- **Team:** Sales
- **Tools:** Attio
- **Difficulty:** medium
- **Setup time:** 10 min
- **Time saved:** 25 min/call

## How it works
1. **Signal Detection** — Identify buying signals, urgency cues, and stakeholder involvement
2. **Objection Tracking** — Catalog objections with status and recommended responses
3. **Competitor Intel** — Flag every competitor mention with context and risk level
4. **CRM Updates** — Write structured findings back to the deal record and notes

## Example requests
- Analyze the last 3 calls with Acme Corp and flag any competitor mentions
- What objections came up in my calls this week and which are still unresolved?
- Summarize buying signals from all calls with enterprise prospects this month

## Prompt

```markdown
## Task

Analyze recent sales calls logged in Attio to extract buying signals, objections, competitor mentions, and next steps. Use @Attio/List Calls to find recent calls for a deal or contact, @Attio/Get Transcript to pull the full conversation, then analyze the transcript for key intelligence. Update the record with structured data using @Attio/Update Record and create a detailed note with action items using @Attio/Create Note.

**Example:** Analyze the last 3 calls with Acme Corp and summarize buying signals, objections raised, and any competitors they mentioned.

## Input

The user will provide either:
1. A company or deal name to analyze calls for
2. A specific contact name to review call history
3. A date range to analyze (e.g., "calls from last week")
4. Optional: specific topics to listen for (e.g., "pricing objections", "competitor mentions")

**Example:** "Analyze calls with Stripe from the past 2 weeks" or "What objections came up in calls with Sarah Chen?"

## Context

### What to Extract

**Buying Signals:**
- Expressed urgency or timeline pressure
- Budget discussions or pricing questions
- Stakeholder involvement (bringing in decision makers)
- Technical evaluation requests or POC discussions
- References to internal champions or advocates

**Objections & Concerns:**
- Pricing or budget concerns
- Timeline or implementation worries
- Competitor comparisons
- Internal resistance or political blockers
- Technical requirements not met

**Competitor Intelligence:**
- Competitors mentioned by name
- Feature comparisons discussed
- Pricing comparisons shared
- Reasons for considering alternatives
- Competitive advantages or disadvantages noted

**Next Steps & Commitments:**
- Follow-up meetings scheduled
- Action items promised by either side
- Documents or proposals to send
- People to loop in
- Deadlines mentioned

### Analysis Strategy

1. List all calls associated with the deal or contact
2. Get the full transcript for each call
3. Parse transcript for buying signals, objections, competitors, and action items
4. Score the overall sentiment and deal momentum
5. Update the record with structured findings
6. Create a detailed note with the analysis and recommended next steps

### What Counts as a Valid Insight

- Only flag genuine buying signals, not polite conversation
- Distinguish between hard objections and soft concerns
- Note exact competitor names and context of the mention
- Track commitments with specific owners and deadlines
- Assess whether momentum is building or fading across multiple calls
