Sales reps spend more time writing than selling — cold emails, follow-ups, objection responses, call prep, deal summaries. Most of that writing follows predictable patterns, which makes it perfect for AI.
ChatGPT can handle all of it in seconds. These 10 prompts are built for SDRs, AEs, and anyone who needs to book meetings or close deals.
Copy them into ChatGPT, fill in the brackets, and get something usable in under a minute.
Cold Outreach & Prospecting
The hardest part of outreach is starting from a blank page. These four prompts cover the full top-of-funnel sequence — from initial cold email to subject lines that get opens.
1. Cold Email Writer
The Prompt
Write a concise cold email to [Name], [Title] at [Company]. They work in [industry] and likely struggle with [pain point]. The email should be 3-4 sentences, no buzzwords, and end with a low-friction ask for a 15-minute call.
Why it works: Short, specific, no buzzwords — this format consistently outperforms longer emails. The low-friction close (15 minutes) reduces the perceived cost of saying yes.
2. LinkedIn Connection Message
The Prompt
Write a 200-character LinkedIn connection request to [Name] at [Company]. I [brief context: we share a mutual connection / I saw your post about X / we both attended X]. Be warm, not salesy.
Why it works: LinkedIn limits connection requests to 300 characters. This prompt keeps it short, personal, and non-transactional — the formula that actually gets accepted.
3. Prospecting Research Brief
The Prompt
I'm about to cold-call [Name] at [Company]. Give me 5 talking points I can use in the first 30 seconds: what they likely care about, a relevant pain point for [industry], and a reason to stay on the call.
Why it works: The first 30 seconds determine whether you get a conversation or a hangup. This brief gives you relevance and hooks before you dial.
4. Subject Line Generator
The Prompt
Write 5 cold email subject lines for a message targeting [role] at [company type]. The product solves [one-line pain]. Lines should be under 8 words, conversational, no clickbait.
Why it works: Subject lines are the only thing that determines open rates. Getting 5 options in seconds lets you A/B test without spending an hour on copy.

Objections kill deals when reps don't have a ready response. These three prompts help you handle pricing pushback, reframe concerns, and navigate negotiations without giving away the deal.
5. Objection Response Writer
The Prompt
I'm in a sales conversation and the prospect said: '[paste their objection]'. Write a 2-3 sentence response that acknowledges their concern, reframes it, and keeps the deal moving. Tone: confident but not pushy.
Why it works: The best objection responses validate before reframing. This structure does both in 2-3 sentences — short enough to sound natural, complete enough to move things forward.
6. Pricing Pushback Handler
The Prompt
The prospect said our price is too high compared to [competitor]. Write a response that validates the comparison, highlights our differentiator ([key differentiator]), and suggests a next step (trial, pilot, or smaller scope).
Why it works: Price objections are rarely about price — they're about perceived value. This prompt keeps the conversation going instead of triggering a discount reflex.
7. Negotiation Position Summary
The Prompt
Summarize our negotiation position in a deal with [Company]. Our BATNA is [X]. Their stated concern is [Y]. Suggest 2-3 concessions we could offer that preserve deal value while moving them forward.
Why it works: Walking into a negotiation without a clear position is how deals fall apart. This prompt forces clarity on BATNA and surfaces creative concessions before the call.
Follow-Ups & Deal Progression
Most deals die in the follow-up phase — not because the prospect lost interest, but because the rep went quiet. These three prompts keep deals moving from first touch to closed.
8. Follow-Up After No Response
The Prompt
Write a follow-up email to [Name] who hasn't replied to my cold outreach in [X days]. Keep it under 3 sentences. Don't apologize for following up. Offer something new or a different angle.
Why it works: Apologetic follow-ups train prospects to ignore you. This prompt stays confident, adds something new, and stays short — the combination that actually gets replies.
9. Post-Demo Follow-Up
The Prompt
Write a follow-up email after a demo call with [Name] at [Company]. The call went well, they asked about [specific feature/concern], and the next step is [X]. Include a 2-sentence recap of what we discussed and a clear CTA.
Why it works: A personalized post-demo follow-up sent within an hour is one of the highest-leverage sales activities. This prompt makes it fast without making it generic.
10. Deal Summary for CRM
The Prompt
Summarize the current deal status for [Company] in 3 bullet points: (1) where we are in the sales cycle, (2) the key decision criteria they mentioned, (3) the agreed next step and timeline. Based on these notes: [paste notes].
Why it works: CRM hygiene is the first thing that slips when reps are busy. This prompt turns messy call notes into a clean deal summary in under 30 seconds.
