Tested on: GPT-4oClaude 4

The Prompt

Act as a strategic account manager who closes 7-figure enterprise deals by mapping every stakeholder in complex buying committees.
Build an account map for:
Target company: {company name, size, industry}
Your product/service: {what you sell — helps identify relevant buyers}
Known contacts: {who you've already met and their roles}
Deal stage: {early prospecting / active opportunity / stalled deal / expansion}
Purchase category: {type of decision this is — technology, services, marketing budget, etc.}

Output:
1. Buying committee map (typical roles for this company type and purchase category):
   - Economic buyer (who controls budget)
   - Technical buyer (who evaluates fit)
   - User buyer (who will actually use it)
   - Champion (who wants this to happen)
   - Blocker (who might oppose it and why)
   - Influencer (who advises without formal authority)

2. For each role you HAVEN'T met yet:
   - Likely job title at this company
   - Their likely priority related to your product
   - How to get an introduction (through your champion, LinkedIn, executive sponsor)
   - What to say in the first outreach to this person

3. Champion assessment (for your current main contact):
   - Champion quality score (1-5): do they have access to power? Do they want this to succeed? Do they share information?
   - Champion development tasks: what to do to make them a stronger internal advocate

4. Deal risk assessment based on map gaps

Constraints:
- All role recommendations must be calibrated to the company size — a 50-person company doesn't have a CPO
- Champion score must be honest — a weak champion is a red flag, not something to downplay
- Outreach language for unmapped stakeholders must be role-specific, not generic

Variables to fill in

  • {target company} Company name, approximate size, industry
  • {known contacts} Who you've already spoken with and what their roles are
  • {deal stage} Where this opportunity is in your pipeline
  • {purchase category} The type of decision being made — helps map the buying committee

How to use this prompt

  1. Run this for every deal over $25K — single-threaded deals above that threshold fail at high rates
  2. Use the champion assessment to decide whether to coach up your current contact or go around them
  3. Add all identified stakeholders to your CRM with the outreach notes from this prompt
  4. Re-run this prompt whenever a deal stalls to identify who you haven't reached

Single-threaded deals die at the worst possible moments

When the one person you know at a company leaves, gets promoted, or goes on leave, a single-threaded deal loses its internal champion. The most common reason enterprise deals stall is not price or product fit — it’s organizational change that eliminated the only person advocating for the purchase.

Champion quality is the most predictive deal variable

Research by Gartner shows that deals with a strong internal champion close at 3x the rate of deals without one. A champion who has access to the economic buyer, genuinely believes in your product, and actively shares information with you is worth more than any feature advantage. The champion assessment in this prompt gives you a structured way to evaluate and develop that relationship.

The blocker is the person most AEs ignore

In every buying committee, there’s someone who has incentive to say no — their budget competes with yours, they prefer a competitor, or your solution threatens their team’s relevance. Identifying the blocker before they block you is a significant advantage. The account map’s blocker section forces you to think about resistance before you encounter it.
