TL;DR
What did u/Tennouheika use Claude for?
Reps use Claude to research a prospect before a call, run a weekly news digest, and role-play a tough buyer. They say it pulls the research into one spot instead of doing each step by hand.
What they did
The rep uses a Claude sales skill to research the person and company before a call, including relevant news. Every Sunday they run a digest on their top clients and the manufacturers they work with. They also use it for quick slide decks and CRM questions, and turn call transcripts into follow-up emails and reports for their technical team.
How it went
They say it pulls the research into one spot instead of doing each step by hand.

Try it yourself
Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.
I have a sales call tomorrow with [name, title] at [company]. Summarize their role, what the company does, and any news from the last 90 days that could matter to [what I sell]. Then play a skeptical buyer who thinks we're too expensive and push back on my answers.

- u/crsabo (Reddit, Jun 20, 2026): Asks the AI to play "a skeptical CFO" and rehearses the call, then pastes post-call notes to ask what might stall the deal. AI tool not named.
- u/Wesleyspipes (Reddit, Jul 31, 2026): Clients often refuse recording, so they photograph handwritten notes. Claude updates the client file and drafts the follow-up, and they run outputs through ChatGPT for tone.
