CONTEXT: WHY THIS MATTERS

Most sales reps dabble in AI but never unlock its full power. They paste in a transcript, get a decent email draft, then spend 20 minutes rewriting it. Result? No real time saved.

But there’s a smarter way: using structured prompts + dedicated GPT projects for high-leverage tasks like follow-up emails, Salesforce updates, and territory planning. When done right, AI becomes a legit time-saver—not just a novelty.

“By setting up structured prompts and custom GPT projects, I now save at least 10 hours a week.”

MISTAKE #1: Winging It with Generic Prompts

‍If you don’t give AI a real role and clear instructions, you’ll waste time fixing mediocre outputs.
Most reps type into ChatGPT like it’s Google: “write a follow-up email” or “summarize this call.” It works… sort of. But if you want outputs that are polished and actually reflect your tone and process, you need a better system.

Use tools like Prompt Cowboy (promptcowboy.ai) to take lazy prompts and convert them into structured, detailed instructions—fast. It fixes typos, clarifies intent, and builds context so GPT gives you answers you can use immediately.

MISTAKE #2: Not Building Dedicated GPTs for Repeat Tasks

‍If it’s a repeatable task, make it a dedicated project.
Instead of starting a new chat every time, create a custom GPT or project that’s trained for specific jobs:

• Discovery call summary → follow-up email + exec summary + Salesforce notes
  
• Testimonial transcript → nurture email for email sequence
  
• Account list → territory planning spreadsheet based on past prioritization logic
  

By creating a project and storing example inputs/outputs, you get consistently strong results without babysitting the output every time.

MISTAKE #3: Ignoring the $20 GPT-4 Subscription

‍If you’re serious about workflow automation, you need the paid plan.
The $20/month GPT-4 plan unlocks the ability to create and store custom GPTs. This is where the real time savings happen. You can:

• Upload a discovery call transcript
  
• Have it generate Salesforce updates and BANT/MEDDIC summaries
  
• Use it to auto-draft follow-up emails based on your tone and templates
  

No more writing the same email 30 times. Set it up once, and you’re done.

MISTAKE #4: Failing to Provide Examples in Prompts

‍If your GPT has no examples, it has no direction.
A good prompt says what to do. A great prompt shows what good looks like. Whether you're creating a bot for call recaps, cold emails, or demo follow-ups, include high-performing examples in the prompt.

The AI will mimic structure, tone, and style better than if you just tell it what to do. This is especially important when building GPTs that reflect your brand or tone of voice.

POWER TOOL: PROMPT COWBOY

‍Use Prompt Cowboy to instantly upgrade any lazy prompt into a structured one.
It’s free. It’s fast. It changes everything. Just type what you want (even with typos), and Prompt Cowboy will turn it into a prompt that sounds like a seasoned pro wrote it.

Example:

“Need follow-up email to Salesforce CTO from today’s 1hr call.”
→ Prompt Cowboy turns this into a structured, role-aware prompt with formatting, goals, tone, and audience all built in.
