A good sales call starts before the call. The better prepared you are, the easier it is to ask useful questions, understand the prospect and avoid wasting the conversation. AI can help you prepare faster.
AI can help you summarise the prospect’s website, turn notes into discovery questions, review previous emails and suggest pain points to explore. It can create a call agenda, prepare a follow up structure, and identify missing information. AI is only useful if you give it useful context. Add who the prospect is, what they do, why they are interested, and what has already been discussed. Do not add sensitive information unless the tool has been approved for that use.
Use this specific prompt for preparation: “I have a sales call with this company. Based on the notes below, help me prepare. Give me a short call agenda, five useful discovery questions, possible pain points to explore, and the information I still need to find out.”
Do not let AI become a distraction. Use it before and after the call. Before the call, use it to prepare. After the call, use it to summarise notes, draft follow up and create actions. The relationship still depends on listening: the aim is to understand the customer properly, not just sound clever.
