Best for

✓

Account executives and BDRs starting the week with a new named account to prospect.

Teams whose reps each research accounts differently, with uneven results.

Sellers who lose the first hour of a new account to manual research.

What you need to run it

CRM and contact data

Connect Salesforce for existing account context and Apollo to identify the contacts worth approaching first.

A target account name

Supply the company you want researched. Everything in the brief is assembled from that single input.

What to Include in an Account Plan Template

Existing context lookup

Pulls what your CRM already knows about the account so research does not restate history you have.

Contact identification

Finds and ranks the people worth reaching at that account, rather than returning an undifferentiated list.

Recent company signals

Searches for current news and business detail, so the first touch references something real and recent.

What you get back

Account brief

One structured view of the account, its context, and what makes it worth prospecting now.

Ranked contact table

Key contacts ready for review, ordered so you know who to approach first.

Drafted first-touch email

A personalized opener to a suggested decision-maker, built from the research rather than a generic template.

Who it's for

For any account executive or BDR starting their week with a new named account to prospect. This is your research assistant for turning a single company name into a complete account plan.

What it does

Running on your schedule every Monday morning, this skill builds a comprehensive brief on a target account you specify. It queries Salesforce for existing context, uses Apollo to identify relevant contacts, and performs a web search for recent news and business details.

What you need

Connect your Salesforce and Apollo accounts to get started. The skill uses these alongside web search to gather intelligence on the target account name you provide.

What you get

You receive a table of key contacts ready for your review and a drafted, personalized outreach email to a suggested decision-maker. This gives you a complete starting point for your first touch without the manual research.

Account Planning FAQ

What is an account plan template?
An account plan template is a standard structure for everything you know about a target account: existing relationship context, the contacts that matter, recent company signals, and the entry point you intend to use. It keeps account research comparable across reps.
How detailed should an account plan template be?
Detailed enough to decide who to contact and what to open with, and no more. Plans that try to capture everything tend to go stale before anyone acts on them, which is why this one is regenerated from live sources rather than maintained by hand.
