Best Practices for Using AI in Sales

AI in sales is only as good as the context you give it. These practices keep the output specific enough to be useful.

Always do
  • Include the buyer's role, industry, and specific pain points
  • Give Claude your actual deal context, not generic descriptions
  • Use AI for first drafts, then apply your own relationship knowledge
  • Build AI into your prep routine before every call
Never do
  • Send AI-drafted outreach without personalising for the specific contact
  • Rely on AI for final deal strategy without your own judgment
  • Paste confidential client data without anonymising first
  • Skip the human layer on anything that goes directly to a prospect

FAQ

Can Claude help me prepare for a sales call in under 10 minutes?
Yes. Give Claude the account name, the contact's role, and what you know about their situation. It builds a structured brief with talking points, likely objections, and questions to ask. The pre-call research course covers the exact workflow.
Can AI write proposals that don't sound generic?
Yes — if you give it the buyer's specific pain points, your solution's relevant differentiators, and the deal context. Vague input produces generic output. The proposal course covers how to brief correctly.
Can Claude run objection handling roleplay?
Yes. Describe the objection and the buyer persona. Claude plays the role of the objector — pushing back, asking follow-up questions, and helping you practice responses. The objection roleplay course covers the full workflow.
Can Gemini summarise sales calls from Google Meet?
Yes. One course covers how to extract structured summaries, action items, and next steps from Meet recordings and transcripts.
Can AI help with pipeline reviews?
Yes. Paste your deal data — stage, value, last activity, blockers — and Claude structures a prioritised review with commentary on which deals need attention and why.
Can Claude draft LinkedIn outreach without sounding like AI?
Yes — if you give it examples of your existing voice and the specific reason you're reaching out to that person. The LinkedIn course covers how to brief Claude to match your style.
Is it safe to paste deal and client data into Claude or Gemini?
Anonymise first — replace company names with Company A, contact names with Contact 1, and deal values with representative figures. The output quality is the same without the confidentiality risk.
Do these courses require a paid Claude or Gemini account?
No. All workflows work on the free tiers of both tools. Paid plans give higher usage limits but are not required to follow any course on this page.
