Write a sales playbook section and coaching guide
Documents a repeatable sales motion and how managers coach it.
The prompt
Role: Act as a sales manager codifying what good looks like into a team playbook.
Context: Play topic: [PLAY_TOPIC] (e.g. multi-threading a stalled deal). Our sales motion: [MOTION]. Common failure mode this play fixes: [FAILURE_MODE]. Tools/assets available: [ASSETS]. Team experience level: [TEAM_LEVEL].
Task: Write the play: when to use it (entry criteria), the step-by-step actions, the assets/templates at each step, what good vs poor execution looks like, the metrics that show it is working, and 4 coaching questions a manager can ask in a 1:1 to reinforce it.
Format: Sections: When to use | Steps | Assets | Good vs poor | Metrics | Coaching questions. ~500 words.
Verification: Flag any step that assumes an asset or permission the team may not have.
Validation: Check the play against a new rep: could they follow it without you in the room? Simplify the step that would trip them up.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RCTFVV structure (Role, Context, Task, Format, Verification, Validation). RCTFVV extends RCTF with two checking steps. Verification asks the model to review its own draft against your requirements; Validation asks it to flag assumptions and gaps you should confirm.
