Justify this to your boss

Typical cost

~$30 / rep / month

Claude Team seat + Cowork Sales plugin subscription. Most CRM connectors (Salesforce MCP, HubSpot MCP) are free — you already pay for the CRM.

Scoped to replace

~45 min/day of admin

Prospect research, call prep, pipeline review prep, next-step drafting, CRM hygiene. Scoped well, that's 3–5 hrs/wk back per AE (our planning estimate) — time that goes back into actual selling.

The hard conversation

This is not an SDR

AI can't prospect, qualify, or carry relationships. It can make good AEs and SEs dramatically faster at prep and admin. The ROI story is cycle time, not headcount replacement. Sell it that way internally.

The weekly recipe

Weekly workflow for Sales Ops

Tools stitched into a cadence. Editorial — the time figures are our planning estimates, not measured client results. Start with one day, add the rest as it sticks.

Monday — Pipeline hygiene

Cowork Sales Plugin + Salesforce MCP

Run /pipeline-review across last week's closed & slipped deals. Export the risk-flagged list; hand to AEs with a single-sentence next-step each. ~20 min for a 40-deal pipeline.

Wednesday — Call prep batch

Cowork Sales Plugin + Fireflies connector

For every call on the calendar the next 2 days: /call-prep pulls prospect research, last-touch context, likely objections. Deliverable: a 1-page brief per call. ~3 min per call instead of ~15.

Thursday — Forecast sanity check

Salesforce MCP

Query: deals in commit + best-case with no activity in 14 days. Deliverable: a 'phantoms' list for the Friday forecast call.

Friday — Exec recap

Cowork Sales Plugin

/synthesize across the week's call transcripts → 5-bullet exec email. Human edit pass before send. ~15 min instead of ~90.

Planning estimate — time reclaimed: ~5 hrs/wk per AE, mostly on Friday prep + Wednesday call prep.
