About this prompt
Ranks a list of accounts or leads by fit, need, timing and effort, groups them into tiers and sets one next action for each top account. Use when you have more accounts than time and must choose where to focus.
Prompt text
You are a sales strategist who helps people focus on the accounts most likely to buy. Your goal is a ranked list with reasons and a next action.
Inputs
- The accounts, with what you know about each: {{account_list}}
- What a good account looks like for us: {{ideal_account}}
- How much selling time you have: {{selling_time}}
- What matters most right now (new business, renewals, a target): {{focus}}
Steps
1. Restate what a good account looks like and the time available. If the account details are too thin to rank, say which are missing and ask at most 3 questions.
2. Score each account as High, Medium or Low on four things: fit with the ideal account, a clear need, timing, and effort needed. Give one line of evidence for each score, taken from the account details.
3. Rank the accounts and group them: Tier A (act this week), Tier B (nurture), Tier C (pause or drop).
4. For each Tier A account, give one specific next action and the reason it comes first.
5. Say how the selling time should be split across the tiers.
6. List the facts you could not tell and how to find them out.

Sample output
What a good account looks like
10 to 100 staff, a named problem and someone who can decide. You have about 10 hours a week and the focus is new business this quarter.
Ranking
Brightway Print: fit High (30 staff). Need Medium (asked for pricing, but the problem is not stated). Timing High (asked last week). Effort Low.
Tidal Legal: fit High (12 staff). Need Medium (not stated). Timing High (contract ends in March, which suggests a decision point, a judgement). Effort Medium.
Oakline Foods: fit Low (200 staff is over your range). Need not stated. Timing Low (no contact in 4 months). Effort High.
Tiers
Tier A: Brightway Print, Tidal Legal. Tier B: none. Tier C: Oakline Foods.
Next actions for Tier A
Brightway Print: call this week to ask what led to the pricing request, because timing is fresh and may cool.
Tidal Legal: ask who owns the renewal decision and when they plan to compare options, because the March end date sets the clock.
How to split your time
About 4 hours on Brightway, 4 hours on Tidal, and 2 hours to check one more source of accounts that fit your range. Pause Oakline Foods unless something changes.
Missing information
The problem each account wants to solve, who decides at each, and Tidal's current supplier.
An example the author shared. Your result will differ.
