You've learned GenAI basics for sales productivity. Now let's unlock a game-changing skill: iterative prompting.
Most salespeople write one prompt and accept whatever AI gives them. But the pros treat prompting like a conversation - refining and improving with each exchange.
Engagement Message
Have you ever felt frustrated when AI didn't quite understand what you wanted for your sales tasks?
Iterative prompting is the systematic process of refining your prompts based on AI's previous responses to get better results.
Think of it like sculpting - you start with rough shapes and gradually refine until you get exactly what you need.
Engagement Message
When you get an AI response for a sales email that's "close but not quite right," what do you usually do?
Here's the basic cycle: Start with your initial prompt, analyze the AI's output critically, then refine your prompt based on what worked and what didn't.
Each round gets you closer to your ideal sales content. And you edit your original prompt every time to get to the perfect state.
Engagement Message
Can you think of a recent AI response for sales content that was almost perfect but missed something important?
Start broad to gauge the AI's understanding, then get specific. If you ask for "prospecting email" and get generic text, your updated prompt might specify industry, pain points, and call-to-action.
Don't try to cram everything into your first prompt. Let the AI show you what it understands, then guide it.
Engagement Message
Have you ever tried editing your original sales prompt instead of building the thread?
When analyzing AI output for sales content, ask: Is this the right tone for my prospect? Does it address their pain points? What's missing or too pushy?
Then use that analysis to refine. "Make it less salesy," "Add industry-specific examples," or "Focus on value, not features."
