3 ChatGPT Prompts That Book Calls
3 Prompts Every Salesperson Needs in Their Inbox This Week
I’ll be honest—most sales emails sound like they were written by a committee or a robot. Ironically, the solution is a robot—but one that actually gets how humans think.
Last month, I ran a mini experiment: I rewrote my entire outbound sequence using just 3 AI prompts. Cold leads started replying. A few asked to book directly. One even said, “Best cold email I’ve ever gotten.”
It wasn’t magic. It was specificity. The right prompt can unlock what most reps spend hours trying to nail—clarity, relevance, and tone.
Here are the 3 prompts I now keep pinned in my inbox—and why every seller should try them:
1. The “Clarity First” Cold Email Prompt
The Problem: Most outreach gets deleted before the scroll. It’s too long, too vague, or sounds too automated.
The Fix: Lead with clarity. Nail the problem in line one, and make the ask friction-free.
Prompt:
“Write a 3-sentence cold email to a [job title] at a [type of company] who likely struggles with [problem]. Use a clear tone, mention one relevant win, and end with a simple yes/no question. Skip intros—just start.”
Example Output:
Subject: Free up 10 hours this week?
Many solo founders spend hours building decks manually. I used AI to cut that time in half for a client last week. Worth a 15-min call to show you how?
Use this for: new prospecting lists, Upwork intros, or cold DMs.
2. The “Deal Reheat” Follow-Up Prompt
The Problem: Warm leads ghost. Not because they’re not interested—but because your last email wasn’t memorable.
The Fix: Bring back relevance and urgency. AI can help you stitch context into a fast follow-up.
Prompt:
“Write a follow-up email to someone who asked for info about [offer] last week. Make it friendly, brief, and include one relevant result from a similar client. End with a light CTA. Assume they’re busy.”
Example Output:
Just following up on our chat about the $49 AI course. One freelancer said it helped him win back 8 hours his first week. Want me to resend the details?
Use this for: deals gone cold, webinar no-shows, ghosted proposals.
3. The “Client Testimonial Booster” Prompt
The Problem: You’ve got wins. But you’re not leveraging them.
The Fix: Let AI reframe your results as proof—and make it easy to share in messages or LinkedIn posts.
Prompt:
“Turn this client quote into a 2-sentence outreach hook that builds credibility: ‘I saved 5 hours/week and finally felt in control of my pipeline.’ Add a soft CTA to learn more.”
Example Output:
“One sales rep told me, ‘I saved 5 hours/week and finally felt in control of my pipeline.’ If you’re curious how, I’d be happy to share the framework.”
Use this for: social DMs, proposal intros, case study cold opens.

They’re short. Specific. Outcome-driven.
They’re designed for the Ambitious Independent who doesn’t have time to write a novel—or read one.
