OBS Free notebook Pro tools

Outcome-Based Selling — a structured notebook for building a pitch on one specific prospect, plus a set of tools that turn that notebook into real deliverables.

Every OBS session starts with a small prospect bar at the top — name, company, role, and free-text context (e.g. "Q3 rebid, new FMCG brief"). This isn't required, but the more you fill in, the better the pillars and generated tools are.

Live capture: typing a company into the prospect bar, adding a key point to The Power Hook, then switching to Email Writer. (If your browser doesn't play inline video, download the clip.)

The 7 pillars — free, saved locally

Each pillar is the same shape: a running list of key points, a free-text notes box, and the ability to pin relevant linked articles as proof points. No server round-trip — this is your private working notebook for one deal.

The OBS Techniques

The overall approach for this prospect: define the business outcome you're selling toward, not the product.

OBS Techniques pillar

The Power Hook

Your opening line — used at the very start of a call or email to earn attention and permission to continue.

Want vs Need

Discovery notes distinguishing what the prospect is asking for from the real underlying problem.

Want vs Need pillar with a filled-in example

Nuggets of Value

Insights or reframes that shift how the prospect sees their own situation — without feeling like a sales pitch.

Park and Sort

Park objections or questions that surface too early, so discovery stays focused on understanding the problem first.

Park and Sort pillar

Striker Questions

Deepening questions that surface impact and challenge assumptions, beyond surface-level answers.

Striker Questions pillar

Close for Action

Agree on the concrete next step before the conversation ends — this is what actually moves a deal forward.

Action tools — Pro, built from your pillars

A footer row below the pillar list turns your notebook into deliverables. All seven require Pro.

Cold Calling

Generates a cold-call script from your filled-in pillars (or from prospect info alone if pillars are empty).

Cold Calling tool

Email Writer

Three templates — Cold Outreach, Follow-up, Meeting Brief — built from your pillar content. Notice the right-hand panel: it auto-pulls recent Ad Nuggets coverage of the company you typed, so you always have a live, relevant hook available.

Email Writer tool

LinkedIn Message

Same idea as Email Writer, tailored for a LinkedIn connection request or DM.

LinkedIn Message tool

Analyse mes favoris

Pick from your Favorites and attach an article as supporting evidence to a specific pillar — useful for backing up a Nuggets of Value point with a real, citable source.

Analyse mes favoris tool

Objection Rebuttals

Your own private objection → response library, organized by category. Nothing here is shared with other accounts. Once you have entries, a Practice mode button appears — a spaced-repetition drill so the rebuttals actually stick before you need them live.

Prospect Intelligence Report

The standout tool: pulls together everything Ad Nuggets already knows about a company — news, brand/AdTech data, M&A history, and (optionally) a live tech-stack scan of their domain — into one traceable briefing. Every number is linked back to a real signal; nothing here is invented.

Generated Prospect Intelligence Report for Nike

A generated report: Signal Collection (what data exists), Commercial Analysis (a priority score with its inputs shown), and Sales Output (a plain-English summary plus a ready-to-use discovery question).

Briefings

An archive of your past scheduled digest emails (daily/weekly, set in Parameters), viewable in-app so you don't have to dig through your inbox.

Briefings archive
Cold Calling, Email Writer, and LinkedIn Message use Claude to actually write the copy — if you see "AI not configured", that's a site-admin setup step (an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY), not something you need to do as a user.
