# Claude sales prospecting prompts

Six prompts from Layrcake's guide "How to Use Claude for Sales Prospecting" (https://layrcake.dev/guides/how-to-use-claude-for-sales-prospecting).
Each one is based on a real run on 2–3 October 2026, with budgets set for current prices. Swap the parts in [brackets] for your own, keep the budget line.
Works in Claude with a go-to-market data connector, such as Layrcake (https://layrcake.dev/connect).

## 1. Who's buying right now
Find [country] [industry] companies with [50 to 500] staff that are showing buying signals right now: hiring for [sales] roles, or raised funding recently. Give me the 5 strongest, with the signal, its date and a one-line reason each is worth contacting this week. Budget: 60 credits.

## 2. A one-page call brief
I have a call tomorrow with the [head of sales] at [Company] ([company domain]). Give me a one-page brief: what the company does and how it's doing, anything recent worth mentioning, who I'm likely speaking to and what they've been posting about, and three smart questions to ask. Budget: 35 credits.

## 3. Buyers fed up with a competitor
We sell [what you sell] for [who you sell to]. Find recent posts on LinkedIn, X or Reddit from people frustrated with the [category] tool they use today ([Competitor A], [Competitor B] or similar). Show me the 5 best, why each is a good lead, and how you'd open a conversation without being pushy. Budget: 20 credits.

## 4. Warm leads from one popular post
[Person] posts a lot about [topic], and [your buyers] follow them. Look at their recent LinkedIn posts (their profile is [LinkedIn profile URL]), pick the one with the most reactions and comments, and find everyone who engaged with it whose headline says [title 1], [title 2] or [title 3]. Don't just sample it, I want all of them. Those are my warm leads. Budget: [about half a credit per person who engaged] credits.

## 5. The right person at each account
Who runs [sales] at each of these companies? I want one person per company with a verified work email: [domain 1], [domain 2], [domain 3], [domain 4], [domain 5]. Budget: 40 credits.

## 6. Who on my list to contact first
Here are [6] people on my list. Who's been active on LinkedIn lately, and what about? Rank them by who I should contact first this week, with a suggested first line for each. Budget: 20 credits.
