Sales Development Prompts

"Create a [number]-day, multi-channel outreach sequence for a Sales Development Representative targeting [ideal prospect title, e.g., VP of Marketing] at [target company size/industry, e.g., mid-size SaaS companies]. The goal is to book a discovery call for our [product/service description]. The sequence should include a mix of: - Personalized LinkedIn connection requests and messages - Value-driven cold emails (with variations for follow-ups) - Cold call script snippets/talking points - Optional touchpoints (e.g., engaging with content, company news mention) Specify the timing/day for each touchpoint and provide template text for each step, emphasizing personalization hooks based on prospect research (e.g., recent activity, company initiatives)."

"Write a cold email template for an SDR targeting [ideal prospect title]. The email should: 1. Start with a highly personalized opening line referencing [specific trigger event, e.g., recent company funding, new job role, relevant article/post]. 2. Clearly state the observed challenge or common pain point for roles like theirs in the [target industry], such as [specific pain point 1] or [specific pain point 2]. 3. Briefly introduce our [product/service] as a potential solution, focusing on the key outcome or benefit related to the pain point (e.g., 'helps teams like yours achieve X by doing Y'). 4. Include a low-friction call-to-action, such as asking for interest in a short call or sharing a relevant resource (e.g., 'Worth a brief chat next week?', 'Open to seeing a quick case study?'). 5. Keep the email concise (under 150 words) and mobile-friendly. Provide 3 distinct subject line options optimized for open rates."

"As an SDR trying to book a meeting for [product/service], provide concise and effective responses to the following common objections encountered during cold calls or email replies: 1. 'Just send me an email.' (When on a call) 2. 'We're not interested right now.' 3. 'We already use a competitor ([Competitor Name]).' 4. 'I'm not the right person.' 5. 'We don't have the budget.' 6. 'I'm too busy / Call me back next quarter.' For each objection, provide 1-2 response options that aim to acknowledge the objection, pivot back to value, and attempt to secure the next step (e.g., confirm right contact, book a brief future call, understand current solution better)."

"Develop a list of 5-7 essential qualification questions for an SDR to ask during an initial call before booking a meeting with an Account Executive. The goal is to quickly assess basic fit for [product/service]. The questions should cover simplified elements inspired by BANT or MEDDPICC, focusing on: - **Need/Pain:** Uncovering a relevant challenge or goal. - **Authority:** Identifying if they are involved in the decision-making process or can point to the right person. - **Timeline:** Getting a rough sense of urgency or project timelines. - **Current Solution (Implicit):** Understanding what, if anything, they use now. Frame the questions to be conversational and non-interrogative. For example: 'What are your team's main priorities around [relevant area] this year?' or 'How are you currently handling [process related to your product]?'"
