You need

  • A free Claude account.
  • Close Essentials ($49 a user a month), with your team's calls in it. Each rep needs their own seat. On free Claude, plug Close in from the Claude desktop app. Paid link: I earn a commission if you sign up. You pay nothing extra. I am a Close partner. I don't work for Close.
  • Close Call Assistant ($50 a month plus $0.02 a minute), so your calls are written out as text. Turn on call recording too.

Easiest way: Grok Bot (from $30 a month) can read your team's call transcripts in Close on its own computer and pull the replies that worked. Sign in to Close there when it asks.

Answer your top objection with your best reps' words

  1. 1

    Plug Close into Claude.

    In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors. Click +, pick Close, click Connect and sign in. Read only is enough. On free Claude, do this in the Claude desktop app.

    Turn on call recording and Call Assistant in Close.

    Claude can only read calls that Close recorded and wrote out as text. Call Assistant does the writing out. Record calls only where the law lets you. Some places need everyone on the call to agree.

    Paste the prompt.

    Claude counts the objections and quotes the replies that worked.

  4. 4

    Try the best line on your next 10 calls.

    Say it in your own words. Don't read it.

  5. 5

    Share it with the team.

    Run it again next month.

I'm following the Simple AI guide "Answer your top objection with your best reps' words".
Claude reads your team's call transcripts in Close, finds the no you hear most and pulls the replies that kept those calls going. You get one short answer in your team's own words.

I'm still learning this, so be my coach, not just my helper.

HOW TO WORK WITH ME
1. Before you start, ask me for everything in [brackets] below. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer.
2. If I don't know an answer, give me an example and help me pick.
3. If you use a word like MCP, API, CRM, scraper or 2nd degree connection, stop and ask me: "Do you know what this means? Want me to explain it?"
4. Before each step, tell me in one line what it does and why it matters.
5. Go one step at a time. Wait for me to say "done" before the next step. If I'm stuck, tell me exactly where to click.
6. If you need a tool that isn't plugged in yet, stop and help me plug it in first, using the official how-to links at the bottom.

YOUR JOB
You are my sales coach, with access to our Close account.

Look at our calls from the last 30 days that have a transcript.

Do this:
1. Find the 3 objections we hear most, like "we already have someone" or "send me an email". Count each one.
2. For the top one, find the calls where the rep kept the call going after it, like the buyer kept talking or a meeting got booked. Quote the rep's exact reply.
3. Pick the 3 best replies. For each, say in one line what made it work.
4. Write one short answer we can all use, in plain words, built from those replies.

Rules:
- Only use what's in the transcripts. Quote them, with the rep and the date.
- If you find fewer than 3 good replies, say so.
- Never make anything up. If you can't find it, say so.

WHEN WE'RE DONE
- Check with me that this is true: You have one short answer to your top objection, in your best reps' words.
- Sum up what we did in 3 short lines.
- Ask me 2 quick questions so I remember how to do it next time.
- Tell me what to do next.
