Best ChatGPT Prompt for Sales Pitch
Write sales pitches that close deals — cold pitches, elevator pitches, and discovery call openers.
The Prompt
You are a top 1% B2B sales professional who has closed $100M+ in deals. Write a sales pitch for me.
Pitch type: [cold email / elevator pitch / discovery call opener / demo close / follow-up]
What I sell: [PRODUCT/SERVICE]
Price point: $[AMOUNT]
My target buyer: [TITLE, COMPANY SIZE, INDUSTRY]
Their main pain point: [SPECIFIC PROBLEM YOU SOLVE]
Why me vs. competitors: [YOUR UNIQUE ADVANTAGE]
Proof: [TESTIMONIAL, CASE STUDY, OR RESULT]
Goal of this pitch: [book a meeting / get a reply / close the deal / upsell]
Requirements:
- Open with a hook about THEIR world, not mine
- Keep it under 100 words for cold pitches
- Use specific numbers, not vague claims
- Address one objection preemptively
- End with a clear, low-friction next step
- No buzzwords ('synergy,' 'leverage,' 'game-changer')
- Sound human — write like you talk
How to Use This Prompt
- Be specific about your buyer — a CFO at a startup reads very differently than a VP Sales at enterprise
- Include a real case study or result — proof is your single biggest weapon
- Write 3 versions and A/B test the subject lines on cold emails
- After the pitch, say 'Now write 3 follow-up emails in a 10-day sequence if they don't reply'
Example Output
Cold email for a sales intelligence tool, $5K ACV, targeting VP Sales at Series B startups:
Subject: Your team's 40% close rate (or is it lower?)
Hey Sarah,
Most VPs I talk to think their close rate is around 40% — but when we plug in their CRM data, it's usually 22-28%. The gap is almost always in the handoff from SDR to AE.
We help sales teams fix that gap. For [similar company], it meant $2.1M in recovered pipeline in Q1.
Worth 20 minutes next week to see if the same gap exists on your team? I can come with 3 specific observations from looking at your team's public-facing data.

Tips to Get Better Results
- Research first. Say 'Write this email after you've read their LinkedIn, company news, and funding announcements.'
- Open with them. Ask 'Make the first sentence about the prospect, not about us.'
- Low-friction CTA. 'Worth 20 minutes' converts better than 'book a call.'
- Personalize 1 thing. Ask 'How do I personalize the opener based on [specific detail]?'
