ChatGPT Email Prompts: Best Examples for Sales Teams

Crafting emails is an important task on every sales pro's to-do list. Whether you're introducing yourself to leads, notifying customers about a product launch, or following up on a conversation, your emails need to be engaging, informative, and personalized. 💌

Writing such emails can take time and effort, especially if you have a lot of potential and existing customers. To improve your efficiency without compromising on email quality, you can use ChatGPT. The AI chatbot can automate email creation, but only if you use the correct prompts.

Take it from us. We've used AI in sales campaigns to save at least four hours a day on emails that would otherwise require extensive research and writing. Now, we want to share the knowledge with other sales teams. In this guide, we'll offer the best ChatGPT email prompts, focusing on the most popular use cases in sales.

TL;DR

  • ChatGPT email prompts can automate sales email writing across six key use cases: customer discovery, prospecting, follow-ups, referrals, email summarization, and feedback requests.
  • Effective prompts include a role assignment, clear context about your company and offer, a word count target, and a specific goal for the email.
  • The quality of data you feed into your prompts directly determines the quality of the output. Inaccurate placeholders produce emails that miss the mark.
  • Clay's AI email writer integrates directly with OpenAI, letting you generate hundreds of personalized emails from enriched data without copying and pasting between tools.

Why you should use ChatGPT prompts for writing emails

Here are a few benefits of leveraging ChatGPT prompts for email writing in sales:

Best ChatGPT email prompts for every sales scenario

You can use ChatGPT email writing prompts for various scenarios and sales pipeline stages. We've compiled a list of examples covering:

  • Customer discovery
  • Sales prospecting
  • Following up
  • Asking for a referral
  • Summarizing long emails
  • Asking for feedback
  • ChatGPT email prompts for customer discovery

    Customer discovery is an imperative presales process that contributes to the overall success of your sales campaigns.

    During this phase, you collect information about potential customers to understand their needs and challenges. These insights can later help you qualify leads more precisely, assign points to prioritize specific accounts, and reach the correct lead with the right message. 

    ChatGPT can make customer discovery easier and generate emails that help you gather the exact info you need. Here are some prompts you can use for different scenarios:

  • Scheduling a customer discovery call
  • "You're an SDR who wants to learn more about a lead via a phone call. Write an email that contains no more than 150 words and expresses interest in your lead's needs and challenges. Explain that you work for [your company], which specializes in [line of work], and offer some general info on [your product or service]. Finish the email by inviting them on a brief call."

  • Inviting the recipient to participate in a survey
  • "Write a customer discovery email that doesn't exceed 120 words. The goal of the email is to obtain more information about the recipient to use for lead qualification purposes. The email should invite the recipient to participate in a survey about [the survey's subject]. Explain that the survey is short and easy to fill out. Finish the email by thanking the recipient for their participation."

    ChatGPT email prompts for sales prospecting

    Sales prospecting is a key stage in your campaigns as this is where you introduce your offer for the very first time and try to engage your prospects. The more efficient the prospecting is, the more prospects you'll be able to add to your funnel and ultimately enhance conversions.

    Since the stakes are high, writing sales prospecting emails is no joke. You have to be precise, hit the right note with the recipients, make the emails stand out, and clearly state your offer's unique value. ChatGPT can lend a helping hand here. Based on your prompts, it can write unique sales prospecting emails that will generate interest. 👌

    Here are a few examples of sales prospecting prompts:

  • Reaching out to a cold prospect and addressing their challenges
  • "Write a cold outreach email introducing myself [your name and job title] and explaining how [your product or service] can [a few notable benefits of your product or service]. Address the prospect's challenges, specifically [the recipient's challenge], and explain how exactly [your product or service] can help. Finish the email by asking the prospect to schedule a quick call to learn more."

  • Reaching out to a cold prospect to highlight your product's unique value
  • "Write a 130-word cold outreach email that targets [the prospect's job title and line of work]. The email aims to highlight the unique value of [your product or service]. More specifically, focus on [your product's key characteristics] and explain how [the prospect] can benefit from it and stand out from their competition. Wrap up the email by inviting the recipient to schedule a call."

    ChatGPT email prompts for following up with prospects

    Email follow-ups are excellent for lead nurturing, and they allow you to provide additional value to your recipients. However, writing them can be tricky because you need to:

  • Pay attention to your tone. You don't want to be pushy, but you also don't want to seem uninterested.
  • Understand your lead's circumstances and the context. Follow-ups are based on and often mention previous interactions with your leads, so each email is unique.
  • ChatGPT prompts can automate writing follow-up messages for leads. Here are two prompt examples you can copy and, if necessary, adjust to your circumstances:

  • Following up with a lead who ignored your cold outreach email
  • "Generate a follow-up email to [recipient's name] as a response to my previous email focusing on [the first email's topic]. State that I'm aware that the recipient has a busy schedule, and briefly discuss the gist of the email, which was [a few details mentioned in the first email]. Restate [your product or service] benefits and invite the recipient to schedule a meeting. The email should be professional and contain no more than 150 words."

  • Following up with a lead with whom you've already interacted
  • "Write a 130-word follow-up email to [recipient's name] with the main goal of providing additional value to the recipient and emphasizing my availability for potential questions. Start the email by referencing [your previous conversation, meeting, or phone call] and briefly summarize [main topics you've covered during those interactions]. Ask the recipient if they have questions, inform them about the steps that follow, and invite them to set up a meeting."

    ChatGPT email prompts for asking for a referral

    For many sales pros, asking for referrals is a great way to open doors to new opportunities. 🚪

    However, the process can be unpleasant if you're not careful about your approach, timing, and language. You don't want to target new customers who don't know you yet or to sound too pushy and create unnecessary pressure that could bounce back and result in losing accounts.

    ChatGPT can help you create clear and professional emails to ask your customers for referrals and avoid awkward situations.

    Here's an example of one such prompt:

    "Write an email to [the recipient's name] to ask for a referral. Express gratitude for the successful collaboration over the years and state [notable results the recipient has achieved thanks to your product or service]. Explain that I want to help others achieve similar results and ask if they know someone who might be interested. State that I'm looking for [type of business or person you're targeting and offer relevant details like job title or company size] and mention [benefits the recipient would get from the referral]."

    ChatGPT prompts for summarizing long emails

    Depending on the length of your lead lists and the size of your customer base, email communication can quickly become too time-consuming. You could be buried in emails, and ignoring them or replying to them days or weeks later could result in missed opportunities.

    ChatGPT can streamline email communication by summarizing lengthy emails for you and capturing the main points. By reviewing ChatGPT's email summaries, you can easily prioritize particular email responses, follow-ups, or objections to better organize your work. 🧘

    Here are two examples of prompts for summarizing emails:

  • Summarizing an email
  • "Create a short summary of the email I pasted below. Focus on the email's main points and key takeaways to help me understand the gist without reading it in its entirety." + paste the email below the prompt

  • Summarizing an email and asking ChatGPT to suggest the next step
  • "Write a summary of the email I pasted below. Focus on the email's main points, decisions, and action items. Advise on whether there are particular points I should prioritize and offer suggestions on how to reply to the email." + paste the email below the prompt

    ChatGPT email prompts for asking for feedback

    Asking customers for feedback helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses and improve your approach, enhancing customer satisfaction and retention in the long run. 📈

    To get honest, objective, and relevant feedback from your customers, you need a well-put request, and this is exactly what ChatGPT can help you with. Here are two examples of prompts you can paste into ChatGPT to get emails that focus on asking customers for feedback:

  • Asking for feedback after a purchase
  • "Write an email to [customer's name] to ask for feedback on their recent purchase. Thank the customer for their trust and ask about their opinion on [your product's quality, overall experience, customer service, or another aspect you're interested in]. State that their feedback is valuable for continuous improvement, and mention that I'm there for any questions or concerns."

  • Asking for feedback through a survey
  • "Create an email for [customer's name] to collect feedback on their [satisfaction with your company, recent purchase, or something else]. Express my gratitude for their business and ask them to fill out a short survey and rate [satisfaction with your product or service, your approach, or another aspect], stating that the primary purpose is improvement. Finish the email by restating I'm always available to answer their questions."

    Expert tips for writing better ChatGPT email prompts

    Prompt writing can be frustrating at first, especially if you don't have experience with ChatGPT and similar tools. In the beginning, you may have to refine your prompts more than a few times to get the desired output, which may take more time than planned. To minimize the need for adjusting and get the results you want from the get-go, follow these tips:

  • Offer details
  • Oversee ChatGPT's output
  • Practice with your team
  • Collect quality data
  • Offer details

    ChatGPT can't read your mind. Its output depends on your input. If you have an idea of what the output should look like, provide the chatbot with detailed and clear instructions on how to achieve the results you want. Here's what you can do:

  • Offer context: Include relevant details on your company, offer, and recipients or the desired tone, style, and length of the email to help ChatGPT figure out how to create the email.
  • Give ChatGPT a role: Help ChatGPT understand your perspective by assigning it a role. For example, you can start your prompts with "You're an experienced SDR" or "You're a sales pro at a B2B company."
  • State the main goal: Outline the primary purpose of your email to keep ChatGPT on the right track and minimize the need for adjustments.
  • Oversee ChatGPT's output

    While ChatGPT can be an incredible tool in the hands of a capable user, it's not perfect. The chatbot lacks emotional intelligence and can be tone-deaf in some situations. For this reason, human involvement is not only desirable but essential to ensure the chatbot's output makes sense and is context-appropriate. 📣

    Don't just copy and paste its output and send emails to your potential and new customers without checking. Review its work regularly and make adjustments to ensure high quality.

    Practice with your team

    To adopt ChatGPT without difficulty and maximize its functionalities, give yourself time to explore the chatbot. You can prepare training materials with your fellow team members and practice prompt writing to ensure everyone's comfortable using the chatbot in daily work. 👌

    Collect quality data

    Most of the prompts we've shared have placeholders where you need to insert a recipient's job title, line of work, needs, challenges, or another data point. Having accurate and relevant data readily available to fill the placeholders is the key to making your prompts effective. 💯

    This is because ChatGPT can't estimate whether a specific data point is accurate. The chatbot will use whatever you feed it. So, if you use inaccurate data in your ChatGPT prompts, you'll end up with emails that miss the mark, which won't leave a positive impression on your new and existing customers.

    To ensure you have quality data to integrate into your email prompts, use a sales tool with robust enrichment options. This way, you'll be able to collect the desired information from various sources within seconds. 

    If you'd like to maximize convenience and eliminate copying and pasting data from your sales tool to ChatGPT for each email you want to generate, find a tool that fully integrates with the chatbot. One such tool is Clay, a sales automation platform that offers everything you need to generate personalized emails based on high-quality data.

    Streamline email communication with Clay

    Clay is a top-rated sales automation with several AI features that allow you to automate work and improve efficiency.

    In terms of email communication, Clay offers an AI email writer that allows you to effortlessly create hyper-personalized messages for each recipient on your list. The AI writer is powered by OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT), and you use it just like ChatGPT. You provide the prompts, and the feature generates unique emails based on them.

    The major difference between using ChatGPT as a standalone solution and Clay's AI email writer lies in data. Clay takes the data you've collected on your recipients to create unique emails right within the platform. You choose which data points to include in your emails, and the AI email writer can quickly generate hundreds of personalized emails based on your input. ✍️

    Other AI-powered options you'll get with Clay

    Besides the AI email writer, Clay offers other AI-based options for streamlining various sales-related processes.

    One of them is the integration with OpenAI. With this integration, you can complete various ChatGPT-based actions without ever leaving the platform, such as generating text for your emails or creating images to include in your emails.

    If you want to automate data scraping and enrichment with the help of AI, Claygent is the way to go. This AI-based research agent can scan every corner of the internet and retrieve the info you need within seconds. Its superpowers come in handy for:

  • Deep lead targeting
  • Summarizing information
  • Getting answers to questions
  • Generating campaign ideas
  • Like ChatGPT, Claygent is operated by prompts, so you can easily tell it what info to focus on in its search. 🔍

    Streamlined data enrichment

    We've mentioned that the quality of data you use in your prompts dictates the output's efficiency. Clay ensures the data you base your emails on is fresh and accurate thanks to its integrations with over 50 data providers. You can tap into any integration within Clay, with no extra subscriptions or account setups. ✅

    With the integrations, you'll easily find the desired info on your leads, from general details like email addresses to specifics like podcast appearances. If you'd like to automate the enrichment process, opt for waterfall enrichment. The feature taps into multiple databases one by one to find the info you need. The search stops the second there's a valid match, so you don't waste any time or money. 💪

    Flexible & transparent pricing

    Clay offers a free forever plan that lets you explore its core features without any costs. To unlock extra functionalities, choose one of the paid plans:

    Clay plans are data credit-based. You use data credits to purchase data points and actions, optimizing costs. Each plan lets you choose from different data credit amounts to get the best value for your money. 💰

    There's no cap on the number of users each plan supports, so you can grow your team without restrictions.

    Clay has received excellent reviews so far, and thousands of people use it to streamline their entire sales campaigns. Here's what one user says about the benefits they've enjoyed since they started using Clay:

    Frequently asked questions

    What are the best ChatGPT prompts for sales emails?

    The most effective ChatGPT email prompts assign the chatbot a role (such as "You're an experienced SDR"), specify a word count, provide context about your company and offer, and state a clear goal for the email. The post covers ready-to-use prompt templates for customer discovery, cold outreach, follow-ups, referral requests, email summarization, and feedback collection.

    How do I make my ChatGPT email prompts more specific?

    Include as much relevant detail as possible: your company name, the recipient's job title and challenges, the desired tone, and the email's primary purpose. The prompts in this guide use bracketed placeholders for exactly this reason. The more accurate the data you insert into those placeholders, the better the output.

    Can ChatGPT write personalized emails at scale?

    ChatGPT can generate personalized emails quickly, but doing it at scale requires accurate data for each recipient. Tools like Clay integrate directly with OpenAI so you can pull enriched contact data into your prompts and generate hundreds of unique emails without manually copying and pasting between platforms.

    Does ChatGPT always produce email-ready output?

    Not always. ChatGPT lacks emotional intelligence and can be tone-deaf in certain situations. Always review its output before sending, and adjust for context, tone, and accuracy. Human oversight is essential, not optional.

    Crafting emails is an important task on every sales pro's to-do list. Whether you're introducing yourself to leads, notifying customers about a product launch, or following up on a conversation, your emails need to be engaging, informative, and personalized. 💌

    Writing such emails can take time and effort, especially if you have a lot of potential and existing customers. To improve your efficiency without compromising on email quality, you can use ChatGPT. The AI chatbot can automate email creation, but only if you use the correct prompts.

    Take it from us. We've used AI in sales campaigns to save at least four hours a day on emails that would otherwise require extensive research and writing. Now, we want to share the knowledge with other sales teams. In this guide, we'll offer the best ChatGPT email prompts, focusing on the most popular use cases in sales.

    TL;DR

    • ChatGPT email prompts can automate sales email writing across six key use cases: customer discovery, prospecting, follow-ups, referrals, email summarization, and feedback requests.
    • Effective prompts include a role assignment, clear context about your company and offer, a word count target, and a specific goal for the email.
    • The quality of data you feed into your prompts directly determines the quality of the output. Inaccurate placeholders produce emails that miss the mark.
    • Clay's AI email writer integrates directly with OpenAI, letting you generate hundreds of personalized emails from enriched data without copying and pasting between tools.

    Why you should use ChatGPT prompts for writing emails

    Here are a few benefits of leveraging ChatGPT prompts for email writing in sales:

    Best ChatGPT email prompts for every sales scenario

    You can use ChatGPT email writing prompts for various scenarios and sales pipeline stages. We've compiled a list of examples covering:

  • Customer discovery
  • Sales prospecting
  • Following up
  • Asking for a referral
  • Summarizing long emails
  • Asking for feedback
  • ChatGPT email prompts for customer discovery

    Customer discovery is an imperative presales process that contributes to the overall success of your sales campaigns.

    During this phase, you collect information about potential customers to understand their needs and challenges. These insights can later help you qualify leads more precisely, assign points to prioritize specific accounts, and reach the correct lead with the right message. 

    ChatGPT can make customer discovery easier and generate emails that help you gather the exact info you need. Here are some prompts you can use for different scenarios:

  • Scheduling a customer discovery call
  • "You're an SDR who wants to learn more about a lead via a phone call. Write an email that contains no more than 150 words and expresses interest in your lead's needs and challenges. Explain that you work for [your company], which specializes in [line of work], and offer some general info on [your product or service]. Finish the email by inviting them on a brief call."

  • Inviting the recipient to participate in a survey
  • "Write a customer discovery email that doesn't exceed 120 words. The goal of the email is to obtain more information about the recipient to use for lead qualification purposes. The email should invite the recipient to participate in a survey about [the survey's subject]. Explain that the survey is short and easy to fill out. Finish the email by thanking the recipient for their participation."

    ChatGPT email prompts for sales prospecting

    Sales prospecting is a key stage in your campaigns as this is where you introduce your offer for the very first time and try to engage your prospects. The more efficient the prospecting is, the more prospects you'll be able to add to your funnel and ultimately enhance conversions.

    Since the stakes are high, writing sales prospecting emails is no joke. You have to be precise, hit the right note with the recipients, make the emails stand out, and clearly state your offer's unique value. ChatGPT can lend a helping hand here. Based on your prompts, it can write unique sales prospecting emails that will generate interest. 👌

    Here are a few examples of sales prospecting prompts:

  • Reaching out to a cold prospect and addressing their challenges
  • "Write a cold outreach email introducing myself [your name and job title] and explaining how [your product or service] can [a few notable benefits of your product or service]. Address the prospect's challenges, specifically [the recipient's challenge], and explain how exactly [your product or service] can help. Finish the email by asking the prospect to schedule a quick call to learn more."

  • Reaching out to a cold prospect to highlight your product's unique value
  • "Write a 130-word cold outreach email that targets [the prospect's job title and line of work]. The email aims to highlight the unique value of [your product or service]. More specifically, focus on [your product's key characteristics] and explain how [the prospect] can benefit from it and stand out from their competition. Wrap up the email by inviting the recipient to schedule a call."

    ChatGPT email prompts for following up with prospects

    Email follow-ups are excellent for lead nurturing, and they allow you to provide additional value to your recipients. However, writing them can be tricky because you need to:

  • Pay attention to your tone. You don't want to be pushy, but you also don't want to seem uninterested.
  • Understand your lead's circumstances and the context. Follow-ups are based on and often mention previous interactions with your leads, so each email is unique.
  • ChatGPT prompts can automate writing follow-up messages for leads. Here are two prompt examples you can copy and, if necessary, adjust to your circumstances:

  • Following up with a lead who ignored your cold outreach email
  • "Generate a follow-up email to [recipient's name] as a response to my previous email focusing on [the first email's topic]. State that I'm aware that the recipient has a busy schedule, and briefly discuss the gist of the email, which was [a few details mentioned in the first email]. Restate [your product or service] benefits and invite the recipient to schedule a meeting. The email should be professional and contain no more than 150 words."

  • Following up with a lead with whom you've already interacted
  • "Write a 130-word follow-up email to [recipient's name] with the main goal of providing additional value to the recipient and emphasizing my availability for potential questions. Start the email by referencing [your previous conversation, meeting, or phone call] and briefly summarize [main topics you've covered during those interactions]. Ask the recipient if they have questions, inform them about the steps that follow, and invite them to set up a meeting."

    ChatGPT email prompts for asking for a referral

    For many sales pros, asking for referrals is a great way to open doors to new opportunities. 🚪

    However, the process can be unpleasant if you're not careful about your approach, timing, and language. You don't want to target new customers who don't know you yet or to sound too pushy and create unnecessary pressure that could bounce back and result in losing accounts.

    ChatGPT can help you create clear and professional emails to ask your customers for referrals and avoid awkward situations.

    Here's an example of one such prompt:

    "Write an email to [the recipient's name] to ask for a referral. Express gratitude for the successful collaboration over the years and state [notable results the recipient has achieved thanks to your product or service]. Explain that I want to help others achieve similar results and ask if they know someone who might be interested. State that I'm looking for [type of business or person you're targeting and offer relevant details like job title or company size] and mention [benefits the recipient would get from the referral]."

    ChatGPT prompts for summarizing long emails

    Depending on the length of your lead lists and the size of your customer base, email communication can quickly become too time-consuming. You could be buried in emails, and ignoring them or replying to them days or weeks later could result in missed opportunities.

    ChatGPT can streamline email communication by summarizing lengthy emails for you and capturing the main points. By reviewing ChatGPT's email summaries, you can easily prioritize particular email responses, follow-ups, or objections to better organize your work. 🧘

    Here are two examples of prompts for summarizing emails:

  • Summarizing an email
  • "Create a short summary of the email I pasted below. Focus on the email's main points and key takeaways to help me understand the gist without reading it in its entirety." + paste the email below the prompt

  • Summarizing an email and asking ChatGPT to suggest the next step
  • "Write a summary of the email I pasted below. Focus on the email's main points, decisions, and action items. Advise on whether there are particular points I should prioritize and offer suggestions on how to reply to the email." + paste the email below the prompt

    ChatGPT email prompts for asking for feedback

    Asking customers for feedback helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses and improve your approach, enhancing customer satisfaction and retention in the long run. 📈

    To get honest, objective, and relevant feedback from your customers, you need a well-put request, and this is exactly what ChatGPT can help you with. Here are two examples of prompts you can paste into ChatGPT to get emails that focus on asking customers for feedback:

  • Asking for feedback after a purchase
  • "Write an email to [customer's name] to ask for feedback on their recent purchase. Thank the customer for their trust and ask about their opinion on [your product's quality, overall experience, customer service, or another aspect you're interested in]. State that their feedback is valuable for continuous improvement, and mention that I'm there for any questions or concerns."

  • Asking for feedback through a survey
  • "Create an email for [customer's name] to collect feedback on their [satisfaction with your company, recent purchase, or something else]. Express my gratitude for their business and ask them to fill out a short survey and rate [satisfaction with your product or service, your approach, or another aspect], stating that the primary purpose is improvement. Finish the email by restating I'm always available to answer their questions."

    Expert tips for writing better ChatGPT email prompts

    Prompt writing can be frustrating at first, especially if you don't have experience with ChatGPT and similar tools. In the beginning, you may have to refine your prompts more than a few times to get the desired output, which may take more time than planned. To minimize the need for adjusting and get the results you want from the get-go, follow these tips:

  • Offer details
  • Oversee ChatGPT's output
  • Practice with your team
  • Collect quality data
  • Offer details

    ChatGPT can't read your mind. Its output depends on your input. If you have an idea of what the output should look like, provide the chatbot with detailed and clear instructions on how to achieve the results you want. Here's what you can do:

  • Offer context: Include relevant details on your company, offer, and recipients or the desired tone, style, and length of the email to help ChatGPT figure out how to create the email.
  • Give ChatGPT a role: Help ChatGPT understand your perspective by assigning it a role. For example, you can start your prompts with "You're an experienced SDR" or "You're a sales pro at a B2B company."
  • State the main goal: Outline the primary purpose of your email to keep ChatGPT on the right track and minimize the need for adjustments.
  • Oversee ChatGPT's output

    While ChatGPT can be an incredible tool in the hands of a capable user, it's not perfect. The chatbot lacks emotional intelligence and can be tone-deaf in some situations. For this reason, human involvement is not only desirable but essential to ensure the chatbot's output makes sense and is context-appropriate. 📣

    Don't just copy and paste its output and send emails to your potential and new customers without checking. Review its work regularly and make adjustments to ensure high quality.

    Practice with your team

    To adopt ChatGPT without difficulty and maximize its functionalities, give yourself time to explore the chatbot. You can prepare training materials with your fellow team members and practice prompt writing to ensure everyone's comfortable using the chatbot in daily work. 👌

    Collect quality data

    Most of the prompts we've shared have placeholders where you need to insert a recipient's job title, line of work, needs, challenges, or another data point. Having accurate and relevant data readily available to fill the placeholders is the key to making your prompts effective. 💯

    This is because ChatGPT can't estimate whether a specific data point is accurate. The chatbot will use whatever you feed it. So, if you use inaccurate data in your ChatGPT prompts, you'll end up with emails that miss the mark, which won't leave a positive impression on your new and existing customers.

    To ensure you have quality data to integrate into your email prompts, use a sales tool with robust enrichment options. This way, you'll be able to collect the desired information from various sources within seconds. 

    If you'd like to maximize convenience and eliminate copying and pasting data from your sales tool to ChatGPT for each email you want to generate, find a tool that fully integrates with the chatbot. One such tool is Clay, a sales automation platform that offers everything you need to generate personalized emails based on high-quality data.
