I use AI every day. Not because I'm a tech person. I'm a recruiter from London who spent a decade managing pubs. But I've used AI to build a recruitment website, write outreach, research companies, and prep for calls faster than I ever could manually.

If I can do it, a sales rep with ten years of product knowledge and a territory to cover can do a lot more.

These prompts are built specifically for people who sell building products, lighting, and architectural products in Australia. Every one of them has been tested. None of them require a paid subscription to get started.

These aren't theoretical. I use versions of these prompts in my own workflow every day. The LinkedIn method I used to run one on one is now the free Profile Builder linked from the first card in Tab 1, so this stuff gets road-tested constantly.

If there's a workflow eating your time that isn't covered here, tell me. It might end up on this page.

Why I built this

Two reasons.

One. If you use this properly, it will save you hours a week and make you better at your job. That's not a sales line. It's what happens when you stop briefing the AI from scratch every morning and start running it like a colleague who knows your area. The reps who do this open Monday five steps ahead of the ones who don't.

Two. I'm a recruiter. I place sales talent into the building products industry across Australia. This page is the way I can help most of my network at once. The information is free. The advice is honest. The hope is that when you're looking for a job, or need to hire well, you think of me first.

Nobody else in my market is doing this. Yes, I still cold call.
