A target account list is only useful if your team knows what to do with it.

Some accounts are ready for sales outreach. Some are a better fit for nurture. Some look good on paper but show no urgency. Others have strong signals, but the right contact is missing. Treating all of them the same creates wasted touches, weak personalization, and messy handoffs between marketing and sales.

This prompt uses Lusha in ChatGPT to enrich a target account list, check recent buying signals, identify relevant contacts, and create an explainable recommendation score from the returned data. Instead of giving reps another static list, it gives them a prioritized path: who to work now, why now, and what to do next.

How to start

1

Open Lusha in ChatGPT

Go to Lusha in ChatGPT and click “Start chat.” Every conversation started this way is automatically Lusha-enabled.

2

Or invoke Lusha in any existing conversation

Type @Lusha in the prompt bar and select Lusha from the dropdown. Unlike Claude, Lusha does not activate automatically in every ChatGPT conversation. You must invoke it every time.

3

Paste your target account list and send

Copy the prompt below, paste your accounts, add your ICP and campaign context, and send. Lusha enriches the accounts, checks signals, and ChatGPT recommends the next-best action for each account.

The prompt

@Lusha Prioritize this target account list and recommend
the next-best action for each account.

TARGET ACCOUNT LIST:
Paste accounts in this format:
1. [Company name or domain]
2. [Company name or domain]
3. [Company name or domain]

CAMPAIGN OR SALES CONTEXT:
Goal: [new outbound campaign / ABM campaign / event follow-up /
pipeline creation / expansion / reactivation / other]
What we want to discuss: [one sentence]
Target personas: [titles or personas]
Relevant departments: [Sales / Marketing / RevOps / IT /
Operations / Customer Success / Finance / HR / other]

ICP:
Best-fit industries: [industries]

Disqualifiers: [existing customers, competitors, open
opportunities, poor-fit segments, company sizes, or regions
to exclude]

MY PRODUCT:
[One sentence describing what you sell and the problem

Using Lusha, do the following:

1. VERIFY AND ENRICH EACH ACCOUNT
   Match each company to a verified Lusha company profile.

   Return:
   - Company name
   - Domain
   - Industry
   - Employee count
   - HQ location
   - Revenue range if available
   - Company LinkedIn if available
   - Match status

   If a company cannot be verified, mark it clearly.

2. CHECK RECENT BUYING SIGNALS
   For each verified account, check recent signals from the
   last 6 months, if available.

   Prioritize:
   - Hiring surges
   - Hiring surges by relevant department
   - Hiring surges by location
   - Headcount increases or decreases
   - IT spend changes
   - Website traffic changes
   - Commercial activity news
   - Corporate strategy news
   - Financial events news
   - People news
   - Product activity news
   - Risk news
   - Intent topics related to my product, if available
   - Promotion or company-change signals for relevant contacts

3. SCORE ACCOUNT FIT
   Create an explainable recommendation score from 1-100
   using only the Lusha data returned and the ICP context
   I provided.

   Break the score into:
   - ICP fit: 35 points
     How well the account matches the target market.

   - Timing: 30 points
     Whether recent signals make the account more timely.

   - Persona fit: 20 points
     Whether the right target personas are likely relevant.

   - Actionability: 15 points
     Whether relevant contacts and contact data are available.

   Do not present the score as a prediction that the account
   will convert or buy.

   If there is not enough verified data to support a score,
   mark the score as low-confidence and explain what is missing.

4. ASSIGN A NEXT-BEST ACTION
   Assign one recommendation:

   Work now:
   Strong ICP fit + relevant signal or strong actionability.

   Add to campaign:
   Good ICP fit, but weaker urgency or limited signals.

   Nurture:
   Partial fit or unclear timing.

   Review:
   Interesting account, but missing data or unclear fit.

   Exclude:
   Poor fit, disqualified, competitor, existing customer,
   open opportunity, or unverifiable account.

5. FIND STARTING CONTACTS
   For each account marked Work now, find 1-2 relevant
   contacts matching the target persona or department.

   Return:
   - Name
   - Current title
   - Department
   - Seniority
   - Location
   - LinkedIn profile if available
   - Verified business email availability
   - Direct or mobile phone availability
   - DNC status if available

   If contact data is not available or cannot be revealed,
   say so clearly rather than guessing.

6. CREATE AI RECOMMENDATIONS
   For each Work now account, write:
   - Why this account should be prioritized
   - Which signal or fit factor matters most
   - Who to contact first
   - What angle to lead with
   - One subject line under 7 words
   - One opening line under 30 words
   - One discovery question

   Do not:
   Invent signals, tools, vendors, internal projects,
   contract status, or buying intent.
   Claim the account is ready to buy.
   Present the score as a conversion prediction.
   Include excluded accounts.
   Force personalization when the data is weak.

7. OUTPUT FORMAT
   Return:
   - Account prioritization table
   - Company enrichment
   - Recent signals, if any
   - Explainable recommendation score with breakdown
   - Confidence level
   - Next-best action
   - Starting contacts, if available
   - Recommended outreach angle
   - Excluded accounts and why

Do not invent companies, contacts, emails, phone numbers,
signals, scores, or recommendations. If Lusha cannot verify
a company, contact, or signal, mark it clearly.

Why use Lusha in ChatGPT for next-best account recommendations

 

A static account list still leaves the hardest question unanswered: what should sales do next?

Lusha helps turn account data into a practical prioritization workflow. The prompt verifies and enriches each company, checks recent buying signals when available, and identifies relevant contacts. ChatGPT then creates an explainable recommendation score and next-best action based on the data returned.

The scoring step matters because account fit, timing, persona relevance, and contact availability are not the same thing. A strong-fit account with no signal may belong in nurture. A good-fit account with a hiring surge and the right contact available may be ready for outreach. The prompt makes those differences visible.

The result is a list that tells sales where to focus, why it matters now, and what to do next.

Lusha data is sourced and used in accordance with Lusha’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Lusha is GDPR compliant and covers contacts across North America, EMEA, and APAC.

FAQ

  • What is a next-best account recommendation?

    It is an AI-assisted recommendation that helps decide which accounts to work now, add to a campaign, nurture, review, or exclude based on verified company data, buying signals, ICP fit, and contact availability.

  • Is the recommendation score a Lusha predictive score?

    No. In this prompt, ChatGPT creates an explainable recommendation score from the Lusha data returned and the ICP context you provide. It is a prioritization aid, not a prediction that an account will convert.

  • Can I use this with a CRM export?

    Yes. Paste account names or domains from a CRM export into the prompt. The prompt asks Lusha to verify and enrich each account, then recommend the next-best action.

  • What if an account has no buying signals?

    An account can still be a good fit without a recent signal, but it may not deserve the same urgency. The prompt separates strong-fit accounts with timing from accounts better suited for nurture or campaign follow-up.

  • Can this help sales and marketing align?

    Yes. Marketing can use the output to prioritize campaign accounts, and sales can use the same data to see why an account matters, who to contact, and what angle to lead with.
