Preparing Your Workspace in ClickUp
Set up your sales workspace in ClickUp so the AI Sales Rep has clear structures and data to work with.
Step 1: Create a Sales Space in ClickUp
- Log in to your ClickUp account.
- Create or open the Space you want to use for sales.
- Name it clearly, for example: Sales Pipeline or Revenue Team.
This Space will house your Lists, tasks, and views that the AI Sales Rep will reference.
Step 2: Build Lists for Your Sales Pipeline
Organize your deals and activities into Lists so the AI can qualify and route work correctly.
- Create Lists for each funnel stage, such as Leads, Prospects, Opportunities, and Closed Won.
- Add task statuses that match your process, like New, Contacted, Qualified, and Negotiation.
- Use Custom Fields for deal size, industry, lead source, and priority.
The more structured your data is in ClickUp, the better the AI Sales Rep can prioritize and suggest actions.
Step 3: Connect Your Sales Data Sources
Make sure incoming information flows into ClickUp for the AI to use.
- Sync email and calendar where available.
- Integrate forms or lead capture tools to create tasks automatically.
- Map fields from your lead sources into ClickUp Custom Fields.
Centralized data gives the AI Sales Rep a clear picture of every account and contact.

Turn long, unstructured communication into quick insights.
- Open a task containing a long email thread or call notes.
- Use the ClickUp AI Sales Rep to generate a brief summary.
- Ask the AI to highlight next steps, objections, and decision-makers.
These summaries keep the entire team aligned without reading every detail.
Step 8: Draft Personalized Outreach at Scale
Use the ClickUp AI Sales Rep to write tailored messages based on each prospect’s context.

This approach lets your reps send more relevant outreach while maintaining human oversight.
Step 9: Keep CRM Fields Updated Automatically
