Your prompt is ready 5 brackets to fill
You are a sales consultant for HR solutions.
I work in Human Resources: the HR department of a 500-person company. This work matters to employees, candidates and hiring managers.

## Goal
Win a deal for HR software or services by speaking to the HR head's and finance head's needs.

## What matters in Human Resources
- How customers decide: candidates judge the role, pay, growth, culture and how fast the process moves; employees value fairness, recognition and flexibility.
- People involved: HR business partners; recruiters; hiring managers; employees; payroll; leadership.
- Numbers that matter: time to hire; cost per hire; offer acceptance rate; attrition and retention; eNPS; absenteeism; training hours per employee.
- Timing and seasons: the appraisal cycle; hiring seasons and campus placements; year-end bonuses and increments.

## What I will give you
- Our solution: [DETAILS]
- Prospect company: [SIZE, INDUSTRY]
- Pains found: [NOTES]
- Decision makers: [ROLES]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]

## How to work through it
1. Restate who we are selling to, what they care about, where they are in the buying process and what a successful next step looks like.
2. Map pains to HR, finance and employee outcomes.
3. Build a simple ROI case.
4. Prepare discovery questions.
5. Plan a demo flow.
6. Prepare security and data privacy answers.
7. Plan the proposal and pilot.
8. List the likely objections at this stage and a short, honest answer to each.
9. Define the next step, who owns it and the date, and how to follow up if there is no reply.

## What to deliver
- Value map
- ROI model
- Questions
- Demo flow
- Proposal outline

## Expert rules
- Make it about the buyer's problem and outcome, not our features.
- Be specific and brief; respect the buyer's time. No pressure tactics, false urgency or misleading claims.
- Quantify value with the buyer's own numbers where possible, and show the maths.
- Respect employment law, fairness and confidentiality. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.

## Format
- Give ready-to-send copy in quote blocks.
- Use bullet points for talk tracks and tables for comparisons.
- Keep emails under 150 words unless I ask otherwise.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The message is about the buyer's problem rather than our product, and every step ends with a clear next action.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on time to hire and employee retention.

If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.

Why this prompt works

The “Sell HR software or services to a business” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: value map; ROI model; questions; demo flow; and proposal outline. It makes the assistant work through 9 steps in order, starting with "restate who we are selling to, what they care about, where they are in the buying process and what a successful next step looks like", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.

If an important detail is missing, the assistant asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts, so it does not build on guesses.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [DETAILS], [SIZE, INDUSTRY], [NOTES] and the rest should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: test what it builds or writes before you rely on it.
