A day in the life of a CRM Manager: what changes with these prompts.
Track progress as a memberNadia, a CRM manager at a mid-sized retail company.
Nadia starts her Wednesday with a familiar problem: the sales team says the contact list is full of duplicates. Instead of opening a spreadsheet and merging rows by hand, she opens ChatGPT and uses a prompt from the Data Hygiene lesson: 'Draft deduplication rules for a B2B contact list using email, company name, and phone number.' She gets a clear set of rules in seconds and refines them before sharing.
Next, she needs to set up a welcome email for new leads. She opens Claude and uses a prompt from the Workflow & Automation lesson: 'Write a trigger, three action steps, and a notification email for a new lead entering the system.' She tweaks the language and sends it to her sales ops partner.
After lunch, she has to explain a new report to the marketing director. She opens Gemini and uses a prompt from the Reports & Dashboards lesson: 'Explain how to build a dashboard that shows lead source and conversion rate by month.' She gets a clear outline she can share in the meeting.
By the end of the day, Nadia has finished her work early. She does not stay late. She takes a walk before dinner and reads a few pages of a novel.
