AI prompt

Write a 20-second voicemail around a dated buying signal

Tools: Claude ▪ Lusha

Personal details in live examples on this page are masked: names to initials, accounts unnamed, no phone numbers shown.

A sales voicemail script that opens with your product gets deleted in the first five seconds. This prompt writes one that opens with something that happened at their company, with a date on it, using the Lusha connector for Claude. It checks the number type and the Do Not Call flag before you dial, confirms the title you’re about to say out loud, and keeps each voicemail to about 20 seconds.

Every voicemail comes with a same-day email whose subject line repeats the signal, so the two land as one message.

The prompt

Open in Claude Open in ChatGPT

<context>
I sell: [your product, in one line].
Contacts: [names and companies, or a Lusha list].
My name, company and callback number: [name, company, number].
</context>

<task>
1. Credits. Run account_usage, which is free, and estimate the run before spending anything.
2. Phones. Reveal each contact's phone number and show the number type, the last update date and the Do Not Call flag. Skip any number flagged Do Not Call and tell me which ones you skipped.
3. Title check. Confirm each contact's current title and the date they started in the seat from the enriched profile, not from search results.
4. Signal. Pull one dated signal per account from the last 60 days that connects to what I sell. Use absolute numbers, not percentages: "three new sales roles this month", not "243%".
5. Voicemail. Write one voicemail per contact of 45 to 55 words: their first name, my name and company once, the signal and when it happened, one line on why it lands on their desk, and my callback number said twice. No "just checking in" and no questions they can't answer on a voicemail.
6. Email. Write a same-day email under 60 words whose subject line repeats the signal from the voicemail.
</task>

<output>
For each contact: number type and update date, Do Not Call status, title check, the signal used with its date, the voicemail with its word count and approximate length in seconds, and the email. Then the credits the run used.
</output>

<constraints>
- Do not call, send or sequence anything.
- Do not use personal email addresses.

What you'll get back

The situation

We ran the prompt on October 25, 2026 on three sales leaders at US software companies, for an example seller of sales onboarding software.

Phone, title and signal checks

Contact	Phone	Title check	Signal used
M.W.	Mobile, updated Jul 22, 2026, not flagged Do Not Call	VP of Sales since Jul 1, 2026	The account launched an AI product on Oct 15, 2026, and posted 3 sales roles in four weeks (Sep 28)
A.L.	Mobile, updated Apr 7, 2026, not flagged Do Not Call	Head of Global Sales since January 2026	The product became generally available on three major clouds on Sep 23, 2026
M.G.	Phone, not mobile, updated Jul 29, 2026, not flagged Do Not Call	Search results said Senior VP of Global Sales. The enriched profile says President of Global Sales, so the voicemail uses that	Headcount grew from 314 to 370 in three months (Sep 1) and hiring surged again on Oct 12

The title check caught one mismatch. Search results listed M.G. as Senior VP of Global Sales, and the enriched profile listed President of Global Sales. Saying the wrong title on a voicemail costs more than any opening line can earn back, so the prompt always reads the title from the enriched profile.

All three accounts showed hiring surges that read as 243% to 307% above their averages. Those percentages sat on three to five new job posts a week. The voicemails use the counts, because “three new sales roles” is something a VP recognizes and “243%” is not.

The voicemails and emails

M.W. · voicemail · 53 words, about 21 seconds

Hi M., it’s [your name] at [your company]. Your team launched an AI product on October 15 and opened three sales roles this month, so new reps and a new pitch are landing at once. We help sales teams ramp new hires on a new launch. I’ll email you today. [number], again, [number].

Same-day email · 51 words

Subject: Your October 15 launch and three new sales roles

Hi M., I left you a voicemail about this. Three new reps and a new launch in the same month is a lot to ramp at once. If it helps, I can show you how teams in that spot get reps ready on the new pitch. Worth 20 minutes next week?

A.L. · voicemail · 53 words, about 21 seconds

Hi A., it’s [your name] at [your company]. Your team made the product generally available on three major clouds on September 23, so every rep is selling a new deployment option this quarter. We help sales teams ramp on a launch without pulling them off calls. I’ll email you today. [number], again, [number].

Same-day email · 48 words

Subject: Your September 23 launch on three clouds

Hi A., I left you a voicemail about this. A new deployment option on three clouds means a new conversation for every rep this quarter. If it helps, I can show you how teams ramp on a launch without losing call time. Open to 20 minutes next week?

M.G. · voicemail · 53 words, about 21 seconds

Hi M., it’s [your name] at [your company]. Your company grew from 314 to 370 people this summer and is still hiring. That’s a lot of new sellers learning one pitch at once. We help sales leaders ramp new hires without the ramp eating the quarter. I’ll email you today. [number], again, [number].

Same-day email · 50 words

Subject: From 314 to 370 people in three months

Hi M., I left you a voicemail about this. Growing from 314 to 370 people in three months puts a lot of new sellers on the same pitch at once. If it helps, I can show you how sales leaders keep ramp from eating the quarter. 20 minutes next week?

Credits the run used

11 credits for the account signals. The three phone numbers had been revealed on this account before, so they cost nothing. On a fresh account, the three phone reveals cost 5 credits each, 26 credits in total for the run. The credit check at the start is free.

Contacts confirmed live via Lusha connector, October 25, 2026. The seller, product and scripts are illustrative. The phone checks, titles, signals and credits are from the live run.

Why it works

A voicemail has one job: give the person a reason to recognize your name when your email arrives an hour later. Lusha in Claude supplies the reason, a dated event at their company, and the safety checks around the call. Every phone reveal comes with a number type, an update date and a Do Not Call flag, so the rep knows what kind of line they’re dialing and skips the ones they shouldn’t. The title check reads from the enriched profile, not the search result, which caught a wrong title in our run. Lusha collects business contact information only and does not scrape social platforms: data sources and the Trust Center.

FAQ

Why 45 to 55 words?

At a normal speaking pace that’s about 20 seconds: long enough for a name, a signal, a reason and a callback number, and short enough to be heard to the end.

What does the Do Not Call flag do?

Lusha returns it with every phone reveal. The prompt skips any number that carries the flag and tells you which contacts it skipped, so you can reach them another way. Check the calling rules that apply in your market before dialing.

Why use counts instead of percentages?

Because small companies produce big percentages. In our run, three to five new job posts read as more than 240% above average. The count is what the person on the other end recognizes as true.

What if the number is a desk line, not a mobile?

The number type tells you before you dial. In our run, one of the three was a phone line rather than a mobile. The voicemail works the same way, and the same-day email carries the message if the voicemail goes unheard.

What does it cost?

A phone reveal costs 5 credits and an email reveal 1. Account signals cost 1 credit per signal event returned, about 4 per account in our run. Current plans: lusha.com/pricing.
