AI Prompts for AI Prompts for Sales Training

Create a 30-60-90 day onboarding checklist for a new [ROLE: SDR / AE / ACCOUNT MANAGER] at [COMPANY TYPE]. For each phase: 5-7 specific tasks covering product knowledge, sales process, tool setup, relationship building, and first performance milestones. Include which team member is responsible for each task and the deliverable that proves it is complete.

Create a 15-question product knowledge quiz for new sales reps at [COMPANY]. Our product does [WHAT IT DOES]. Our main buyer is [WHO]. Include questions covering: core use cases (5 questions), competitive differentiation (5 questions), pricing and packaging (3 questions), and common objections (2 questions). Include answer explanations so reps learn from wrong answers.

Write a concise ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) briefing document for new sales reps at [COMPANY]. Include: company characteristics we target (industry, size, revenue, tech stack), buyer personas (role, goals, pain points, triggers for purchase), signals that indicate a good fit vs. a bad fit, and 3 real-world examples of our best customers and why they bought. Keep it under 500 words.

Create a sales battlecard for [OUR PRODUCT] vs. [COMPETITOR]. Include: how to identify if a prospect is evaluating the competitor, our 3 strongest differentiators with specific proof points, their 3 strongest claims and how to reframe or counter each, questions to ask that highlight our strengths, and a recommended close when facing this competitor. Keep it to one page.

Write a first discovery call talk track for a new [ROLE] selling [PRODUCT/SERVICE] to [BUYER PERSONA]. Include: opening (30 seconds, not a pitch), 5 discovery questions in priority order, how to transition from discovery to qualification, how to close the call for a next step, and 2 example ways to handle "we are not interested right now." Keep it natural, not scripted-sounding.

Create a realistic cold call roleplay scenario for practicing [SKILL: COLD OPENERS / DISCOVERY QUESTIONS / HANDLING GATEKEEPERS / EARLY OBJECTIONS]. The prospect is [PERSONA: E.G. VP OF OPERATIONS AT A MID-MARKET MANUFACTURER]. Their likely reaction to a cold call is [SKEPTICAL / NEUTRAL / BUSY]. Write the prospect's opening response and 3 different ways the call could go, each requiring a different rep response. Include coaching notes on what good looks like for each branch.

Generate 8 objection handling practice scenarios for [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. For each objection: write the exact prospect phrasing (use real-sounding language, not textbook versions), then write a strong response using the [FEEL/FELT/FOUND / ACKNOWLEDGE-EXPLORE-RESPOND / OTHER FRAMEWORK]. Objections to include: price, timing, current vendor, no budget, need to check with team, not a priority right now, send me more information, and we tried something like this before.

Create a discovery call practice scenario where the prospect gives mixed signals. The prospect is [PERSONA] at [COMPANY TYPE]. They have [REAL PAIN: DESCRIBE IT], but they are [COMPLICATION: NOT AWARE THE PAIN IS SOLVABLE / LOYAL TO CURRENT VENDOR / BUDGET-CONSTRAINED / EVALUATING 3 COMPETITORS]. Write the prospect's profile, opening statement, and answers to 5 discovery questions so a rep can practice navigating a realistic conversation, not an easy one.

Design a demo practice exercise for [PRODUCT]. The rep needs to practice: leading with the problem before showing features, asking confirmation questions mid-demo, handling an interruption or sceptical question without losing the thread, and closing toward a next step. Write a scenario with the prospect persona, 3 interruptions the prospect might make during the demo, and the coaching rubric for what a strong response looks like for each.

Create a negotiation roleplay for the final stage of a [PRODUCT/SERVICE] sale. The prospect wants [SPECIFIC ASKS: 20% DISCOUNT / EXTENDED PAYMENT TERMS / EXTRA SEATS AT SAME PRICE / SLA UPGRADE]. Their BATNA (best alternative) is [COMPETITOR OR DELAY]. Write the opening negotiation position the prospect takes, their response to the first pushback, and 2 different paths the negotiation can take. Include coaching notes on where reps typically give up too much and what good anchoring looks like.

Help me analyze a stuck deal. Here is the situation: [DESCRIBE: PRODUCT, DEAL SIZE, STAGE, HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN STUCK, WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR, WHAT THE REP HAS TRIED]. Diagnose: what is most likely keeping this deal from moving (champion engagement, budget, competition, timing, internal prioritization)? Recommend 2-3 specific actions the rep can take in the next 7 days to either advance it or qualify it out.

I am reviewing this sales call transcript and want coaching notes: [PASTE TRANSCRIPT OR DESCRIBE KEY MOMENTS]. Evaluate: (1) discovery quality (did they uncover real pain or stay surface-level?), (2) control of the conversation (did the rep or prospect drive?), (3) next step quality (specific and committed vs. vague), (4) one thing the rep did well to reinforce, (5) one skill to practice before the next call with this prospect.

Create a deal review template for weekly 1:1s between a sales manager and an [AE / SDR / ACCOUNT MANAGER]. The template should take under 10 minutes to complete and cover: deal stage and forecast category, key next step and date, champion and executive sponsor status, competition and differentiation, risk factors, and manager coaching action. Format it so the rep completes it before the meeting and the manager adds coaching notes during.

Help me structure a lost deal post-mortem for a deal we lost to [COMPETITOR / "NO DECISION"]. The deal was: [PRODUCT, SIZE, STAGE LOST, WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT WHY]. Generate 6 specific questions to explore in the debrief that go beyond "why did we lose" to uncover: where in the process we lost control, what the prospect really valued, what we could have done differently at each stage, and what this tells us about our ICP or competitive position.

Help me build a forecast coaching session for a rep whose forecasts are consistently [OVER-OPTIMISTIC / INACCURATE]. The session should cover: how to distinguish genuine buyer intent from polite interest, qualifying questions to test each deal in their pipeline, a framework for forecast category assignment (commit vs. best case vs. pipeline), and 2-3 questions to ask prospects that surface real buying urgency. Keep it practical, not theoretical.

Write a [SECTION] for our sales playbook. Section: [E.G. DISCOVERY PROCESS / OBJECTION HANDLING / DEMO FLOW / NEGOTIATION APPROACH / CLOSING SEQUENCES]. Audience: new reps with [SOME / NO] prior sales experience. Include: the process or framework in numbered steps, example language for each step, what good looks like vs. what to avoid, and a quick-reference summary at the end. Keep it practical enough that a rep can use it on a live call.

Create a ramp performance scorecard for new [ROLE] at [COMPANY TYPE]. Track the metrics that predict ramp success across 30, 60, 90, and 120 days: activity metrics (calls, emails, meetings booked), pipeline metrics (opportunities created, pipeline value), and quality metrics (show rate, discovery scores, forecast accuracy). Include benchmark targets for each milestone and a red/yellow/green status system.

Write a set of sales email templates for each stage of the sales process for [PRODUCT/SERVICE] selling to [BUYER PERSONA]. Templates needed: (1) initial cold outreach, (2) follow-up after no response, (3) meeting confirmation and pre-work, (4) post-meeting recap and next steps, (5) deal stall re-engagement, (6) legal/security/procurement follow-up, (7) closed-lost follow-up (keep the door open). Each under 150 words with clear placeholder brackets.

Build a 30-minute training module on [SPECIFIC SKILL: ACTIVE LISTENING / EXECUTIVE PRESENCE / MULTI-THREADING ACCOUNTS / HANDLING THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS / SOCIAL SELLING]. Include: the concept and why it matters (5 minutes of content), a worked example showing good vs. poor execution, a practice exercise reps complete in pairs, a debrief discussion question, and a one-page reference card. Format so a manager can run it in a team meeting.

Build an objection response library for [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. For each of these common objections, write 2 response options (one more direct, one softer): price too high, already have a solution, not a priority right now, need to involve more stakeholders, send us a proposal first, we will revisit next quarter, our legal team needs to review everything, and the economy is uncertain. Note which version works better in [ENTERPRISE / MID-MARKET / SMB] contexts.
