AI-Powered Research: Company, Persona, Trigger
Day 10 of 30 · B2B Sales 2026 Masterclass
Build a research prompt pack and a one-page account brief so every outreach has 3 facts + 1 trigger.
Learning Goal
- Create AI prompts (company, persona, trigger).
- Create a one-page account brief template.
- Fill 2 account briefs from your target list.
Why It Matters
- AI speeds research, but structure drives accuracy.
- 3 facts + 1 trigger = relevant, concise outreach.
- Briefs prevent duplication and errors across the team.
Explanation
Prompt pack
- Company: product, market, growth, news.
- Persona: role, responsibilities, KPIs, pains.
- Trigger: funding, hiring, pricing change, new product/market.
Account brief
- One page: short company summary, 3 facts, 1 trigger, relevant pain, recommended next step.
Examples
Good: Brief with 3 facts (product, funding, new market), 1 trigger (hiring revops), recommended next step.
Bad: Just paste the website, no trigger, no next step.
