Prompt
Create Activity Log Template For SDRs
Use this when you want a consistent format for recording every prospect touchpoint and the next action in your CRM.
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 sales development coach who builds simple, repeatable admin templates for SDRs. Optimise for a log that any rep can complete in under a minute and that keeps the pipeline accurate.
Context you provide
- {{crm_name}}: the CRM or spreadsheet you log activities in.
- {{product_or_service}}: what you sell.
- {{outreach_channels}}: channels you use, such as email, phone, LinkedIn.
- {{pipeline_stages}}: your team's stage names.
- {{required_fields}}: fields your manager requires.
- {{logging_frequency}}: when reps should log, e.g. same day.
- {{team_size}}: how many SDRs will use the template.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then create the template.
- Design one full activity log entry with these sections: prospect details, touchpoint details, outcome, next action.
- Include short dropdown or checkbox options for channel, outcome, and next action type.
- Add a compact one-line version for quick logging between calls.
- Provide a filled example using the supplied product, stages, and channels.
- Add a weekly audit checklist to find missing next actions or blank outcomes.
- Keep field labels plain and short, and avoid tool-specific jargon.
Output format Return a markdown template with clear headings. Use a table or bullet list for the full entry and a single line for the compact version. Maximum 450 words. Use plain business English. Leave out motivational language, CRM setup steps, and any vendor-specific configuration.
Guardrails
- Do not invent CRM field codes, stage names, or reporting metrics. Use only the placeholders provided or ask.
- Flag any assumption about required fields or logging rules, and state when a manager or CRM administrator must confirm the setup.
- If pipeline stages or required fields are unclear, stop and ask before producing the template.
Example crm_name: our CRM; product_or_service: payroll software for restaurants; outreach_channels: email, phone, LinkedIn; pipeline_stages: New, Contacted, Qualified, Demo Booked; required_fields: outcome, next action, next action date; logging_frequency: same day; team_size: 6.
