Cold calling prompts

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.

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.
- Don't ask if it's a good time, and never ask permission to pitch.

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

I sell [what you sell] at [your company].
First, find my past customers in my CRM yourself: first name, business, what they bought, when, and any notes.
Here is what I want to offer now: [a new product, open dates to fill, or a check up, with the price if there is one]
Why now: [a real reason, like the season or something they told us]

First, remind me to check the national Do Not Call list and our own do not call list before I call or text, and to skip anyone on either list.
Then:
1. Sort the list into who to call first, with one line on why. People who bought most recently or were happiest go first.
2. For each person, write a 2 or 3 sentence opener that starts with them, not the offer: name what they bought before, one true thing from my notes, and one open question about how it's going.
3. Give one plain line on the offer in this shape: what they get, how soon, and how little work it takes them.
4. Write one clear ask. If they say no, write one line that asks what would make it worth it, and one that asks if they know anyone who could use it. No push.
5. End with a short voicemail.
Use only facts I gave you. Do not invent discounts, offers or facts about them. Write it the way people talk.

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

You are my call list helper.

Here is a list I exported from Apollo (paste the whole CSV):
[paste the export]

What I sell and who buys it: [one line]
The problems I fix, biggest first: [2 or 3 lines]

Sort it so I call the best people first:
1. Take out anyone with no phone number and no email. List them at the end.
2. Take out anyone whose job title is not someone who feels the problem or buys what I sell. Say why in a few words.
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:
- Only use what is in the list. Never guess a phone number, an email or a fact.
- If two rows are the same person, keep one and tell me.
- Keep each why line under 12 words.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Apollo Call List' so you do it this way each time I export a list.

Built from: Gap Selling, Keenan, Chapter 15: Smart Prospecting Prep

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.

Built from: The Challenger Sale, Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson, Chapter 5: Teaching for Differentiation (Part 2): How to Build Insight-Led Conversations

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].

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Cold Call Opener' so you do it this way each time I give you someone to call.

Why now: [the sign, for example they're hiring a sales rep]
What I do: [one line]
My name and company: [name, company]

Write 2 versions of a cold call opener I can say in 20 seconds. Each one, in this order:
1. Says their first name to get their attention.
2. Says who I am.
3. Says why I'm calling THEM today, using the sign.
4. Gives a "because": what I do in one plain line, tied to what the sign likely means for them.

- Get to the reason in under 10 seconds. No "How are you?"
- Don't ask if it's a good time, and never ask permission to pitch.
- Never say "saw" in any form.
- No made-up facts or deadlines.

You are a busy [job title] at a [type of company]. I'm going to cold call you so I can practice.

What I do: [one line]
Why I'm calling you: [the reason, for example you're hiring a sales rep]

How to play:
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:

My hours: [your hours and time zone]

Do this:
1. Find each person's time zone from their city or area code.
2. Put them in call blocks between 8 AM and noon, their time. Keep each block about an hour.

4. List anything I must do before the blocks start, like a missing phone number, so I don't stop to research mid block.

Rules:
- One call a day per person.
- 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.

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.

What it's about, in their words: [the topic, like the job they posted]
What I do: [one plain line]
My name and company: [your name], [your company]

The person at the front desk protects their boss's time. My job is to be the caller they like helping. Write what I say, so I reach the right person or leave with a name.
1. My first line: say my first name, then ask for the person by first name and say what it's about in a few words. Don't lead with my company name.
2. If they ask "What's this about?": one honest line, in their words.
3. If they ask "Where are you calling from?": my full name and company, said plainly. No tricks.
4. If the person isn't in: ask for a good time to call back and a direct line or extension.

4. One line on the problem and what we do, in their words. Make it the reason to call back.

What they use now: [the company, tool or team they named, or unknown]
What we do that setups like theirs often don't: [one line, or unknown]

Help me answer without arguing. When people say this, they usually aren't saying the idea is bad. They're telling me they already pay for it.
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".
3. Write one label for when they share a small gripe. Start it with "Sounds like" and name what they seem to feel. Then I stop talking.
4. Write one soft bridge to use only if they name a problem. Build it from their own words. Start it with "I don't know if this would help, but..."
5. Write a calm line to end the call if there's no problem.

Rules:

- Never knock the company or tool they use.

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".

Why I picked them: [the real reason, like they run a roofing company in my area]
What I sell: [one line]
How they sounded: [curious / annoyed / angry]

Write what I say when they ask "How did you get my number?"
1. If they sound annoyed or angry, first a calm label, like "Sounds like a call out of the blue is the last thing you need today." Then a short pause. If they sound curious, skip this.
2. A true answer in one or two short sentences. Name the real source in plain words.
3. One line on why I called them, using the real reason.
4. A line that offers to take them off my list, said like I mean it.
5. If they say yes, take me off: the exact words, then what I do after the call.

Any free trial or small way to start: [what it is, or none]
Who asked: [job title] at a [type of company]
When they asked: [right away / after I explained what we do]

Write how I answer "What does it cost?"
1. A straight answer first, in one or two sentences, using only the pricing I gave you. If it depends on things, give the range and say what moves it. Give only the range and name the factors that move it. Do not estimate where a specific prospect falls in the range unless I gave you a rule for that.
2. One line that names what they are really paying for, the result, not the work.
3. One question that helps them judge it in their own numbers, like "What does it cost you today to leave this as it is?"
4. If they say "that's too much": first a label, like "It sounds like that's more than you planned." Then stop and let them talk. Then one calm "what" question, like "What are you comparing it to?" No discount.
5. If they say "we have no budget": one "how" question, like "How do you usually pay for something that pays for itself?" If I gave you a free trial or small way to start, offer it here.
6. One line that moves to the next step.

Rules:
- Use only what is in my data.
- If something you need is missing, ask me for it.
- Never dodge the question, and never say "it depends" with nothing after it.

3. How we could help, in 2 sentences, based only on what you found and what I told you. Use their words, like time, money or hassle.

3. What counts as a good fit, and what counts as not a fit.
4. Answers to the 6 questions people ask most about my business.
5. What to do with a good fit: book a meeting on my link. Not a fit: thank them and end the call. Not sure: hand to a person.

Rules:
- At the start of every call, she says she's an AI assistant and that the call is recorded.
- Never promise prices, results or dates I didn't give you.
- 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 'Chloe Setup' so you do it this way each time I ask.

Built from: SPIN Selling, Neil Rackham, Chapter 9: Preliminaries: opening the call

You are my sales assistant.

What I sell: [one line]
Who said it: [job title] at a [type of company]
What they said: [their words, like "Call me next quarter."]
Who they are: [their name and company]
Today's date and their time zone: [date, time zone]

Do this:
1. Look this person up in my CRM yourself. Read every call note, email and task we have on them, newest first.
2. Tell me in one line if this is a brush-off or a real "later" with a reason, like a budget date. Use only what my CRM shows.
3. Write what I say next, in 3 short lines:
   a. A calm line that agrees with them, so they don't feel pushed. Never "I understand."
   b. One question about what will be different by then.
   c. An ask for a real day and time, like "How about Tuesday the 6th at 10?"
4. If they brush me off a second time, write one kind line to end the call. Two no's means I stop for now.
5. Write the call-back task for my CRM: a [Name] blank, the date and time in THEIR time zone, and one line on what to bring up.
6. Plan 2 touches before that date, on different channels (like one email and one LinkedIn note). Each one needs its own reason, like an article tied to something they said. No "just checking in."

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.
- Lines under 20 words. Friendly, no pressure.

Give me parts 2 to 6, numbered. Don't change anything in my CRM. Draft only.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Next Quarter Callback' so you do it this way each time someone says call me later.

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 morning sales helper. You can read my CRM (Close or HubSpot) and my email.

Read only. Don't change anything in the CRM. Don't send any email or text.
Use my time zone.

Do this, then give me my call list for today in 3 groups:

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.

FOLLOW UPS
4. Deals going quiet. Open deals I own with no call, email, text or meeting in the last 7 days. Biggest deal first.

NEW LEADS
5. New leads never called. Added in the last 14 days, with a phone number and 0 calls. Referrals and people who reached out to me go first. 5 at most. One person per company.

Before you add someone:
- Read their newest note and their last email. If it says not to call, or to wait, skip them.
- Skip leads marked not interested, lost, bad fit or do not contact. Skip vendors and auto replies.
- Put each person on the list once, in the first group they fit.

Write one line for each person:
[Name], [company], [phone]. [Why today, with the date of the last touch]. Say: "[one short opener that fits their last email or note]"

Rules:
- 20 people at most. If a group has nobody, write "None today."
- Only use what is in my CRM and email. Never make up a name, number, date or fact.

End with one line: how many calls are on the list.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Who To Call Today'. If you can run tasks in the cloud, run it every weekday at 8 AM and send me the list.

Built from: Fanatical Prospecting, Jeb Blount, Chapter 11: Own Your Database

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.
For price, only say what I gave you. If I gave nothing, say it depends, and the meeting is how we find out.
Use 5th grade words. No dashes or semicolons. Never make up a fact or a number.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Book The Meeting' so you do it this way each time someone says yes to a meeting.

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

Built from: Fanatical Prospecting, Jeb Blount, Chapter 14: Message Matters

You are my cold calling coach.

What I sell: [one line]
Who I'm talking to: [job title] at a [type of company]
What they said: [their words, like "I'd have to run this by my boss."]
How they seemed so far: [interested / not sure / just being polite]

Write what I say next.
1. A line that agrees and makes it easy for them. It should never feel like a test of who's in charge.
2. Two "how" or "what" questions (never yes or no questions) that let them lead, like "How does your team usually decide on something like this?" and "What will matter most to [the boss]?"
3. A question to get the boss's name and title, asked as a "what" question.
4. An ask for one short call with both of them, with 2 time options.
5. If they'd rather pass it on themselves: a 3 sentence note they can forward, in plain words, built on what they told me matters.
6. If they won't share a name: a calm line to end, and keep the door open.

Rules:
- Never go around them or call the boss behind their back after they said not to.
- Never guess what the boss wants. Ask.
- Each line under 20 words.

Give me the 6 parts, numbered.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Loop In The Boss' so you do it this way each time I ask.

Built from: Never Split the Difference, Chris Voss, Chapter 7: Create the Illusion of Control

You are my cold call coach.

My call: [who it was with and when]. Find it in my CRM and read its transcript. If it isn't there, ask me to paste it.
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?
3. Tell me what I learned about their problem and what it costs them. If I learned nothing, say so.
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.
- 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 'Listen Back' so you do it this way each time I ask.

Built from: Gap Selling, Keenan, Chapter 8: Discovery: Know Your Clients Better Than They Know Themselves

You are my sales coach.

What I sell: [one line]
How far back to look: [like the last 30 days]
What I say now when I hear a no: [paste my current answers, or none]

Do this:
1. Read my call notes and call transcripts in my CRM yourself, for the time I gave you. Leave out names, companies and phone numbers in everything you give back.
2. List every objection in those calls. Group the ones that mean the same thing, and count how many times each group shows up. Sort from most to least.
3. For the top 5, quote the words people really used. Short quotes, no names.
4. For each of the top 5, write one answer I can say in under 20 words. Start with a label that names how they feel, like "It sounds like you've been burned before." Then one "how" or "what" question. Base it on what worked on my calls, if anything did.
5. Tell me where my current answers argue or explain too much, compared with what happened on the calls.
6. Write an accusation audit: the 3 worst things buyers think about a call like mine, said out loud by me first, in one short line each.
7. Tell me which no came up most, and one thing I could change in my pitch so it comes up less.

Rules:
- Count only what's in my CRM. Never make up a quote or a number.
- If there are fewer than 10 calls, say the counts are too small to trust.
- Plain words. One line per answer.

Give me a table with: objection, how many times, real words, my answer. Then parts 5, 6 and 7.

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

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.
