50 ChatGPT Prompts for Sales Teams and Account Executives
Published May 2025 · By Promptonova Editorial Team
Top-performing sales teams use AI to personalise outreach at scale, prepare better for every call and write proposals that consistently win business. These 50 prompts cover the full B2B sales cycle — from cold outreach through to deal close and expansion.
Cold Outreach and Prospecting
Act as a top-performing B2B sales professional selling [product/service] to [target industry]. Write a cold email to [target role] at a [company size] company. Research hook: '[specific insight about their business]'. Under 100 words, reference their specific context in line 1, state one business problem we solve without pitching, show one piece of social proof relevant to their industry, and end with a question (not 'can I have 15 minutes').
You are a LinkedIn sales expert. Write a personalised LinkedIn connection request and follow-up sequence for a prospect at [company type] in [industry]. Connection request (under 300 chars): personalised, not pitchy. Message 1 (after acceptance, 24 hours): warm value-add with no ask. Message 2 (4 days later): light qualification question. Message 3 (7 days later): clear, respectful ask. Build genuine curiosity, don't feel like spam.
Discovery and Qualification
Act as a sales methodology expert. I have a discovery call tomorrow with [prospect description] at [company type]. What they've told me so far: [brief context]. Design my discovery call plan: opening that builds credibility fast (30 seconds), the 8 most important questions to understand their situation, how to uncover budget and decision-making process, questions that quantify the cost of their current problem, and how to end the call with clear next steps agreed.
Proposals and Presentations
You are a proposal writing expert who wins 60%+ of competitive bids. Write a proposal executive summary for [product/service] being sold to [client type]. The client's key problems: [describe]. Our solution: [describe]. Investment: [£/$X]. The executive summary must: start with the client's business outcome (not our product), show we understand their specific situation, quantify the value we deliver, address their biggest risk in buying, and create urgency to decide. Under 300 words. Written for the economic buyer who didn't attend our demo.
Objection Handling and Closing
Act as a seasoned sales coach specialising in complex B2B sales. My prospect has said: '[specific objection — e.g. Your price is 30% higher than the competitor].' Write 3 responses that: acknowledge the concern genuinely, reframe the comparison to our value (not just price), use a specific proof point or ROI calculation, and move toward a closing question. Range from collaborative to more assertive. I want to keep the deal alive without discounting.
