A Step-by-Step Guide to Building an Inbound Sales Skill with Claude
An Inbound Sales Skill that turns every contact form into a structured inbound sales workflow 👇
In this "Coworkings AI" edition, we broke down how to build this skill with Claude.
A Skill in Claude is a saved set of instructions that tells the model how to execute a specific workflow. In this case, handling inbound coworking leads end-to-end.
The workflow follows a 5-step sequential pipeline:
🔹 Lead Enrichment → live web searches to enrich the prospect's profile
🔹 Lead Qualification → score out of 35 across 7 ICP dimensions*, with priority tier (HOT/WARM/NURTURE/LOW FIT)
*These dimensions can be edited to better fit your qualification process.
🔹 Product Recommendation → maps the need to the right product and site, flagging mismatches
🔹 Demo Script → personalised SPIN-framework guide for call or in-person tour
🔹 Email Sequence → 3-email follow-up sequence ready to send
The full flow:
Contact form → web enrichment → ICP score → product recommendation → sales call or tour script → follow-up sequence
Why this skill creates value
Inconsistent lead response
At a single location, an experienced rep holds it together by instinct. Across 4+ sites, the model breaks. The quality of every reply depends on who picks up the lead and how they approach outreach.
Hot leads waiting 24 hours
Without structured prioritisation, the lead that needs a one-hour reply ends up waiting as long as a curious browser.
That inconsistency quietly costs memberships every month.
Systematise the best rep's knowledge
The sales knowledge that matters lives in your best rep's head: how to read a lead, which product fits which profile, what to say to a Head of People versus a CTO.
The opportunity: turning that tacit knowledge into a skill anyone on the team can execute.
The skill applies the same qualification criteria to every lead
Adapts tone and product to the enriched profile, regardless of who picks up the form
Start manual, automate after
Validate before scaling
The first 20-30 leads should run manually through the skill. Get familiar with the output, refine the Skill and your space context. That's the only way to calibrate the ICP scoring, fine-tune email tone, and catch profiles the model misclassifies.
Enrich it with your business context
The real value shows up when you load reference files: your actual ICP, recurring objections that convert, competitive positioning, examples of emails that worked. Without that, the skill stays generic.
