🎯 What it does
This GPT helps AEs, AMs, and revenue leaders prep for sales calls with the precision of an enterprise enablement team. It generates role-specific insights, a custom narrative arc, discovery questions, likely objections, and follow-up next steps – all based on funnel stage, persona, and deal motion.
Whether you're prepping for a 30-minute discovery call, a high-stakes pricing conversation, or a technical evaluation, this assistant gives you a fast, focused call plan that increases your win rate and builds deal momentum.
🏢 Real-world example: Vanta
A Vanta AE uses this GPT to prepare for a pricing review call with a procurement lead and IT stakeholder. The GPT suggests the exact objections likely to come up (“why not build in-house?”), recommends a 6-slide deck outline, and proposes a follow-up asset bundle with a security whitepaper and customer proof.
