What Sales Reps Type — Over and Over

The average sales rep sends dozens of emails daily. Most of them are variations of the same message: first-touch outreach, follow-up #2, objection responses, meeting confirmations, proposal introductions. Lightning Assist turns each of these into a shortcut.

  • Cold outreach emails — personalised with prospect name and company variables
  • Follow-up sequences — day 3, day 7, day 14 follow-up templates
  • Objection handling — consistent responses to pricing, timing, and competitor objections
  • Meeting scheduling — calendar link + context in one expansion
  • CRM notes — standard discovery, demo, and close notes in Salesforce or HubSpot
  • LinkedIn messages — personalised connection requests and InMail templates
