Sales workflows with ChatGPT Work

OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Work workflows and a sales plugin to help sales teams aggregate customer context from multiple sources. The tools assist sellers and managers in generating pipeline briefs, meeting prep, forecast reviews, and deal diagnoses faster. Teams can integrate tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, and others.

According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Work provides practical sales workflows designed to help teams pull together scattered context from CRM fields, call notes, email threads, Slack discussions, decks, customer documents, and account signals. Sales teams and managers can use ChatGPT Work to produce the first usable version of essential artifacts, such as prioritized account briefs, meeting preparation packets, forecast risk reviews, account strategy packs, and stalled-deal diagnoses. While sellers and managers retain ownership of relationship strategy and judgment, the tool is intended to get a working draft in front of the team more quickly. Additionally, OpenAI offers a ChatGPT Work sales plugin that allows sales teams to bring customer context directly into their workflows to find high-priority accounts, prepare for meetings, complete follow-ups, update customer records, build close plans, and review deals at risk. The plugin integrates with various enterprise platforms, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Outreach, Clay, Rox, and Actively. OpenAI noted that while some instructional webinars reference the former Codex app, those workflows are now available using ChatGPT Work on the web or through the ChatGPT desktop application.
