founders and sales teams: you need a Grok @bot helping with your prospecting the setup matters more than the prompts. give it the right buyer profile, live signals, and clear rules. here’s how to set it up (7 points): (P.S. i explain why this matters at the bottom) 1. give it your business context first. your website, your offer, and examples of good customers. ask it to explain who buys and why. if the answer could describe 10 other companies, fix that before moving on 2. define your buyer once: job titles, company sizes, industries, locations, and exclusions. “find companies that need us” leaves too much room for guessing. include who you don’t want, too 3. choose signals that connect to the problem you solve. hiring sales reps matters if you help ramp new reps. a new VP of sales matters if you help build pipeline. a funding round doesn’t automatically make someone a buyer 4. start with a daily lead check: “which prospects fit our buyer profile, and what changed recently?” ask for the reason behind each recommendation. you should be able to explain why this person, why now 5. then work on the first message: “write 3 sentences using this prospect’s context and one problem we solve.” read it out loud. if you wouldn’t send it yourself, give the bot a better example. personalization should make the message relevant, not just prove you researched them 6. add a weekly reply review: “what are the most common reasons people say no?” wrong person means revisit job titles. wrong problem means revisit the offer or targeting. change one thing at a time so you can tell what helped 7. finally, write the rules down. what can run automatically, what needs your approval, who must never be contacted, and when follow-ups stop. start with a small batch and review it before increasing volume here’s why this matters: 1. you can spot buying signals without checking profiles all day 2. you spend less time researching and drafting, and more time having conversations 3. every batch gives you feedback on who actually needs your product the biggest time saver is catching bad targeting before you send 500 messages. link to the Grok bot tutorial in the first comment hope this helps someone!
