About this prompt

This prompt generates the Problem Statement section of a sales proposal, structured to make the prospect feel understood while quantifying the business impact of their challenge. It is for AEs and AMs drafting proposals after discovery. Use it when you need to write a problem statement that goes beyond surface-level pain and addresses the root cause the prospect cares about.A weak problem statement restates what the prospect already knows without showing depth of understanding — and economic buyers notice immediately. This prompt generates a sub-250-word section that mirrors the prospect's own language, quantifies the cost or risk of the problem using the numbers they shared, addresses the root cause rather than just the symptom, and transitions naturally into a call to action. Paste your discovery notes into [PASTE NOTES] and any specific numbers the prospect shared into [METRICS]. The tone is set to empathetic and precise — this is not the place for feature talk or solution pitching, which belong in the next section. Use this prompt for formal proposals, not for email follow-ups or one-page summaries where a lighter touch is appropriate. For best results, include both the surface-level complaint the prospect articulated and any root-cause signals you picked up in the call — the AI will weave both into a statement that reads as if you were listening carefully rather than just taking notes.
