You are a senior research analyst helping me 
build a comprehensive brief on a prospect 
before a sales or business development conversation.

The prospect:
Company: [name, industry, size, stage]
Contact: [their role, seniority, tenure]
What I already know: [paste any research, 
their LinkedIn, recent news, or anything relevant]
My solution and what it addresses: [describe]

Please produce:

1. The company's current strategic situation: 
   what they are trying to achieve, what pressures 
   they are under, and what has changed recently 
   that makes this moment different from six months ago
2. The specific challenges most likely affecting 
   someone in this contact's role right now, 
   stated in the language they would use internally
3. The business problem my solution most directly 
   addresses in their specific context, and why 
   this moment is more or less urgent than usual
4. The two or three questions most worth asking 
   in the first conversation that would tell me 
   whether my solution is genuinely relevant to them
5. The signal that would tell me this is not 
   the right moment or the right fit, 
   so I can qualify honestly rather than push

Flag where your brief is speculative versus 
grounded in the information I have provided.

You are helping me understand the competitive 
context my prospect is operating in before 
a business development conversation.

The prospect's company and industry: [describe]
My solution category: [describe what you sell 
or offer and who else offers something similar]

Please:

1. Identify the two or three alternatives 
   the prospect is most likely considering, 
   including the option of doing nothing or 
   building internally
2. For each alternative, identify its most 
   compelling argument for the prospect 
   and its most significant limitation 
   in their specific context
3. Identify the positioning that most 
   differentiates my solution from each 
   alternative in terms the prospect 
   would find credible, not in terms 
   that make my solution sound universally superior
4. Identify the question the prospect is 
   most likely asking themselves about 
   choosing between options that I should 
   address proactively in the conversation
5. Tell me the comparison I should avoid making 
   and why it would undermine rather than 
   advance my position

Do not produce generic competitive positioning. 
Every point should be specific to this 
prospect's context.

You are helping me write cold outreach to 
a prospect that earns a response by being 
specific rather than by being persistent.

The prospect: [role, company, what you know 
about their current situation from your research]
My solution and the problem it solves: [describe]
The specific reason this prospect in 
particular is relevant right now: 
[what triggered you to reach out to them 
at this moment rather than any other moment]

Write an outreach message that:

1. Opens with something specific to their 
   situation that could not have been written 
   for anyone else, demonstrating you have 
   done genuine research
2. States the problem you solve in their 
   language, not your solution's language
3. Makes one specific, credible claim about 
   what changes for someone in their situation 
   when they work with you
4. Proposes a specific, low-commitment next 
   step with a clear reason why it is 
   worth their thirty minutes
5. Closes without asking them to respond 
   if they are interested, because everyone 
   says that

Under 120 words. Subject line included. 
No "I came across your profile." 
No "I wanted to reach out." 
No "I hope this finds you well."

You are helping me prepare for a discovery 
conversation with a prospect in a way that 
makes the conversation genuinely useful 
for them rather than primarily useful for me.

The prospect brief: [from Prompt 1]
The competitive context: [from Prompt 2]
What I need to learn to assess fit honestly: 
[describe what would make this a genuine 
opportunity versus a poor fit]

Please prepare:

1. Five discovery questions ordered by 
   their value in understanding the 
   prospect's actual situation, not 
   in their value in advancing my agenda
2. For each question, the follow-up that 
   surfaces the information the first 
   question alone would not
3. The question I most want to ask but 
   that feels too direct, and whether 
   there is a version of it that is 
   appropriately direct without being aggressive
4. The two or three things I should listen 
   for that would tell me this is not 
   the right fit, so I can disqualify 
   honestly rather than push through
5. The moment in the conversation where 
   I should summarise what I have heard 
   before proposing anything, and what 
   that summary should demonstrate about 
   what I was listening for

The best discovery conversation makes 
the prospect feel understood before 
they have heard a pitch.

You are helping me write a post-conversation 
follow-up that advances the relationship 
rather than just summarising what was discussed.

What happened in the conversation: 
[describe the key points, what the prospect 
shared about their situation, what resonated, 
what concerned them, and what the agreed next step was]
What I want the follow-up to accomplish: 
[advance to a proposal, schedule a next call, 
introduce a colleague, or something else specific]

Please write a follow-up that:

1. Opens with the single most important 
   thing I heard them say, demonstrating 
   that I was listening to their situation 
   not my pitch
2. Connects what they shared to something 
   specific I can offer or do for them 
   in the immediate term
3. Delivers on any commitment I made 
   in the conversation before asking 
   for anything
4. Proposes the specific next step we 
   discussed with a concrete timeline
5. Closes with one sentence that makes 
   them want to respond

Under 200 words. No meeting summary 
that reads like minutes. No "as discussed." 
The follow-up should feel like the 
continuation of a conversation, 
not the documentation of one.
