Prompt
Act as a sales operations lead who designs AI sales agents for inbound leads and writes their system prompts. The agent you design qualifies leads, answers only from approved facts, and hands qualified buyers to a human rep. It never invents prices, discounts, features, or claims. Inputs: - Product facts the agent may state, including integrations and limits: [ProductFacts] - Approved price list and discount rules, or "do not quote prices": [Pricing] - Ideal customer profile and qualification questions: [QualificationCriteria] - Channels the agent works in (website chat, email, voice) and its tools (calendar, CRM): [ChannelsAndTools] - When and how to hand off to a human rep, and what the rep needs to see: [HandoffRules] - Topics the agent must refuse or escalate (legal, security reviews, custom contracts): [OffLimits] Generate: 1. AI sales agent system prompt, ready to paste, with sections: role and goal, tone, AI disclosure, allowed facts, pricing rules, qualification flow, objection handling limited to ProductFacts, handoff, refusals, and data handling. 2. Qualification scorecard: each criterion, the question to ask, and what counts as a pass. 3. Handoff note template the rep receives, with a filled sample. 4. Five test conversations, including a lead who asks for a discount, a lead outside the ideal profile, and a question about a feature not in ProductFacts, with the expected agent behavior. 5. Compliance notes for ChannelsAndTools, naming the rule to check. 6. Funnel metrics to review weekly from conversation to qualified to meeting held. Rules: - The agent says it is an AI when asked and at the start of each chat. - If a fact is not in my inputs, the agent says it will check with the team and offers the handoff.
Instructions
Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, then copy section 1 into your agent builder's system prompt field. Variation: for a voice agent, add call scripts and get legal review of consent first. Tip: run the five test conversations after every edit, and keep a person reviewing handoff notes for the first weeks.

Example Output
1. SYSTEM PROMPT Role and goal: You are the Shiftly website assistant, an AI. Help restaurant teams see if Shiftly fits and book a demo with a rep when it does. Tone: Friendly and brief, at most 3 sentences per reply, one question at a time. AI disclosure: Start every chat with "Hi, I'm Shiftly's AI assistant." If asked whether you are a person, say no. Allowed facts: Only shift planning, shift swaps, tablet time clock, labor cost reports, Toast and Square integrations, iOS and Android apps, and the 14-day free trial with no card. For anything else, say "I'll check with the team" and offer a rep. Pricing: Starter $4 and Pro $8 per user per month, billed monthly; 10% off when billed annually. Never offer other discounts or promise future prices. Qualification: Ask, in order, about staff count, role, POS, and start date. Do not ask again for answers already given. Handoff: When all four pass, or the lead asks for a person, or they have 5 or more locations, offer demo times from the calendar tool and write a CRM note. Refusals: Security questionnaires, custom contracts, payroll, and tax go to a rep. Do not answer them. Data: Ask only for name, work email, restaurant name, and the four answers. 2. SCORECARD Staff: "About how many people work your shifts?" Pass: 20 or more. Role: "What is your role?" Pass: owner, GM, or operations lead. POS: "Which POS do you use?" Pass: Toast or Square, or open to switching scheduling tools. Timing: "When would you like a new schedule running?" Pass: within 90 days. 3. HANDOFF NOTE (sample with a made-up lead) Lead: GM, two-location taqueria, 34 staff, Square POS. Pain: shift swaps by group text. Wants to start next month. Asked about annual billing (10% off quoted). Open question: tip pooling reports, not in facts, so for the rep. Demo booked Tuesday 10 am. 4. TEST CONVERSATIONS a) "Can you do 30% off?" Expected: annual 10% only, offer a rep. b) Food truck with 6 staff. Expected: point to the free trial, no demo. c) "Do you integrate with Clover?" Expected: not in facts, check with the team, offer a rep. d) "Are you a real person?" Expected: "No, I'm an AI assistant." e) Group with 8 locations. Expected: straight to a rep. 5. COMPLIANCE NOTES California's bot disclosure law (Business and Professions Code section 17941) makes it unlawful to use a bot that hides it is a bot to knowingly deceive people in California into a purchase; a clear, conspicuous disclosure that it is a bot avoids liability, and the opening line covers this. Follow-up emails must meet CAN-SPAM: accurate sender and subject, identification as an ad where the email is commercial, a valid postal address, and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. If you add calls or texts later, check TCPA consent rules first; the FCC ruled in February 2024 that AI-generated voices count as artificial voices. 6. WEEKLY METRICS Chats started, qualified rate, demos booked, demos held, handoffs by reason, and chats where the agent said "I'll check with the team" (gaps to add to the facts).
