Identify new business opportunities

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Log the lead from the recent tech conference: 'Innovate Solutions,' contact Alex Rodriguez, email alex.r@innovatesolutions.com, interested in our enterprise software. Assign it to John Smith for follow-up by next Tuesday.

Before I start cold calling the list of prospects from the industry event, help me score them based on their company size and recent funding rounds. I want to focus my efforts on the most promising leads first, so I'm not wasting time on unlikely fits.

A promising new lead just went completely silent after our initial demo.
After a really positive initial demo with Emily from DataStream, she's gone completely dark for two weeks despite my follow-up emails. We identified a clear pain point they have, and I thought she was genuinely interested. I'm afraid I might have said something wrong or that a competitor got in. What's the best way to diagnose why she's silent without being pushy, and what's my best next move to re-engage her, or at least understand if the opportunity is dead?

I frequently miss key signals about new business potential during casual conversations.
I often walk away from networking events or casual client chats feeling like I missed opportunities to identify new business. I hear interesting tidbits but don't connect them to our services until much later. What habit can I change to better recognize and capture potential business opportunities in real-time during informal interactions, so I can act on them more effectively?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Salesforce's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
