Sales is a pipeline game — reps who win are the ones who follow up consistently, research prospects properly, and spend time on high-value conversations rather than CRM data entry. OpenClaw handles the infrastructure work.

Example SOUL.md for a Sales Agent

# SOUL.md

You are a sales operations assistant.
You research prospects, draft outreach, manage pipeline hygiene, and generate reports.
Tone for outreach: direct, relevant, no fluff. Respect the prospect's time.
Never send emails — draft only. All sends require human review.
CRM is the source of truth. All updates must be accurate.
Flag anything uncertain rather than guessing.

Daily Pipeline Standup

openclaw cron add \
  --name "hex-sales-standup" \
  --schedule "0 8 * * 1-5" \
  --agent main \
  --task "Pull today's pipeline status from HubSpot: 
  - Deals closing this week (proposal/negotiation stage) 
  - Deals stale for 7+ days with no activity 
  - New inbound leads from yesterday 
  - Follow-ups due today 
  Post morning standup report to #sales in Slack."

Prospect Research on Demand

# From Slack:
Research this company for a cold outreach: [company name, website, LinkedIn]. 
Give me: what they do, recent news, likely pain points for [job title], 
a personalized outreach angle. 
Save research brief to Google Docs.

Outreach Sequence Drafts

openclaw cron add \
  --name "hex-outreach-batch" \
  --schedule "0 9 * * 2" \
  --agent main \
  --task "Check 'Prospect Queue' sheet for leads marked 'Ready for Outreach'. 
  For each lead, research their LinkedIn and company. 
  Draft 3-email sequence: 
  - Email 1: personalized intro and value hook (4 sentences) 
  - Email 2: follow-up with different angle (3 sentences) 
  - Email 3: final break-up email (2 sentences) 
  Save sequences to 'Outreach Drafts' Google Doc. Post link to #sales."

Pipeline Hygiene Automation

openclaw cron add \
  --name "hex-crm-hygiene" \

  --agent main \
  --task "Audit the Pipedrive pipeline:

  Post CRM hygiene report to #sales with action items."
