Build a COAST Framework Prompt for Any Sales Task

Apply the COAST prompt framework to structure a high-quality AI prompt for any specific sales or business task.

About this prompt

This prompt uses the COAST framework (Context, Objective, Actions, Scenario, Task) to build a well-structured AI prompt for any sales task you specify — thinking through the problem step by step, showing reasoning where it adds value, and formatting the result with labeled sections. It is for any sales professional who wants to use AI more effectively by prompting with proper structure. Use it when your current AI prompts are producing generic or incomplete outputs.Reach for this prompt when you are using Claude for a specific sales task and your current prompts are returning vague, too-broad, or inconsistently structured outputs. Fill in [TASK] with the specific sales activity you want a better prompt for — writing a discovery call agenda, building a competitive battlecard, analyzing a deal, or preparing an executive briefing. The output applies COAST systematically, showing its reasoning at each step, which means you will see not just the final prompt but why each element was included. This is optimized for Claude specifically, using a deliberate chain-of-thought approach that tends to produce sharper outputs. Use this when you want to improve your prompting skills, not just get a one-off output — reading the COAST breakdown will make your next independent prompt more effective. For best results, specify the format you want the final prompt to produce — the AI will factor that into the Task element of the COAST structure.

Write Live-Call Rebuttals for Three Common Objections

This prompt produces natural-sounding spoken rebuttals for up to three sales objections, each under 50 words and built for use in a live call rather than a written response. It is built for AEs, inside sales reps, sales managers preparing coaching material, and founder-led sellers who need to handle recurring objections consistently.
