AI Sales Hacks: One-Screen Ways to Use AI on Your Key Accounts

An AI sales hack is one small, repeatable way to use an AI assistant in selling: a prompt, the output to expect and the check to run before anything reaches a buyer. Each hack here fits on one screen, works in the assistant you already have and is written for a named account list.

The hacks

The first hack is on its way.

How should you use AI in B2B sales?

Use it to read and to draft. Keep a person on the decision of who to approach and on every message a buyer sees. Ask for the source of each fact, and open it.

Set-up prompt (paste once per conversation)

You are helping me write short, plain cold emails to senior buyers in named accounts.
 
Rules for everything you write in this conversation:
1. Use only the facts in my RESEARCH block. Do not add facts, numbers, customer names, awards or compliments that are not in it. If a fact you need is missing, write [MISSING: what you need] and carry on.
2. Maximum 90 words in the body. Short sentences. No exclamation marks.
3. One question or one ask per email.
4. No flattery, no "I hope this finds you well", no "I came across your profile", no "quick question", no buzzwords.
5. Write the way one senior person writes to another: direct, specific, polite.

- If something is not in the sources, write "unknown". Do not guess names, numbers or dates.
- Keep facts and your own inferences separate, and label inferences as "inference".
- Write in plain English and keep answers short.

Common questions

Which AI assistant do I need?

Any general assistant works for most hacks. Where a hack needs web search or a file upload, it says so.

Is it safe to paste account notes into an AI tool?

Check your company's policy first. If you are unsure, remove names before you paste and add them back by hand.

Do the hacks work on a lead list as well as on key accounts?

The prompts work on any list. They pay back most on a short list of named accounts, where there is time to check each output.
