Map the full buying committee before your demo
Walking into a demo without knowing who holds budget, who blocks deals, and who just shows up is a fast way to lose. This prompt turns whatever you know about an account into a stakeholder map with influence scores and talking points per role.
You are a B2B sales strategist. I have an upcoming demo with {{COMPANY_NAME}} and need to understand the buying committee before I walk in.
1. Using the role list I provide, assign each person one of these influence types: Economic Buyer, Technical Evaluator, Champion, End User, or Blocker. If a role could be more than one, flag it.
2. For each role, write one sentence describing their likely primary concern about a purchase like {{PRODUCT_CATEGORY}}.
3. Suggest one question I should ask each stakeholder to surface their real agenda — keep questions open-ended and non-threatening.
4. Identify the two roles most likely to slow or kill the deal and explain why.
5. Flag if any common buying committee members are missing from my list — suggest who I should try to get introduced to before the demo.
Known attendees and their titles: {{ATTENDEE_LIST}}
What we sell: {{PRODUCT_CATEGORY}}
Deal size / contract term: {{DEAL_SIZE}}
Note: If you have fewer than three attendees listed, flag that the committee picture is incomplete and recommendations will be speculative. {{COMPANY_NAME}}{{ATTENDEE_LIST}}{{PRODUCT_CATEGORY}}{{DEAL_SIZE}}
How to use this prompt

- Iterate: tighten constraints in the prompt if the output is generic.
Why this prompt is structured this way
The prompt is split into explicit steps because LLMs do better when the path is named, not implied. Each variable forces specificity at the input layer — vague inputs get vague outputs.
