterion and a disqualification threshold for each.

Help me uncover the real decision-making process at a prospect account. What I know: [DESCRIBE: WHAT THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THEIR PROCESS, WHO I HAVE MET, WHAT STAGE THEY SAY THEY ARE AT]. Generate 5 questions I can ask in my next conversation to map the actual process: who else is involved, what the evaluation criteria are, how they have bought solutions like this before, what could slow or kill the deal, and what the internal champion needs to sell this internally.

Help me develop the business impact of this prospect's stated problem: [DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM THEY MENTIONED]. Their role is [JOB TITLE] at a [COMPANY TYPE]. Identify: (1) the downstream consequences of this problem for their team and their business, (2) how this problem likely affects their personal performance or goals, (3) what the cost of inaction is over 6-12 months, (4) how I can quantify the impact in terms they will care about. This helps me connect our solution to real business value, not features.

Help me restructure this presentation to lead with the prospect's problem instead of our product. Current structure: [DESCRIBE OR PASTE YOUR DECK OUTLINE]. Their main pain is [WHAT YOU KNOW FROM DISCOVERY]. Redesign the flow: open with their situation and the cost of the status quo, confirm the problem before showing any solution, connect each capability directly to a pain point, use their language not ours, and close with the before/after for their specific situation.

Write a tailored demo script for [PRODUCT] for a prospect with these specific needs: [LIST 3-4 THINGS YOU LEARNED IN DISCOVERY]. The demo should: open by connecting to what they told you, show only the 3-4 features that directly address their stated problems, use a "before/after" framing for each feature, include 2 confirmation questions mid-demo to check they are following, and close with a clear question about next steps. Under 20 minutes total.

Generate responses to these 5 questions that commonly come up mid-demo for [PRODUCT]: [LIST YOUR 5 MOST COMMON INTERRUPTIONS]. For each: write a response that answers the question directly, maintains demo momentum, and optionally turns the question into a discovery insight. Include a technique for handling the "can you show me X" request when X is not your strongest feature or is not on the agenda.

Create a business case template for [PRODUCT/SERVICE] that a champion can use to get internal buy-in. Include: executive summary (what we are buying and why), current state and cost of the problem (with placeholder for their numbers), proposed solution overview, expected outcomes and ROI (with formula to calculate their specific numbers), implementation timeline and risk mitigation, and recommendation. Format it so the champion fills in the brackets with real numbers from our discovery conversations.

Help me improve the storytelling in my pitch for [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. My current pitch summary: [PASTE OR DESCRIBE IT]. Critique: is there a clear villain (the problem), a hero (the customer, not us), a moment of transformation, and a concrete proof point? Then rewrite the core 2-minute pitch narrative using these story elements. Keep it about the customer's journey, not our product features. Make it specific enough to be memorable.

Help me advance a deal that has stalled. Situation: [DESCRIBE: DEAL STAGE, LAST CONTACT, WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT THE STATED REASON FOR DELAY IS]. Diagnose the most likely real reason for the stall (not the stated reason). Then write: (1) a re-engagement email that acknowledges the silence without being passive-aggressive, (2) a direct question I can ask to surface the real blocker, and (3) a creative approach to create legitimate urgency without manufacturing a fake deadline.

Write a mutual action plan (MAP) template for a deal at [STAGE] with [PROSPECT TYPE]. The MAP should cover the remaining steps for both sides from now through contract signature: our actions, their actions, external dependencies (legal, IT, procurement), decision milestones, and target dates. Format it as a shared document both parties fill in and agree to. The goal is to make the path to close explicit and jointly owned.

Help me handle a price objection without discounting. The prospect said: [EXACT QUOTE OR PARAPHRASE]. Our pricing is [RANGE]. Generate 4 responses I can use that: (1) acknowledge the concern without apologizing for our price, (2) reframe toward value and ROI, (3) explore what is really driving the price sensitivity (budget cap vs. perceived value mismatch), and (4) offer a path forward that does not involve discounting (phased rollout, different tier, start smaller). Include language for each response.

Help me prepare for a contract negotiation for [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. The prospect wants to negotiate: [LIST THEIR ASKS]. My constraints are: [WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT MOVE ON]. For each ask: write my opening response, the concession I could offer if I have to move, what I want in return for any concession (quid pro quo), and the line I will not cross. Also write an opening statement that acknowledges their concerns while anchoring toward our standard terms.

Write closing questions for these 5 buying signals a prospect might show during a call: (1) they ask about implementation timeline, (2) they ask who else uses this and for how long, (3) they ask about contract flexibility, (4) they cc their manager on an email, (5) they ask if the price changes at year end. For each signal, write the question I should ask in response that moves the conversation toward commitment without being pushy.
