For Sales reps and founders doing outbound

AI prompts for Sales

Cold outreach, follow-ups, discovery prep and proposal copy — prompts written for reps, not LinkedIn gurus.

What this collection does

Most 'sales AI prompts' generate emails that sound like a robot pretending to be human. Ours don't. They're written by people who've actually run outbound: short, specific, anchored in a clear trigger event, and never starting with 'I hope this email finds you well'. Use them for first-touch cold emails, follow-up cadences, discovery-call prep, and proposal sections. They expect you to bring the prospect research; the prompt handles the writing.

What you can ship in an hour

  • Personalized cold emails grounded in a trigger event
  • Multi-touch follow-up cadences (5-7 sends)
  • Discovery-call prep notes from a prospect's website
  • Proposal sections with clear scope and pricing rationale

Free starter prompts

Copy-and-paste starters for the most common sales jobs. No signup needed.

Cold email from a trigger

You are a senior B2B sales rep. The prospect is [NAME, TITLE at COMPANY]. The trigger is: [TRIGGER]. Write a 4-sentence cold email. No platitudes. Lead with the trigger, tie it to a specific problem we solve, give one proof point (1 number max), and end with a single low-friction ask. No subject-line clichés.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best AI prompts for sales?+

The best prompts for sales give the model a clear role, the audience, the constraint, and the exact output format. Our Sales pack is structured that way — every prompt is a fill-in-the-blank you can paste into ChatGPT or Claude and get a usable first draft in under a minute.

Which AI model should sales use?+

For most sales workflows, ChatGPT is a strong default. Reach for Claude when you need long-context analysis or a more thoughtful, structured answer. Both work with the prompts in this collection — the scaffolds are model-agnostic.

Are these prompts free to use?+

Yes. The starter prompts on this page are free to copy, remix and use commercially. The deeper packs — with model-specific variants and 30–60 prompts per pack — unlock with a Pro plan.

How do I customize a prompt for my own workflow?+

Replace the bracketed placeholders with your specifics — audience, product, constraint. Keep the role and format instructions; that's what makes the output usable. If a prompt returns something generic, add one concrete example of a good answer and rerun.

Can I use these prompts in ChatGPT for free?+

Yes. Every starter here runs on the free tier of ChatGPT. Paid tiers give better reasoning and longer context, but the prompts themselves don't require a paid plan.
