Keep only real mobile numbers

What it does: Keeps only the rows marked mobile and counts the landline and internet numbers it drops.

Use it when: Your call list is full of landlines and dead numbers.

You get: The mobile share, your dial count, and a clean list with the same columns.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my data checker.

Goal: keep only real mobile numbers on my call list. Dead numbers burn my best calling hours.
My Trestle results: [paste or upload the export]

Do this:
1. Keep only numbers that came back as mobile.
2. Count how many were landline, fixed internet and other internet numbers.
3. Keep the rest of each row the same.
4. Tell me what share of the list was mobile, and how many dials that leaves me.

Rules:
- Keep only line type Mobile. Ignore the activity score. It is not a cut.
- Never move an office number into the mobile column, and never call an office number a mobile.
- Count only what is in the results. Never round or guess a number.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

Give me the counts first, then the clean list with the same columns.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Keep Real Mobiles' so you do it this way each time I ask.

What I noticed when I listened: [one line]

Do this:
1. Tell me who talked more, me or them, and about how much. They should talk more than half the time.
2. Find each question I asked. Did I wait for the answer, or talk over it? Did I ask a follow up when the answer was vague?

4. Find the moment the call turned, good or bad. Quote the line.
5. Did I ask for a meeting with real times? Quote it, or say I didn't.
6. Give me ONE thing to change tomorrow, and the words to say instead.

Rules:
- Only use what's in the transcript. Quote it.
- Be direct. Only praise what earned it.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.

Plan tomorrow's call block from today's calls

What it does: Reads today's calls in Trellus, finds your best hour and who to call back, and plans tomorrow's call block.

Use it when: You dial every day but plan the next day by gut.

You get: Today's numbers, the hour with the most pickups, a callback list, and a 2 hour plan for tomorrow.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my call block planner, a sales manager who has run phone teams for years. You are a pro at this.

Goal: today's numbers and tomorrow's 2 hour block, so I can dial at my best hour and miss no callback.
Context: my job is calling. My buyers pick up at some hours more than others, and they want a callback at the time they asked for.

First, check that you can open my Trellus calls from today. Tell me how many calls you found. If you can't open it, stop and tell me to connect it (Claude: Customize, then Connectors. ChatGPT: Settings, then Plugins), or ask me to paste it instead.

Read only.
1. Read my calls from today: time, who, how long, and the outcome I picked.
2. Give me today's numbers: dials, pickups, talks over 60 seconds, meetings booked.
3. Group pickups by hour. Name the best hour and the worst hour.
4. List callbacks: anyone who said call me later, gave a time, or picked up and got cut off. Name, phone, what they said, when.
5. Plan tomorrow: one 2 hour block in my best hour. Callbacks first, then [list or view name. Default: my newest leads] in order.

Give me 3 short tables: today's numbers, pickups by hour, and tomorrow's plan. Keep it under 30 lines.

Rules:
- My time zone: [time zone]. Their time zone matters for callbacks. Never plan a call before 8am or after 6pm their time.
- If a callback's time zone is unknown, do not schedule a callback time. Write [check: time zone missing] and ask me for approval before adding it to the plan.
- If a callback's requested time conflicts with the best-hour block, keep the callback at the requested time. Do not move it to the block edge.
- Only use calls from my account.
- Under 10 calls today? Say the hour pattern is too thin to trust.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot, say so, and keep going.
- Drafts only. Ask me before you send, post, save to a tool or change anything.

No connector? Paste instead: today's call log with time, name, phone, length and outcome.

Before you show me, check:
- Check that dials, pickups and talks add up from the call list.
- Make sure every callback in the plan is inside 8am to 6pm their time.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Plan My Call Block' so you do it this way each time I plan my next call block.
To run it again, just say: "Run my Plan My Call Block skill."

Clean your phone list before you dial

What it does: Reads your Trestle results and sorts every number into call, check or cut, by line type and activity score.

Use it when: Half your dials ring a dead line or a front desk.

You get: Three lists (call, check, cut) with a count for each and a reason on every cut.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my list cleaner, a data pro who preps call lists for phone teams.

Goal: one list split into CALL, CHECK and CUT, so I can dial only numbers that pick up.
Context: my business dials lists every day. Bad numbers waste hours, and the people on the list want calls only on real lines.

First, check that you can read the Trestle results file I uploaded. Trestle has no connector, so export it as a CSV first. Tell me how many rows you found. If there's no file, stop and ask me to paste the CSV instead.

Sort every row:
- CALL: a mobile with an activity score over 30.
- CHECK: a landline or internet phone line with a score over 30. These may be a front desk. Call them last.
- CUT: a score of 30 or less, or a number Trestle says is not valid.

Give me:
1. Counts for each group, and the share of the list each one is.
2. The CALL list, sorted by score, high to low: name, company, phone, line type, score.
3. The CHECK list the same way.
4. The CUT list with the reason for each row.

Give me each list as a table. Keep the reasons under 8 words each.

Rules:
- The score checks the line, not the person. Say this once at the top.
- Line type decides the group first. A mobile over 30 goes in CALL. A landline or internet line over 30 goes in CHECK, even if its score is high. The score only sets the order inside a group.
- If one person has 2 numbers, sort each number by the rules above. Then mark the one in CHECK as "second number". If both are in the same group, mark the lower score.
- If a row has no score, put it in CHECK and say "no score".
- Every row goes in exactly one group. The 3 counts must add up to the rows I pasted. Check that before you answer.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot, say so, and keep going.
- Do not send, post, or change anything without my yes.

Before you show me, check:
- Check that CALL plus CHECK plus CUT equals the rows in the file.
- Make sure every landline or internet line is in CHECK or CUT, never in CALL.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Clean My Phone List' so you do it this way each time I clean a list before dialing.
To run it again, just say: "Run my Clean My Phone List skill."

Find out which numbers really pick up

What it does: Joins your Trestle scores with your call results, so you learn what score is worth dialing on your own lists.

Use it when: You pay to check numbers but don't know if the score helps you.

You get: A table of pickups by score band, the cut-off that works on your list, and how many dials it would save.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my numbers checker, a dialer analyst who has studied pickup rates for years. You are a pro at this.

Goal: a table of pickup rate by Trestle score band, so I know which numbers are worth my time.
Context: my business pays for phone checks. I want to know if the score is worth it on my own list.

First, check that you can read my Trestle file and open my call log in my CRM or dialer. Tell me how many rows each has. If you can't open the call log, stop and tell me to connect it (Claude: Customize, then Connectors. ChatGPT: Settings, then Plugins), or ask me to paste both files instead.

Trestle has no connector, so export its results as a file and upload it.

File 1, my Trestle results: phone, line type, activity score.
File 2, my call log for the same numbers: phone, number of dials, picked up yes or no, talked over 60 seconds yes or no.

If I don't say, use the last 90 days of calls.

Do this:
1. Match the files by phone number. Say how many matched and how many didn't.
2. Put the matched numbers in score bands: 0 to 30, 31 to 50, 51 to 70, 71 to 90, 91 to 100.
3. For each band: numbers, dials, pickups, pickup rate (pickups divided by dials), talks over 60 seconds.
4. Do the same split for mobile, landline and internet line.
5. Tell me the lowest band still worth dialing on my list, and how many dials I'd have saved by cutting below it. If a band has under 30 numbers, still give the band's numbers, but mark the cut-off as [check: too few numbers in this band to judge] and say what more data would settle it.

Rules:
- Show your math in the table so I can check it.
- This is my list and my time. Don't call it a rule for every list.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot, say so, and keep going.
- Don't send, post or change anything without my yes.

Before you show me, check:
- Check that matched plus unmatched equals the numbers in each file.
- Make sure every pickup rate in the table is pickups divided by dials.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Check My Pickup Scores' so you do it this way each time I compare phone scores with my calls.
To run it again, just say: "Run my Check My Pickup Scores skill."

Say why you called in 30 seconds

What it does: Writes the 2 sentences you say right after they say 'yes, that's me', so they stay on the line.

Use it when: Your calls die right after hello.

You get: A 30-second opener in your words, plus 3 ways to say it.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my cold call coach. Write what I say right after the person picks up and says "yes, that's me", so they stay on the line.

About me and what I sell:
- My name and company: [name, company]
- Who I'm calling: [their name, job title and company]
- The problem we fix, in the words they would use: [the problem]
- What we do about it, in one plain line: [what we do]
- One true thing I can say to prove it: [a customer result or a fact about us, or leave blank]
- Why I'm calling them today, if I know: [a reason, like a job post or a new office, or leave blank]
- What I want from this call: [for example, a 15-minute meeting this week]

Write:
1. My 30-second opener, 60 to 75 words out loud. Count the words and cut to fit. Say who I am. Then the reason I'm calling them today, if I gave one. Then the problem, as something people in their job run into. Then what we do about it. Then one short question that asks if that problem is real for them. Stop after the question.
2. 3 other ways to say the same opener: one more casual, one shorter (under 40 words), and one that starts with the proof line (only if I gave one).
3. What I say next:
   - If they say "yes, that happens": one question about what it costs them today, then my ask for [what I want from this call].
   - If they say "not really": one kind line that ends the call. No chasing.

Rules:
- Write it the way people talk. Short sentences. 5th-grade words.
- Talk about their problem, not about how great we are.
- Use only what I gave you. Never make up a customer, a number or a result. No "most" or "a lot of" unless I said it.
- Write one script, for the one person I'm calling.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.
- No dashes and no semicolons, so it's easy to read out loud.

Last, save these steps as a skill called '30 Second Pitch' so you do it this way each time I write a pitch for a new kind of buyer.

Write a cold call opener for your offer

What it does: Writes 2 openers you can say out loud, in order, using the real details you give it.

Use it when: You freeze up right after they say hello.

You get: Two openers, a line for a wrong person, and 3 replies with your next line.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my cold calling coach. Write the first 20 seconds of my cold call.

First, look the person up in my CRM. Use their real name, title, company and any past notes. Fill in what you find below, and only ask me for what's missing.

Who I'm calling: [job title] at [type of company]
Their first name and company: [first name], [company]
Why I'm calling them now: [one real reason, like a job post or a new location, with the link]
What I do, in one plain line: [what you do]
A customer like them I'm allowed to name: [name, title and company, or leave blank]
My name and company: [your name], [your company]

Write 2 openers I can say out loud. Each one goes in this order, with no pause before the reason:
1. Get their attention with their name and confirm the person: "Hey [first name], it's [my name]. You're the [title] at [company], right?" Say the title the way people talk. Then stop and let them answer.
2. Say who I'm with and what we do in one line. If I gave a customer like them, say "We work with [name], [title] over at [company]."
3. Give the reason I called them today, starting with "The reason I'm calling is". Say it like a fact, then check it.
4. Add a "because" that ties the reason to their day, in their words, not mine.
5. Ask if they're the person who'd handle that. Then stop talking.

Read each opener back and cut any line that's about me and not them.
Then write my line for when they say it's not them, so I leave with a name.
Then give me 3 things they might say back, with my next line for each. For each one, agree first, then ask again.

Rules:
Never ask if it's a good time. Never ask "how are you". Never ask for 30 seconds or for permission to pitch.
Never use the past tense of "see".
Say their company name once. Shorten long names to the word people use.
Use 5th grade words and short sentences. No dashes or semicolons.
Never make up a fact, a customer or a number. If something is missing, leave a [blank].

Answer a no without pushing

What it does: Writes your next lines after someone says not interested, so you stay calm and kind.

Use it when: They say not interested and you freeze.

You get: Five short replies, one for each kind of no, plus a polite goodbye.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my cold calling coach. You care more about being honest than winning the call.

What I sell: [one line]
My name and company: [my name] at [my company]
Who I called: [job title] at a [type of company]
When they said it: [right away, before I explained anything / after I explained what we do]
What they said: [their words]

A "no" is where people feel safe. Don't fight it. Use it.
Write what I say next.
1. One short, friendly line that accepts it. Then one question they can say no to, like "Is it a bad idea to tell you in one line why I called?"
2. The 3 kinds of answers I'll likely get: wrong person, bad timing or a real no. Give me one short reply for each. Start each with a label like "Sounds like..." that names what they seem to feel. For bad timing, ask when to check back and do not name a date or month.
3. If they said it before I explained anything, one sentence that says what we do, so they can say no to the real thing. Use only the facts in "What I sell" and the name and company I gave you.
4. One line that asks if they know someone else who might need it. Just a name.
5. If they ask me not to call again: what I say, and what I do right after the call.

Rules:
- Use only what is in my data. Every script line must use only the facts in "What I sell." Do not add claims I did not give you, like "no lock-in."
- Any made-up name, company, or callback date is a failure. Use only the name and company I gave you, and only a check-back time they agree to.
- One try only. If it's still a no, I thank them and hang up.
- Each line under 20 words. No guilt and no pressure.
- Never argue with their reason. Never push for a fake "yes".

Give me the 5 parts, numbered.

3. Put the rest in tiers, using job title, company size and anything in the list that hints at my problems:
   A = many signs of my problems, and they look big for them
   B = one or two signs, and they look big
   C = signs, but they look small
   D = no signs. Leave these for last.
4. Give me a table: tier, name, title, company, phone, why they fit (one short line naming the problem).

Rules:

4. Answers to the 6 questions people ask most about my business.

You are my sales helper. Find the people who already know my business: past customers, customers who stopped buying, and deals that never closed.

What I sell: [one line]
My name and company: [name, company]

Read them in my CRM: name, company, what they bought or almost bought, date of the last purchase or deal, date we last talked, owner on my team and the notes.

Do 4 things:
1. Rank everyone by who to call first. Put these near the top: people who bought more than once, people who stopped buying in the last year, and deals that stalled for a reason that may be fixed now. Leave out anyone who asked us not to contact them.
2. For each person, write one line of context from my notes, like "Last spoke in March about a spring order." Use only what's in my CRM.
3. For the top 10, write an opener I can say in 15 seconds. It says who I am, reminds them how we know each other, and ends with one easy question. If they don't need anything now, add one line that asks who they know who might.
4. Make a short "Check before you call" list. Flag anyone with no contact date or none in the last 12 months, any person or company that shows up more than once, and anyone the notes say another teammate is working or owns.

Give me a table with these columns: rank, name, company, owner, why call now, the one line of context, the opener. Then give me the "Check before you call" list.

Rules:
- Never make up a fact, date, number or name. If the notes don't say, write "no notes".
- Use short, simple words a 5th grader knows.
- Sound like a person, not a script.
- Never say "saw" in any form.

1. Answer like a real, busy person. Keep your answers short.
2. Each round, give me one real no. Mix the kinds: a quick reflex ("not interested"), a brush-off ("just send me an email") and a real reason ("we already have someone").
3. If I argue or sound like a script, get a little colder. If I stay calm, agree with you, ask a good question and wait, open up a little.
4. Stop after 3 rounds.

Then score me from 1 to 5 on each:
- Did I check I had the right person?
- Did I sound like a person, not a script?
- Did I ask a question and then wait?
- Did I handle the no without arguing, and then ask again?
- Did I ask for a meeting with 2 real times?

Then give me the ONE thing to fix before my first real call, with the words to say instead.

Rules:
- Stay in character until round 3 ends.
- Play a made-up buyer, but never make up facts about me or my company.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Practice Call' so you do it this way each time I ask.

Know the company before you call

What it does: Reads their site, news, and your CRM, then gives you facts, a problem chart, a verdict, and an opener.

Use it when: You have a call soon and know little about them.

You get: A short brief with dated facts, a guess at their problems, and one opener line.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my research assistant. You can read web pages and my CRM.

The company: [website]
The person I'll talk to: [name and job title]
What I sell: [one line]
Who buys from me: [the kind of company and person]
The problems I fix: [2 or 3 problems, in plain words]

Do this:
1. Look them up in my CRM first. Note any past calls, emails or notes, with dates.
2. Read their home page, about page, careers or jobs page, and news or blog page. Then look up news about them from the last 6 months.
3. FACTS: what they do, where, about how big, and anything new. Give each fact its source and a date. Only keep facts that touch the problems I fix.
4. PROBLEM CHART: for each problem I fix, a short table row. Does this company likely have it? What would it cost them (time, money, people)? What might cause it here? Mark every row as a guess and tie it to a fact.
5. VERDICT: BUYER, PEER (they sell something like what I sell) or SKIP. One line on why. If no problem on the chart has a real cost, pick SKIP. If you're stuck between BUYER and anything else, pick the other one.
6. OPENER: one line I can say on the call, built on one fact with a date. If we talked before, build on that instead. Say it as a plain fact about them. Don't start with what you read or noticed.
7. QUESTIONS: 2 questions about the top problem on the chart. One asks how it works today. One asks what it costs them.

Rules:
- Read only. Don't change my CRM, sign in, fill in a form, click buy or send anything.
- A job post only shows the date they posted it. It doesn't prove the job is still open. Say the date.
- Never make anything up. If a page won't load or a fact isn't there, say so.
- Plain words. No em dashes or semicolons.

You are my cold calling coach. They're open to a meeting. Help me book it before we hang up.

Who they'd meet: [name and role, me or someone on my team]
How long: [10 to 15 minutes]
Their time zone: [their time zone]

First, read my calendar for the next 10 work days. Find two real open times that fit how long the meeting is. Pick one soon and one a day or two later.
What the meeting covers: [one line]
My booking link: [link]

Write:
1. The ask. Say it like I expect a yes, not like I'm hoping. Do not use the prospect's name unless they gave it to you. Name who they'd meet, how long, what they get out of it in their words, and the two open times from my calendar. One question. Then I stop talking.
2. If they say yes: get their email, send the invite while they're on the phone, and check it came through.
3. A reply of one or two lines for each of these: "This week is bad." "Just send me an email." "I need to ask my boss." "What does it cost?" Each reply agrees with them first, then asks for a time again. For "This week is bad," offer two real times from next week.
4. If it's a no after two tries: one line that asks who else would be better, so I leave with a name. Then thank them and move on.

Rules:
Always offer two real times from my calendar. Never book over something already there. Never ask "when are you free?" Never ask "would this be a good time?"
Say the times in THEIR time zone.
For "send me an email", ask what they'd want in it, then still ask for a time.
For "ask my boss", ask what the boss will want to know, and offer to have the boss join.

1. Write one short line that agrees their setup is fine. No defending and no pitching.
2. Write 3 curious questions that start with "how" or "what" about how their setup works today. Pick questions they can't answer with "we're covered," like "How does that work after the first call?" or "What happens when someone is out?" Never "why".

Rules:
- If they said next quarter, pick a day in the first full week of next quarter.
- Never make up what they said. If my CRM has little on them, say so.

CALL FIRST
1. People who wrote back. They called, emailed or texted me in the last 3 days, and nobody on my side has answered since.
2. Tasks due today or late that are assigned to me.
3. Meetings today and tomorrow where the lead hasn't said yes to the invite.

What it does: Searches X for posts by one person and their company from the last 30 days, then gives you one true reason to call.

Use it when: You call someone tomorrow and know nothing new about them.

You get: Up to 5 recent posts with dates and links, one opener line, or a plain note that nothing was found.

You are my call prep helper, a senior prospector who researches every call before dialing.

Goal: up to 5 recent posts and one opener, so I can open the call with something they care about.
Context: my business sells by phone. Buyers want a caller who knows what they care about.

First, check that you can open and search X. Tell me how many posts you found from them. If you can't, stop and tell me, or ask me to paste them instead.

Who I'm calling: [full name], [job title] at [company]. Their X handle if I know it: [handle or blank]
What I sell, in one line: [what you sell]

If I don't give a handle, search X for their name and company. If I don't say what I sell, use the last thing I told you. If I don't say who I'm calling, ask me for the name and company, then run.

Do this:
1. Find their X account. Only use it if the name, job and company match. If you aren't sure, say so and stop.
2. Read their posts and replies from the last 30 days, then the company's posts from the last 30 days.
3. Pick up to 5 that tell me what they care about right now. For each: the date, the link, and one line on what it says.
4. Pick the one that fits what I sell best and write one opener I can say on the phone, under 25 words. It names the post and asks one question.

Rules:
- No post in 30 days? Say "Nothing new on X" and give me no opener. Never stretch an old post.
- Quote at most 10 words from any post.
- Skip anything personal: family, health, politics.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.
- Show me the posts and the opener first. Do not send or post anything until I say yes.

Before you show me, check:
- Check that every post is from the last 30 days and has a date and link.
- Make sure the opener is under 25 words and quotes at most 10 words.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Check X Before I Call' so you do it this way each time I prep a call. 
To run it again, just say: "Run my Check X Before I Call skill."

Set up an AI that answers calls after hours

What it does: Writes everything an ElevenLabs voice agent needs: the opening, how it talks, what it knows, and when it hands off to you.

Use it when: Calls after 5pm go to voicemail and the leads go cold.

You get: A first message, a short system prompt, a fact sheet for what it knows, and hand-off rules, ready to paste.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my voice agent writer, a call center trainer who has written scripts for after-hours lines for years. You are a pro at this.

Goal: 4 parts I can paste into my ElevenLabs agent, so I can turn it on tonight.
Context: my business misses calls after hours. Callers who get no answer call someone else, so they need a fast, kind answer.

First, check that you can read the business details I gave you. Tell me what you found. If it's missing, stop and ask me to paste it instead.

My business: [name, what you do, where]
Hours: [your hours]
What callers usually want: [the top 3 reasons people call]
What the agent can book or take: [for example: a callback time, a quote request, a booking link]
When it must hand off to a person: [for example: an emergency, an angry caller]
Facts it can use (prices, areas, hours): [paste them]

No connector? Paste your business details here instead.

If I don't say, use these defaults:
- Hours: 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
- What callers want: ask about hours, ask about price, book a time.
- What it can book: a callback time.
- Hand off: if the caller is upset or asks for a person.
- Facts: only what I give you.

Ask me up to 3 questions if something is still unclear. Then write 4 parts I can paste into the agent:
1. FIRST MESSAGE. Under 20 words. It says the business name, that it's the after-hours line, and asks how it can help.
2. SYSTEM PROMPT. Under 250 words. Who it is, how it talks (short, warm, one question at a time), what it gets from every caller (name, phone, reason, best time to call back), and how it ends the call. First ask if it's an emergency. If yes, follow the hand-off rules right away. Then use these SPIN steps in order: ask what is going on now (situation), then ask what they have tried (problem), then ask what happens if this is not fixed (what is at stake), then ask what a good fix looks like (need). If the caller pushes for a price, say: "I can't give a price on this call. I can take your details and have someone call you back with a price." Then get their details.
3. WHAT IT KNOWS. Only the facts I gave you, as short lines. Nothing else.
4. HAND-OFF RULES. A list: when this happens, do that. The first rule is always: if a caller says there is danger (a gas smell, a fire, someone hurt), the agent tells them to hang up and call 911 or their local emergency number now, then ends the call. Include what it says when it doesn't know.

Rules:
- The agent must say it is an AI if anyone asks.
- It never promises a price, a time or a fix that isn't in the facts.
- It asks before it texts or emails anyone.
- It never sends, posts or changes anything without my yes.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot, say so, and keep going.

Before you show me, check:
- Check that the agent asks about emergencies before any other question, and the danger rule is the first hand-off rule.
- Make sure every fact in WHAT IT KNOWS came from me, and the first message is under 20 words (count them).

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'After Hours Voice Agent' so you do it this way each time I set up or change my voice agent.
To run it again, just say: "Run my After Hours Voice Agent skill."

Built on SPIN Selling's rule that situation questions alone don't win calls.

Find the best short moments in your recorded calls

What it does: Reads your call transcripts, picks up to 6 short moments that stand on their own, and lists every private detail to bleep, with times.

Use it when: You record calls and want short videos, but listening back takes hours.

You get: Up to 6 clips with start and end times, a hook line, the words to search for in Descript, and a bleep list.

Open in
See the prompt
You are my video editor. You can read my call transcripts.

Which calls: [for example: my calls over 60 seconds from last week]
Where the clips go: [TikTok, Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn]

1. Read the transcripts. Tell me how many calls you read.
2. Pick up to 6 moments, 20 to 60 seconds each, that make sense alone: a hang-up, a hard no and how I handled it, a funny line, a good save.
3. For each: the call, start and end time, the first line (the hook), the first 6 words to search for in Descript, and one line on why it works.
4. For each clip, list every private detail said out loud with its time: first names, company names, phone numbers, emails, street names. These must be bleeped or cut.
5. Rank the clips, best first.

Rules:
- Never pick a moment where the other person can still be known after the bleeps.
- Never cut in the middle of a word or a thought.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Find Call Clips' so you do it this way each time I want clips from my calls.

Connect first: your CRM. The steps for each AI are on one page. Then the prompt reads it for you. It ends by saving itself as a skill.

You are my music helper. I'll make on-hold music in Suno.

My business: [what you do]
How I want callers to feel: [for example: calm, cared for, not rushed]
Music to avoid: [for example: anything with words, anything sad]

1. A style line for Suno, under 120 characters: the genre, the speed in BPM, 2 or 3 instruments and the mood.
2. 3 different versions of the style line, each a little different (slower, brighter, warmer).
3. A title for each.
4. A check list for picking one: it sounds fine through a phone speaker (no deep bass, no loud drums), it has no big changes that sound like the call dropped, it can loop without a jump.

Rules:
- Instrumental only. No words.
- Don't name real artists or songs in the style line.
- Remind me: to use it for my business, I need a Suno plan that allows commercial use. Check Suno's current terms.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.
