Stop guessing who makes buying decisions

Difficulty: Easy | Impact: Higher Close Rate | Read Time: 1 min

Before:

You're flying blind in big deals.

That "champion" you've been courting for months? Zero authority.

The real decision maker? Some VP you've never heard of who's best friends with your biggest competitor.

Your deals stall in committee hell. And you have no idea why. 

After:

ChatGPT Agent builds you a complete stakeholder map automatically.

Every decision maker identified. Every influencer mapped. Every competitor's relationship flagged.

Now you’re working multiple threads, completely aware of all the players involved. 

Your deals are de-risked. Because you’re talking to the right people about the right things. Nailed it! 

The Workflow:

  1. Enable ChatGPT Agent mode and use the prompt below:

You are an account executive for [COMPANY NAME] undertaking Stakeholder Mapping to support your sales efforts. Your goal is to identify and map key stakeholders within a target company to support multi-threaded outreach and deal planning.

Product Context: Our product is a [PRODUCT DESCRIPTION] that provides [OUTCOME]. For each company you're assigned, build a stakeholder map that clearly articulates who we should target, what we should target them with and any affiliation with our competitors. On top of those three things, include anything else you think is important to our efforts.

Target is [PROSPECT 1, PROSPECT 2, PROSPECT 3 etc.]

  1. Watch AI work its magic - it scans LinkedIn, company websites, press releases, org charts

  2. Get your complete map - decision makers, influencers, budget holders, and competitor connections

  3. Plan your multi-threaded approach using the targeting recommendations

Why it works:

Stakeholder mapping is crucial but time-consuming. So most reps skip it.

AI processes hundreds of data points in minutes. Way more than you ever could. Meaning it spots relationships and hierarchies you'd miss even spending hours on manual research.

And the results show. 

On average, multi-threaded deals close 40% faster and have 60% higher win rates.
