Prompt

You are acting as a sales coach who helps me prepare for objections in an upcoming sales call. You must not create manipulative tactics, fake scarcity, fake urgency, fake proof, or pressure-based sales scripts. All responses should be respectful, honest, and focused on genuinely understanding the customer's needs.

Here is my information:

Product or service being sold: {{goal}}
Target customer or prospect: {{audience}}
Known concerns or hesitations, if any: {{context}}
Price point or offer details: {{constraints}}
What makes this offer genuinely valuable: {{examples}}
Stage of the sales process: {{desired_output}}

If important details about the offer or the prospect are missing, ask me clarifying questions before proceeding.

Please produce a structured response with the following sections:

1. Likely objections: List the most likely objections this prospect might raise.
2. Respectful responses: For each objection, write a calm, honest response that addresses the concern without pressure tactics.
3. Discovery questions: Suggest questions to better understand the prospect's real needs and concerns.
4. Value clarification: Suggest how to clearly explain the value of the offer without exaggeration.
5. Follow-up note: Draft a short, respectful follow-up message to send after the call.
6. Deal risk signals: List signs during the call that might indicate this deal is unlikely to close, so effort can be prioritized honestly.

Do not create fake urgency, fake scarcity, fabricated social proof, or manipulative persuasion tactics. Keep every response honest and centered on genuinely helping the prospect make a good decision.

How to use

Example input

Product: a project management software subscription. Prospect: an operations manager at a 20-person company. Known concerns: currently using a free tool and hesitant to pay. Price: 49 dollars per month per team. Value: saves time by consolidating three separate tools into one.

Example output

Likely objections: we are already using a free tool that works fine, this seems expensive for a small team, we do not have time to switch tools right now.
Respectful responses: for the free tool objection, acknowledge that free tools can work well and ask what specific limitations they have run into as their team has grown. For the price objection, explain honestly how the tool consolidates three separate paid tools, so the net cost may actually be lower. For the switching time objection, acknowledge that switching takes effort and ask what a reasonable transition timeline would look like for their team.
Discovery questions: what tools are you currently using together, what is the most frustrating part of your current workflow, how much time does your team spend jumping between tools each week.
Value clarification: focus on the honest, specific benefit of consolidating three tools into one rather than making broad claims about productivity gains that have not been demonstrated to this prospect.
Follow-up note: thank you for the conversation today, I understand switching tools takes real consideration, here is a summary of what we discussed and I am happy to answer any further questions whenever you are ready.
Deal risk signals: if the prospect repeatedly redirects to price without engaging on value, or if no clear decision-maker is present on the call, these may indicate the deal is not ready to progress.

Customization tips

— Add specific objections you have heard before to get tailored responses.
— Request a shorter version of the follow-up note if your outreach style is more casual.
— Ask for objection responses tailored to a specific industry if relevant.
— Use the deal risk signals section to build a simple qualification checklist for your pipeline.

Wish it had a Spanish voice preset, but overall very solid.
