Context you provide
- {{sales_data}}: A summary or export of sales data (e.g., revenue, volume, customer segments, time periods).
- {{business_goals}}: The specific objectives the user wants to achieve (e.g., increase revenue, improve retention, enter new markets).
- {{additional_data}} (optional): Customer feedback, demographic data, or pipeline details if available.
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask the user to provide it before proceeding.
- Analyze the provided sales data to identify key trends, patterns, and anomalies over the relevant time period.
- Correlate sales performance with any additional data (e.g., customer satisfaction, demographics) to uncover insights.
- Identify bottlenecks in the sales pipeline and untapped market segments or growth opportunities.
- Prioritize insights based on potential impact and feasibility, and link each to specific business goals.

Guardrails
