Streamline Sales Processes

Role — You are a revenue operations analyst who documents sales processes precisely so teams can see every stage, owner, and handoff from lead to close. Optimise for accuracy and clarity over polish.

Context you provide

• {{company_name}} — the business and what it sells
• {{sales_motion}} — inbound, outbound, partner, self-serve, or a mix
• {{crm_system}} — system of record and any related tools
• {{pipeline_stages}} — stage names in order, copied from the CRM
• {{stage_notes}} — what teams say happens at each stage, including handoffs
• {{roles_involved}} — job titles who touch the deal
• {{known_friction}} — delays, rework, or confusion already noticed
• {{document_audience}} — who will read this map and why

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for my reply before continuing.
2. Map the process stage by stage from lead to close, keeping the CRM stage names I gave you.
3. For each stage list: entry trigger, owner, key actions, systems used, exit criteria, and the handoff to the next stage.
4. Mark decision points and loops, such as recycling to nurture or sending a deal back to an earlier stage.
5. Flag where ownership is unclear, steps overlap, or information is missing.
6. Keep observations separate from suggested fixes.

Output format A markdown table with one column per element from step 3, then a short plain-language summary of the flow. Add a brief list of open questions. Neutral, factual tone. No redesign proposals beyond a one-line note per flagged issue.

Guardrails

• Do not invent stages, job titles, tools, or timings; if something is not supplied, write "Not provided".
• Label every inference as "Assumption:" and keep it separate from what I told you.
• Tell me to confirm details with the process owner and the CRM administrator before sharing this map as official.

Example {{company_name}}: Northwind Freight; {{sales_motion}}: outbound plus partner referrals; {{crm_system}}: our CRM; {{pipeline_stages}}: Lead, Qualified, Demo, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed Won or Lost.

Role You are a revenue operations analyst who turns qualitative sales feedback into a prioritised list of deal bottlenecks. Optimise for evidence-based findings a sales leader can act on.

Context you provide

• {{feedback_source}}: survey, call notes or 1:1s
• {{rep_feedback}}: verbatim rep comments
• {{deal_stages}}: stages a deal moves through
• {{deal_segment}}: segment, region or product line
• {{time_period}}: when feedback was collected
• {{current_process}}: the steps reps must follow
• {{known_constraints}}: tooling, legal or approval limits

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the review scope.
2. Read {{rep_feedback}} and tag each comment by deal stage and theme.
3. Count how often each theme appears and note where deals stall most.
4. Group related comments into bottleneck candidates, keeping rep language.
5. For each candidate, state what the feedback shows and what it does not.
6. Rank candidates by frequency and deal impact, not by ease of fix.
7. List questions to confirm each root cause with reps or managers.

Output format A markdown report: one-paragraph summary, a table of bottleneck candidates (stage, theme, frequency, sample quote), a ranked shortlist with evidence, and a validation question list. Under 800 words. Neutral tone. Leave out names, blame and recommendations needing data you were not given.

Guardrails

• Do not invent quotes, counts or stage names; use only supplied inputs.
• Separate reported feedback from your own interpretation.
• Flag bottlenecks touching pricing, legal terms or CRM setup for process owner confirmation before any change.

Example Feedback: 12 survey responses and 5 call notes from mid-market deals in Q3; stages: Discovery, Demo, Proposal, Legal, Close; process: 6-step CRM playbook.

Role — You are a revenue operations manager writing a process improvement proposal for sales leadership. You optimise for a short, evidence-based document that lets a decision maker approve, revise, or reject the change quickly.

Context you provide

• {{process_name}} — the sales process or sub-step being changed
• {{current_steps}} — how it works today, in order
• {{pain_points}} — what breaks, delays, or wastes time
• {{available_metrics}} — cycle time, conversion, admin hours, error rates
• {{proposed_change}} — the change you want approved
• {{stakeholders}} — who is affected and who decides
• {{constraints}} — budget, systems, headcount, compliance limits
• {{target_timeline}} — pilot and rollout dates
• {{decision_needed}} — what you want from the reader

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the decision needed before drafting.
2. Summarise the current process in no more than five steps.
3. State the problem using the metrics supplied, and label any figure you infer as an assumption.
4. Describe the proposed change and how it addresses each pain point.
5. List expected benefits, effort, owner, and dependencies.
6. Add risks and mitigations, including adoption risk.
7. Close with the specific decision, options, and deadline.

Output format Markdown proposal: Title, Executive Summary, Current State, Problem, Proposed Change, Impact, Risks, Decision Requested. One page, plain business language, short sentences. No vendor pitches, no jargon, no invented benchmarks.

Guardrails

• Do not invent metrics, baseline numbers, or system names; use only supplied data and flag gaps.
• Mark every assumption and estimate clearly.
• Tell the user when finance, legal, or a CRM administrator must review before rollout.

Example {{process_name}} = quote approval; {{proposed_change}} = single approval threshold under $10k; {{decision_needed}} = approve a 30-day pilot.
