This prompt lets ChatGPT act like a sales rep and write concise follow-up emails that recap pain points and encourage next steps.
After conducting a product demo.
When prospects haven’t responded immediately after a demo.
To summarize key discussion points and maintain engagement.
When encouraging a next step without being pushy.
You’re a sales rep following up after a demo. Write an email that:
Recaps the top 3 pain points the prospect shared
Gently nudges for a next step (e.g., call, trial, proposal)
Maintains a friendly, professional, and helpful tone
To start, let’s assume I’m a senior sales rep at HubSpot. The prompt in the context of HubSpot would look like:
You’re a sales rep following up after a demo. Write an email that: - Recaps the top 3 pain points the prospect shared: 1) lead qualification, 2) marketing automation inefficiencies, 3) reporting challenges - Gently nudges for a next step (e.g., call, trial, proposal) - Maintains a friendly, professional, and helpful tone
As you can see, this example demonstrates how the prompt helps create follow-up emails that reinforce the prospect’s needs, show attentiveness, and subtly guide them toward the next step in the sales process.
And here's the output:
Subject: Great Connecting Today — Here’s a Quick Recap & Next Steps
Hi [Name],
Great speaking with you earlier, and thanks again for the time. I wanted to send a quick recap of what we covered to make sure we're fully aligned moving forward.
During the demo, you mentioned three key challenges you're looking to solve:
Lead qualification – ensuring reps focus on the right opportunities without manual sorting
Marketing automation inefficiencies – too many workflows to maintain and not enough visibility into what’s actually working
Reporting challenges – difficulty pulling clean, reliable data to understand performance and make decisions confidently
Based on what you shared, it feels like we’re well-positioned to help streamline these areas and remove a lot of the manual overhead.
If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to set up a short follow-up call to map out the best next steps—whether that’s a trial, a deeper workflow walkthrough, or working toward a proposal. Whatever’s most helpful for you and your team.
Does early next week work for a quick check-in?
Looking forward to keeping the momentum going!
Best,
[Your Name]
Or to be more specific:
Personalize the email with the prospect’s name and company.
Focus on their specific pain points to show you listened.
Keep the nudge soft and action-oriented.
Limit email length to 3–5 sentences for clarity and readability.
