Get ChatGPT to write it for you

Read this first

Every script on this site has [brackets] you have to fill in. These prompts fill them in for you, and write the messages.

Do the first one once, save the answer, and paste it into every prompt after that.

Before you paste anything

Never say you saw them looking at a competitor, and that goes for ChatGPT too. Never tell it we can see competitor activity, and never paste the signal list into it. That's our secret and it stays inside the company.

Give it public stuff only: the company, the job title, what they posted. Then read what it writes before you send it. If it named a competitor or sounds like a robot, fix it or bin it.

1. Fill in your blanks (do this once)

Run this on your first day. Save the answer in a note. Everything else uses it.

Prompt

I'm a BDR at [your company]. Here's our website: [URL]. Here's who we sell to: [job titles, company type, size].

Give me short, plain-English answers to these, worded the way I'd actually say them out loud on a call. No marketing language.

1. THE PROBLEM: the one problem that makes someone in this job go looking for a tool like ours. One sentence.
2. WHO THEY ARE: how I'd describe the people I call, in 4 words. ("heads of sales at Series B companies")
3. THREE OUTCOMES: three specific things customers got from us. Numbers if you have them.
4. TWO CUSTOMER NAMES: two customers I can name on a call, with one result each.
5. WHAT WE BEAT PEOPLE ON: three things we're better at than the usual alternatives, phrased generically without naming any competitor.
6. MY OFFER: three things I could give away for free that a buyer would actually want even if they never buy. (Like a benchmark, a teardown, a sample.)

Keep every answer under 20 words.

Save this. It's your fill-in-the-blanks cheat sheet for the whole job.

2. Research an account before you dial

Prompt

I'm about to cold call [Name], who is [job title] at [Company].

Look at public information only. Give me:
1. One thing about the company I could mention in a first line. Something real and recent, like a hire, launch, funding, or office.
2. One guess at what's probably annoying them in their job right now.
3. Two things NOT to say because they'd sound generic.

Three bullets, one line each. No fluff.

3. Write my cold call script

Prompt

Here's my cheat sheet: [paste your answers from prompt 1].

Fill in the blanks in this call script using it. Keep the structure exactly, just swap the brackets for my real stuff. Make it sound like a normal person talking, not a salesperson.

"Hey [Name], full transparency, this is a cold call. Give me 20 seconds and if it's not relevant you can hang up on me. Fair?"

"Appreciate it. I work with [teams like theirs] and what I keep hearing is [the problem that makes people go shopping]. Is that on your radar, or are you pretty dialed in there?"

"Gotcha. So teams like [similar customer] work with us because [one specific outcome]. Pretty light lift to set up."

"Worth 15 minutes next week? Worst case I send you [an offer] you can steal even if we never talk again. Does Thursday or Friday work better?"

Rules: never name a competitor. No words like "solution", "leverage", or "value". Say it how I'd say it out loud.

4. Write my 3-email sequence

Prompt

Here's my cheat sheet: [paste your answers from prompt 1].
I'm emailing [Name], [job title] at [Company]. Public thing I know about them: [what you found].

Write 3 cold emails.

Email 1: 50-90 words. Subject line 3-4 words about their problem. Open with the real thing about their company. Name the problem. One line of proof with a customer and a number. End by offering [your offer] and asking for 10 minutes.

Email 2: two days later. Under 50 words. Different angle. Same offer.

Email 3: a breakup. Under 40 words. Friendly, no guilt, one last offer.

Rules: plain text, no images, one link max. Never name a competitor. Never say we know they're shopping. Write like a person texting, not a marketer. No "I hope this finds you well", no "just circling back", no "solution".

5. Write my LinkedIn message

Prompt

Here's my cheat sheet: [paste your answers from prompt 1].
I'm messaging [Name], [job title] at [Company], on LinkedIn. They just accepted my connection.

Give me 5 opening messages. Every one has to be:
- Short enough to read like a text. One line.
- Answerable off the top of their head. No thinking, no looking anything up.
- Open-ended enough to start a conversation, not a yes/no dead end.
- About their day and their world, not my product. Don't mention my company.
- Zero pitch. No link, no meeting ask, no "would you be open to".

Aim for whatever is genuinely top of mind for someone in this job. The best ones name something they deal with on a Tuesday.

Never suggest I know they're evaluating anyone.

6. Fix my LinkedIn profile

Prompt

Here's my cheat sheet: [paste your answers from prompt 1].

Rewrite my LinkedIn profile so it reads like a page for the people I'm calling, not my resume.

Give me:
1. A headline about what they GET, not my job title. Under 12 words.
2. A banner line with a proof point.
3. The first two lines of my About, written to them and starting with their problem.

Right now my headline is: [what it says now].

7. I just got an objection and froze

Prompt

Here's my cheat sheet: [paste your answers from prompt 1].

On a cold call, a prospect just said: "[what they said]".

Give me 3 ways to respond. Each one should:
1. Agree with them first so they relax.
2. Ask one question to find out what's really going on.
3. Ask for a short meeting, with a specific day.

Under 40 words each. Say it how I'd say it out loud. Never mention a competitor by name, and never hint that I know they're evaluating anyone.

8. Make it sound less like AI

Run this on anything before you send it.

Prompt

Rewrite this so it sounds like a real person wrote it in 30 seconds, not a marketer.

Cut: "I hope this finds you well", "just circling back", "I wanted to reach out", "solution", "leverage", "value", "synergy", "in today's landscape", and any sentence that could apply to any company.

Keep it under [word count] words. Short sentences. Contractions. One idea.

Here it is: [paste your draft]
