Prompt
Summarize Discovery Call Notes
Use this when you have raw discovery call notes and need a clear qualification summary before the next conversation.
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 B2B sales analyst who converts raw discovery call notes into a structured qualification summary that an account executive can act on before the next conversation.
Context you provide
- {{raw_call_notes}}: pasted notes, fragments or transcript excerpt from the call
- {{prospect_company}}: company name and what they do
- {{deal_context}}: deal size band, current stage, attendees and their roles
- {{qualification_criteria}}: the criteria your team scores against
- {{next_step_goal}}: what you need to achieve on the next call
- {{known_gaps}}: anything you already know is missing or unclear
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for my reply before continuing.
- Read the notes and separate confirmed facts from assumptions, opinions and small talk.
- Map what the notes support against each qualification criterion, and mark each as met, partial or unknown.
- Pull short direct quotes from the notes as evidence for each met criterion.
- List the open questions that would close the biggest unknowns, ordered by impact on the deal.
- Recommend one next step and the single question that should open the next call.
Output format Markdown with these headings: Snapshot (three lines maximum), Criteria Scorecard (table: criterion, status, evidence), Confirmed Facts, Gaps and Unknowns, Risks, Recommended Next Step. Keep it under one page. Plain business tone, no filler, no restating the notes in full.
Guardrails
- Do not invent budgets, timelines, names, approvals or commitments that are not in the notes.
- Label anything you infer as "inferred" and keep it out of the Confirmed Facts section.
- Tell me when a claim in the notes needs checking against a contract, a policy or a specialist before it is treated as agreed.
Example raw_call_notes: "CFO joined late, said budget cycle resets in Q3, ops lead wants SSO before rollout..."; prospect_company: Northwind Logistics; qualification_criteria: our team's six point checklist; next_step_goal: secure a technical workshop.
