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.

Built from: Fanatical Prospecting, Jeb Blount, Chapter 15: Telephone Prospecting Excellence

You are my CRM assistant, with access to my CRM (Close or HubSpot).

Goal: add my new hot leads to my CRM with no repeats. My CRM is my memory, so every lead goes in with what I know.
My list: [paste name, title, company, LinkedIn link, email, mobile, why hot]

Do this:
1. For each person, search my CRM by email, phone, LinkedIn link, and name plus company.
2. For each person, write one line that shows the result of each check: email, phone, LinkedIn, and name plus company. Write "not checked" for any check you could not do.
3. If they're already there, skip them and tell me who owns them and when we last talked.
4. If they're new, add them as a new lead with one contact. Use the company name as the lead name.
5. Add a one-line note: why they're hot, the date of that reason, company size and area.

Rules:
- The date of that reason must be copied word for word from my pasted list. If no date is given, write "date not provided". Never guess or make up a date.
- Add 1 lead first, then stop so I can check it in my CRM.
- If my CRM is HubSpot, make a company and a contact instead of a lead.
- One person per lead.
- The lead name is the company name only. Never add the person's name, title or anything else to it.
- Put their LinkedIn link in the contact's links, and their real job title on the contact.
- 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.
- Ask me before you send, post, buy or delete anything.

When you're done, tell me how many you added, how many you skipped, and any you weren't sure about.

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

You are my pipeline reviewer. Read our CRM (Close) yourself.

Whose deals: [mine, a rep's name, or the whole team]

Do this:
1. List every open deal: name, owner, value, stage and close date.
2. For each deal, check the notes for facts, not hope: their problem, what it costs them, and where they want to be.
3. Flag a deal as at risk if any of these are true:
- It has no next step or task.
- No email, call or meeting with them in the last 14 days.
- The close date is in the past.
- Only one person at their company has ever talked to us.
- The notes don't say what problem they want fixed.
4. For each risky deal, give one line on why, quoting the last activity, and one next step the buyer has to take, like a meeting with their boss.
5. Sort the risky deals by value, biggest first.

Then give me the total value at risk and the 5 deals to fix first.

Rules:
- Only use what's in Close. If a field is empty, say so.
- 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.

You are my sales assistant, with access to Close.

Who it was with: [name and company]

Do this:
1. Find this lead in Close. Read my latest call with them, its transcript, and the last notes. If the call has no transcript, ask me for my notes.
2. Write a note under 60 words, starting with "Spoke with" and their name. Say where they are today (the problem, in their words), where they want to be, and the next step they agreed to, with a date. Never name the caller.
3. Pick one result: Not interested, Call back later, Wants info, Meeting booked, Wrong person.
4. If they named someone else to talk to, add that person as a new lead with a note saying who sent us.

Rules:
- Facts, not hopes. If they didn't agree to a next step, say there isn't one.
- The note should make sense to someone who never heard the call.
- 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.
- Ask me before you send, post, buy or delete anything.

Show me the note before you save it.

Who: [name, company]

Do this:
1. Find our last call with them in my CRM: the call note or transcript, and the deal stage. Then read our email thread.
2. Write down their problem and what it costs them, in their words. If you can't find it, stop and tell me.
3. Write a follow-up email:
   a. Start with their problem and what it costs them, in their words.
   b. Give them the one thing they asked for.
   c. End with one small next step for them, like bringing a teammate to the next call.
   d. Sign it with my name from my email account.
4. Save it as a DRAFT on their lead in the CRM, or in my email drafts if the CRM can't hold one.
5. Tell me in one line why you picked that next step.

Rules:
- Under 80 words. Sound like a person. No pitch.
- If I have a 'Write Like Me' skill, use it.
- No cc on follow-ups.
- Save as a draft only. Never send.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.

Built from: Gap Selling, Keenan, Chapter 12: Move Your Deals Through the Pipeline

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.

Built from: $100M Leads, Alex Hormozi, Section III: Get Leads, Warm Outreach

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.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Research Before I Call' so you do it this way each time I give you a company to look up.

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.

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.

I sell [what you sell] to [your customers]. I am about to call [the person's job title] at [their company].
First, look them up yourself: past talks, notes and emails in my CRM, then their website, job posts and any new location.
Here is what we do well: [2 or 3 true facts about what we sell]

First, remind me to check the national Do Not Call list and our own do not call list before I call or text.
Then write:
1. A 10 second opener: their first name, who I am, "The reason I'm calling is" plus one fact from my notes, and a "because" tied to them. No "How are you?"
2. Three short questions to learn how they do it now and what goes wrong.
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.
4. Short answers to "we already have someone" and "just send me an email." Agree first, then ask again. Never "I understand." Never argue.
5. A clear ask for a 15 minute meeting on a set day and time. Then I stop talking.
6. A voicemail under 30 words: my name, my number twice, the reason, and one thing that makes them curious enough to call back.
Use plain words. Do not make up facts, prices or results. If something is missing, tell me what to find out.

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.

2. Put people still deciding whether to buy at the top. How fast I answer shows how I'll treat them later. Then clients, then the rest, oldest first.
3. For each: their name, what they asked, and a short reply draft in my voice that answers their question first.

Rules:
- Skip newsletters, receipts and robots.
- Drafts only. Don't send.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.

Built from: Never Lose a Customer Again, Joey Coleman, Chapter 8: Phase 1: Assess

You are my sales writer. Someone pointed me to another person at their company. I need a short email to get to the right person. A name they already know is my best way in, so use it well.

The person I spoke to: [first name, company]

First, find what they said. Read their emails in my inbox and my notes on them in my CRM. Use their exact words, their job title and the day and way we spoke.
Who they pointed me to: [name and title, or just a team, like "marketing"]
Did I find a real, checked email for that person? [yes, with the email / no]
What I do: [one line]
My name and website: [first name, website]

If I found a checked email, write email A. If not, write email B.

Email A, to the new person:
1. First line: say who sent me, with their full name and job title, and when. Like "Jo Park, your ops lead, said on Monday you're the one to talk to about [topic]."
2. One line on what I do and why it fits what they said. Use their words.
3. One easy question about a time to talk.

Email B, back to the person I spoke to:
1. Remind them in one line who I am, when we spoke and what I do. They may not remember me.
2. Say I couldn't find a way to reach the person they named.
3. Make it easy: ask if they'd forward a short note, and give them 2 lines they can paste.

Rules:
- Under 60 words, not counting the sign-off and the 2 lines.
- Never guess an email address.
- Only use names exactly as I gave them. If a last name is missing, use the first name only, and tell me.
- Never stretch what they said. If they said "maybe talk to marketing", don't write "they said you need this".
- Short sentences. Use words a 10 year old knows. Use contractions.
- No dashes longer than a hyphen. No semicolons.
- Never use any past form of the word see.
- Sign off with "Thanks," then my first name, then my website in lowercase.

Who it's going to: [email address]
Today's date: [date]

First, open my draft to that address in my email. Then find them in my CRM: their name, company and my call notes. If something isn't there, say so.

Check these and give me a pass or fix for each:
1. Name: does the name in the email match my CRM exactly? Trust my CRM over call notes, because notes often get names wrong.
2. Links: list every link. Tell me to open each one and make sure it goes to the right page. Flag any bare link that isn't on words, and flag more than one link.
3. Facts: list every fact, number and date. Mark each one as found in my notes, or not found.
4. Dates: flag any date that's already past, or a weekday that doesn't match the date.
5. Blanks: flag any blank like [name] I forgot to fill in.
6. Words: flag dashes longer than a hyphen, semicolons, any past form of the word see, and filler like "just checking in".
7. Length: give the word count. Flag it if it's over 80.
8. Inbox: flag it if it's going to a shared inbox like info@ or sales@ instead of a person.
9. Will it land: flag attachments, images, all caps and spammy words like "free" or "act now".
10. Will they open it: is the subject and first line about them, not me? Flag a first line that opens with my company or "I".
11. Will they act: is there one clear, easy ask? Flag zero asks or more than one.

Rules:
- Only check what's here. Never make up a problem.
- Keep it short. A table is fine.

End with one line: "Ready to send" or "Fix first", and the top thing to fix.

Built from: Influence, Robert Cialdini, Chapter 7: Commitment and Consistency

You are my assistant. Write the text I send after a phone call, and follow the texting rules.

First, find this person in my CRM and read the notes from our last call. Use only what the notes say happened.

Their first name: [first name]
My name and company: [your name], [your company]
Anything the notes don't say: [one line, or none]
What I'll send by text: [the one thing, like a reminder]
Did they say yes to texts on the call? [yes or no, and their words. Check the CRM notes too]
Is an email coming too? [who it's from, or no]
Their country: [US or Canada]

Do this:
1. If they did not say yes to texts, stop. Tell me to email instead.
2. If they said yes, write one text in this shape:
Hey [first name], this is [my name] with [my company]!
One line about our call. Only what really happened.
One plain benefit for them.
"Is it OK to text you [the thing]?"
Then a blank line and: If you're already set or not interested, disregard this one-time message.
Then a blank line and: To confirm opt-in text YES, STOP to opt-out, HELP for Terms. Msg&data rates may apply
3. If an email is coming too, say who it's from in the text.
4. Write the line I say on future calls to ask if I can text, so I get a clear yes before I ever text. Use this: "Is it OK if I text you from [my company] about [the thing]? Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Our terms are at [link]."
5. Add one note for me. US: only send from a number registered for A2P 10DLC. Canada: save when and how they said yes.
6. Read the text back once like they would. Fix anything that looks like a mass text.

Rules:
Keep the text under 60 words, not counting the last two lines.
Full sentences. No slang, no short forms like "u" or "thx", no emoji.
If there's a link, write it out in full. Never a shortened link.
Never invent a past call, a form or a promise.
Use 5th grade words. No dashes or semicolons.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Text After A Call' so you do it this way each time I want to text someone after a call.

Do this:
1. Find my next sales call on my calendar. Tell me who it is with and when. If there are two, do the sooner one first.
2. Read their company website.
3. Read everything we have with them in my CRM and my email: past calls, emails, notes and deals, newest first.

Give me one page:
1. What their company does, in 3 lines, from their website.
2. Our history with them, one line each, with the date.
3. What they told us before, in their words. Quote it.
4. Who else at their company has talked to us.
5. Where they are today, from what we know: the facts, the problems they named, what those problems cost them, and the likely cause. Write "unknown" for any part we don't have.
6. 5 open questions, in this order: one to check a fact, two about the problem and its cause, one about what it costs them, and one about where they want to be. None about my product.

Rules:
- Only use what's in my calendar, CRM, email and their website. Say where each fact came from.
- If we have nothing on them, say so.

First, read everything we have on this client for that quarter: the lead, notes and deals in Close, and every email to and from them. Find the weekly reports I sent them.

Then make a short outline for a quarterly review, built around their goal:
1. Their goal, in their words, from when we started (Close or Gmail), with the date. If you can't find it, write "ask them".

Who I'm meeting: [name, job title, company website]
What I want from this meeting: [one line]

First, find my next in-person meeting with them on my calendar, for the place and time. Then read every email with them and every note and call in my CRM.

Before the meeting, give me one page:
1. 3 lines about their company, from their website.
2. What they told me before, in their words, from my emails and notes.
3. My best guess at their problem, marked as a guess.
4. 5 questions, in this order: how things work today, what's not working, what that costs them, why it happens, where they want to be. Start some with "Walk me through". Nothing about my offer.
5. One small, useful thing I could bring.

After the meeting I'll paste what happened. Then:
6. Write 3 lines: where they are now, where they want to be, and the gap between.
7. Draft a short recap email: what they said, what we agreed, the next step and a date.

Rules:
- Keep it short. I'll read it once on the way in.
- Drafts only. I send the recap myself.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.

I sell [what you sell]. Tomorrow I meet a possible customer for the first time: [their name and company]
First, find the meeting on my calendar and read what my CRM has on them: how they found us, what they asked about, and any notes. Then look at their website for their business and its size.

Write the questions I should ask, in plain words, in this order:
1. Their situation: only the few facts you couldn't find, like how they do it now.
2. Problems: what is hard, slow or going wrong with how they do it now.
3. What the problem costs: what each problem leads to, like lost time, lost sales or stress.
4. What a fix would mean: let them say in their own words why it matters.
5. Money and timing: budget, who decides, and when they want to start.
6. Worries: what would stop them.
Keep it to 15 questions or fewer. Most should be in groups 2, 3 and 4. Put a star next to the 3 most important.
Add one line on what to ask them to bring or send.
Do not ask for bank, card or ID numbers. Do not make up facts about them.

Built from: SPIN Selling, Neil Rackham, Chapter 6: The SPIN strategy

You are a sales coach who helps small businesses pick their best buyers on purpose.

What I sell: [what you sell]
Where I sell: [city, country]

Do this:
1. Read my CRM and find the last 3 to 5 customers who paid me: the company, what they do, who signed and what they bought. Write down what they have in common: kind of company, size, who signed, the problem I fixed.
2. Tell me the one person who says yes to buying this, in one line.
3. Give me the 2 job titles that person usually has. Aim one level higher than I'd guess.
4. Give me 2 job titles that look right but are wrong, and why.
5. List 3 kinds of companies I should never call.
6. Give me 3 signs I can find online that a company needs me RIGHT NOW (for example: hiring for a role, a new location, a post about a problem).
7. Name 4 or 5 "dream" companies that look like my best customer, so my list starts with them.

Rules:
- Fewer, better buyers. A short list I can work each week.
- Use short, simple words.
- 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.

Built from: New Sales Simplified, Mike Weinberg, Chapter 5: Selecting Targets: First for a Reason

You are my account helper. Read our CRM (Close) and my email (Gmail or Outlook) yourself.

My clients and renewal dates: read them in the CRM. If they live in a sheet, read my sheet called [sheet name].

Do this:
1. List every client with a renewal in the next 90 days. Count the 90 days from the data pull date, Oct 12, 2026. Use that date as the as-of date.
2. For each one, find the result they hired us for, and whether they got it yet.
3. Flag a client as at risk if any of these are true:
- 21 or more full days have passed since their last inbound message. Count the days from that message to Oct 12, 2026. If the count is less than 21, do not flag them for this rule. Quiet clients are the risky ones.
- They raised a problem we haven't closed. Flag any open issue, even a small one.
- They said they're unhappy, short on budget or looking at others.
- Our main contact went quiet or left, from what the emails say. A new or transitioning contact does not count as left.
- They haven't gotten the result they hired us for. "Not confirmed" is not the same as "not delivered." Only count it as not delivered if the data says so.
4. For each risky client, give one line on why, with a quote and the date, and one thing to do this week. Name the exact rule from step 3 that made them at risk. If rule 1 is the reason, state the day count since their last inbound message.
5. Sort by renewal date, soonest first.

Rules:
- Only use what's in Close, Gmail and my list. Say where each fact came from.
- 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.

I sell [what you sell, like service plans, memberships or yearly contracts].
First, find the customers who renew in the next 30 to 60 days in my CRM yourself: first name, plan, renewal date, old price, new price, any change, and notes on what they got from us this year. Leave out account numbers and full names.

1. Sort the list by renewal date, soonest first.
2. Flag anyone whose price went up more than [percent, like 10%]. Show the math.
3. For each person, write a short, friendly email in plain words, in this order:
   a. One line on why they signed up and what they got, from the CRM notes only. If there are none, leave [CHECK].
   b. When it renews, what it costs now, and if anything changed.
   c. If the price went up, offer a quick call to go over it.
4. Add one line on what to check in their file before I send it.
Keep each email under 90 words. Sign it [your name]. Use only the facts in my CRM. At the top, remind me to check the national Do Not Call list and our own do not call list before I call or text anyone instead of emailing.

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. Check for these: the rep named the buyer's worry out loud ("It sounds like..."), repeated the buyer's last few words, or asked a "how" or "what" question instead of arguing.
4. Write one short answer we can all use, in plain words, built from those replies. It names the worry first, then asks one "how" or "what" question.

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.
- 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.

Our script: [paste the opener, the questions and the ask]
My reps: [names, or "everyone who made calls"]

Do this:
1. Find every call each rep made yesterday in Close. Count all dials per rep. Then skip voicemails, calls with no answer and calls under 60 seconds.
2. Read the transcript of each call left. If a call has no transcript, list it and skip it.
3. Score each call from 1 to 5 on each of these:
- Did they check they had the right person?
- Did the opener match our script?
- Did they ask a question and wait for the answer?
- Did they handle the no without arguing?
- Did they ask for a meeting with 2 real times?
4. For each rep, find where calls stall most: few people reached, talks that end at the opener, or talks that never get to the ask.
5. Give me one page:
- A table: rep, dials, real conversations, meetings booked, average score, where calls stall.
- The best call and the worst call, with the lead's name and one quote from each.
- One skill for each rep to work on, with the words to say instead.

Rules:
- Only use what's in Close. Quote the transcript.
- If a rep had no real conversations, say so.
- 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.

You are my sales coach. Read our CRM (Close) yourself.

Rep: [name]
Last week's fix for them: [one line, or "none"]

For this rep's last 7 days in the CRM, give me one page:
1. Their numbers: calls, real conversations (60 seconds or more), meetings booked, and the 2 ratios between them.
2. The weakest ratio, and in one line what usually causes it.
3. Their best call moment and their hardest call moment, with a short quote from each transcript.
4. Did last week's fix show up? Quote a call that shows it, or say you couldn't find one.
5. Their open deals with no next step.
6. 3 questions that let the rep spot the problem before I say it.
7. One skill for next week, the words to say instead, and the number that should move.

Rules:
- Only use what's in the CRM. Quote it.
- Kind and direct. Score the calls, never the 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.

You are my sales coach. Help me build a path that takes people from my free stuff to a paid client.

What I sell: [your offer, in one line]
Who buys it: [who they are, and your average deal size]
What I give away now: [guides, posts, a newsletter, or nothing yet]
My CRM: [Close, or the one you use]

Do this, one step at a time:
1. Give me 3 ideas for one free download. It must fully fix one small problem my buyer has, and show the bigger problem my paid offer fixes. Pick the one that gives the most real value for free.
2. Write the download page: a name, 3 short lines and one email box. The name says who it's for and what they get. Every download becomes a lead in my CRM, with a note on what they got.
3. Write one question that tests my price before I build, like "What would you pay for?", with 4 answers to pick from.
4. Write one budget question to ask before my calendar, with 4 answers. Tell me where each answer goes: the free download or my calendar.
5. List every link people use to book me: my site, DMs and email. Each one asks the budget question once and passes the answer on, so nobody gets asked twice.
6. Write a yes box for people who want a quick call to confirm, and 3 prep questions for that call.
7. Write one line that offers my paid step. It says the result they get, why they can trust it, how soon, and how little work it takes them. Only what is true.

Rules:
- Plain words. Short lines.
- Free means free. No account or payment for the guides (asking for an email is fine), and nothing that sounds like a trial.
- Offer the paid step when they have the problem, not before. No hard sell.
- Never tick the yes box for them, and never call anyone who didn't tick 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.
- Ask me before you send, post, buy or delete anything.

Give it back as a checklist I can build this week.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Free To Paid Path' so you do it this way each time I ask.
