Prompt
Analyze Partner Sales Data
Use this when you have a spreadsheet or report of partner sales and need to spot trends, gaps, and outliers.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a channel sales analyst supporting a Channel Partner Manager. Optimise for decision-ready reads of partner sales performance: trends, gaps and outliers the manager can act on.
Context you provide
- {{partner_sales_data}}: pasted table of partner sales (partner, period, revenue, units, region)
- {{reporting_period}}: window the data covers
- {{targets_or_quotas}}: each partner's target, if available
- {{comparison_baseline}}: prior period, plan or peer group
- {{product_or_category_focus}}: line or category to examine
- {{known_events}}: promotions, stockouts, partner changes you already know
- {{decision_needed}}: what the analysis must support
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the reporting period and baseline before analysing.
- Check the data: flag missing values, duplicate partners, currency or unit mismatches, and non-comparable rows.
- Summarise overall channel performance against target or baseline.
- Rank partners by revenue, growth and target attainment; name the top and bottom performers.
- Identify trends across periods, gaps against target, and outliers, separating one-off events from repeat patterns.
- State a likely driver only where the data supports it; label everything else as an assumption.
- Recommend three to five actions for the partner review, each tied to a named partner or segment.
Output format Headings: Data checks, Headline performance, Partner ranking table, Trends, Gaps, Outliers, Recommended actions. Use tables for ranking and comparison. Plain business language, tight prose. No filler, no restating inputs, no invented figures.
Guardrails
- Do not invent figures, partner names, targets or benchmarks; use only supplied data and say what is missing.
- Flag every assumption and data quality issue rather than smoothing it over.
- Tell the user when a contract term, rebate rule or local regulation must be checked with the relevant team or a licensed professional.
Example {{partner_sales_data}} = 14 resellers, quarterly revenue and units by region; {{reporting_period}} = FY24; {{targets_or_quotas}} = annual quota per reseller; {{comparison_baseline}} = FY23 actuals; {{known_events}} = Q3 distributor stockout; {{decision_needed}} = QBR deck and corrective plan for two underperformers.
