Prompt Template


## Goal
- Produce a one-page, operator-ready account research dossier that enables an SDR or AE to: prioritize outreach, pick the correct stakeholder, and book a meeting (or generate a reply) aligned to the target funnel outcome in the sales context.

## Inputs
- Offer: {{offer}}
- Ideal customer profile (ICP): {{icp}}
- Company name: {{company_name}}
- Known signals / trigger events (if any): {{known_signals}}
- Supporting proof (case studies, metrics, references) as a bullet list: {{supporting_proof}}
- Sales context block (single bullet-list block containing: funnel_stage, channel, primary_benefit, CTA, top objections): {{sales_context}}
- If any inputs are missing, the prompt must ask up to 3 targeted clarifying questions before producing the dossier.

## Prompt
Copy and paste the following as a single prompt to generate the dossier. Do not add or remove sections; produce output exactly in the order specified below.

"You are a senior B2B sales strategist. Using only verified public signals and the input blocks below, build a concise, 1‑page account research dossier for outbound outreach. If any required input is missing or ambiguous, ask up to three short clarifying questions and wait for answers.

Inputs:
- Offer: {{offer}}
- ICP: {{icp}}
- Company: {{company_name}}
- Known signals / trigger events: {{known_signals}}
- Supporting proof (case studies / metrics / links): {{supporting_proof}}
- Sales context (funnel_stage, channel, primary_benefit, CTA, top objections): {{sales_context}}

Task: Produce a one-page dossier with these sections and exact headings in this order:
1) Company Snapshot — 2-3 short bullets: core business, ARR estimate or employee count if public, primary product or service, most recent public signal (funding, exec change, hiring spree, product launch).
2) Top 3 Buying Signals / Trigger Events — rank them by immediacy and include why each signals buying intent and a suggested micro-tactic to exploit it (1 sentence each).
3) Org Chart — list 4-6 key stakeholders (title, likely responsibilities, one-line rationale why they matter to this offer). Specify primary outreach target (name if public, otherwise title + persona).
4) Strategic Initiatives — 3 prioritized initiatives the company is likely focused on this year tied to public signals or industry norms (1 line each).
5) Tailored Value Angles — 3 concise angles (each 12-20 words) that map the Offer to the stakeholder pains; include one concrete benefit metric or outcome the ICP cares about (use supporting_proof to justify any numeric claim; if no numeric proof, state qualitative benefit).
6) 5 Suggested First Outreach Lines — produce 5 distinct, non-generic openers (one primary CTA only across the 5; each line ≤ 140 characters). Ensure one opener references a specific known signal if present.
7) Quick objection-handling notes — 3 short rebuttals for the top objections from sales_context.
8) Recommended next step and measurable success criteria for this dossier (e.g., 'aim to secure 1 discovery call within 7 days; target reply rate ≥ X%' — set a realistic metric tied to funnel_stage).

Requirements while writing:
- Be specific and evidence-based: when you include a numeric benefit or case metric, cite the matching item from {{supporting_proof}} or label it 'no public metric'.
- No generic marketing fluff or clichés (ban phrases like 'disruptive', 'synergy', 'best-in-class').
- Do not invent facts: mark anything not publicly verifiable as 'unverified — confirm'.
- Keep total dossier length to roughly 250-400 words, formatted with the exact section headings above.
- Use the CTA provided in {{sales_context}} as the single, primary CTA in section 6 and section 8.
- If company signals are missing, explicitly state which signals were searched for and not found in a 1-line Assumptions block."

## Output Format
- Return the dossier as plain Markdown with the exact section headings listed in the Prompt and the sections in the same order.
- If any required input was missing or ambiguous, include a short "Assumptions" block immediately after Company Snapshot listing what you assumed or could not verify (max 2 bullets).
- Ensure one primary CTA appears only in the designated sections (Suggested First Outreach Lines and Recommended next step).
- Keep total word count 250-400 words; flag if you exceed it.

## Guardrails
- No hypey or superlative adjectives; keep language factual and utility-focused.
- Claim hygiene: never present fabricated metrics or customer names. Use 'unverified — confirm' where necessary.
- One primary CTA only; all outreach lines must remain consistent with that CTA.
- Personalization must reference a verifiable signal (from {{known_signals}} or public company facts) or be labeled speculative.
- If using competitor context, avoid comparative absolute claims (e.g., 'we're faster than X'); instead use differential value themes.
- If required public data (headcount, funding) cannot be verified within a quick search, mark as 'unverified' rather than guessing.

## Examples
- Company Snapshot (example excerpt)
  - Company Snapshot
    - GlobalSupply Co — 2019-founded logistics software provider; ~$30M ARR estimate (public filing); recent hiring for Head of Ops.

- Tailored Value Angles (example excerpt)
  - Tailored Value Angles
    - Reduce dispatch time by 18% through automated routing (case: {{supporting_proof}} item 2) — lowers driver overtime.
    - Unverified — confirm: integrate with existing TMS in 4 weeks to avoid migration downtime.
