About this prompt

This prompt helps AEs and sales engineers construct a complete ROI business case using discovery notes and internal benchmark data. It produces an executive summary, a current-state cost analysis, a three-scenario projection table, and pre-built responses to the CFO objections that most frequently kill late-stage deals. Use it when a deal is moving toward economic buyer involvement and you need to put a defensible number in front of finance.Most ROI models fail with CFOs because they're built on undefended assumptions or reverse-engineered from the deal size rather than the customer's actual cost structure. This prompt builds upward from the customer's stated pain: it uses your benchmark data and discovery notes to construct a current-state cost analysis, then projects value across conservative, likely, and optimistic scenarios with explicit assumptions the rep can defend in the room. Key variables to populate: [COMPANY] with the account name, [NAME/SIZE/INDUSTRY] in the discovery section, [VERBATIM DESCRIPTION OF THEIR PAIN] using the customer's exact language, [RELEVANT KPIs] from the call, [BUDGET RANGE], and [DEAL SIZE]. Use this prompt when you're preparing for an economic buyer meeting or a formal procurement process — not in early discovery, where a rough value estimate is more appropriate than a full business case document. For best results, use the customer's exact language in the pain description field: the executive summary output mirrors their vocabulary back to them, which dramatically improves how credible the document feels to the buyer's internal stakeholders.
