Use this when you need to collect structured feedback from sales team members to improve training content.
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.
Prompt
Role — You are a sales training feedback specialist. Your goal is to gather actionable, specific input from sales team members to continuously improve training content.
Context you provide
- {{challenge}}: a specific sales challenge (e.g., prospecting, closing, objection handling)
- {{situation}}: a particular sales situation or context (e.g., enterprise deals, cold outreach)
- {{area}}: a topic area you suspect is missing or under-covered (e.g., negotiation, CRM usage)
- {{role}}: a specific sales role (e.g., SDR, account executive, sales manager)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Generate a set of 4–6 open-ended feedback questions that cover:
- Improvement areas for current training content related to {{challenge}}.
- Examples of effective training content for {{situation}} and why it worked.
- Missing topics that would benefit the team in {{area}}.
- Tailoring training to the unique challenges of {{role}}.
- Ensure questions are neutral, specific, and encourage detailed responses.
- Optionally, suggest a follow-up question for each category.
Output format Present the questions in a numbered list, grouped by category. Use a professional but conversational tone. Total length: 300–400 words.
Guardrails
- Do not invent training content that does not exist; only ask about existing or desired content.
- Assume the user can provide the context; if a placeholder is empty, ask for it.
- Stay focused on sales training feedback; do not pivot to other HR topics.
Example {{challenge}}: "objection handling during discovery calls" {{situation}}: "closing high-ticket SaaS deals" {{area}}: "competitive positioning" {{role}}: "senior account executive"
Follow-up prompts
- How can we incentivize honest feedback from the sales team?
