## Problem

Reps spend 15 to 30 minutes per account hunting for a reason to reach out, or skip it and send generic emails.

## How AI solves it

Paste a prompt that asks for six trigger areas: hiring activity, news and launches, earnings quotes, decision-makers, tech stack, top competitors.

Add the prospect's name, role and company.

Ask for links on every finding.

Check each link, then use the verified triggers in the email or call prep.

## Verdict

About 2 to 3 minutes per account instead of 15 to 30.

## Tools

- [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/): General LLM for research, drafting and voice roleplay.

## RevStack prompt

Written by RevStack. This is not the sourced result below.

Inputs:
- Prospect name and role
- Company
- The trigger areas you care about

I need help preparing for a deal. Find triggers in these areas and link a source for every finding. If you cannot find a source, say so.

Prospect: {{name_role}}
Company: {{company}}
Areas: {{areas}}

For each area give up to three findings, each with a link, then one line on how I could reference it.

Example output, written by RevStack, not a reported result:

Hiring: 4 open AE roles that mention self-sourcing pipeline (careers page link).
Use: 'Saw you're hiring AEs who source their own pipeline...'
Funding: no round found in the last 12 months.

## Result

'All in about 2-3 min (what would normally take 15-30 min of research time)'

## Setup

1. Save the prompt as a snippet or custom GPT
2. Swap the trigger list for what your buyers care about
3. Verify every link before you quote it to a prospect
