How to Use ClickUp AI for Sales Teams

ClickUp provides AI-powered sales agents that help teams research prospects, draft outreach, and automate CRM updates so reps can focus on closing deals instead of manual busywork.

This guide walks you through how to use these AI agents for sales work, from setup to daily workflows.

What ClickUp AI Sales Agents Can Do

Before you start, it helps to understand what the sales-focused AI agents are designed to handle.

  • Summarize lead and account research
  • Draft and refine sales emails, messages, and call scripts
  • Generate follow-up plans and next steps
  • Help organize CRM-style data in your workspace
  • Support multi-step deal workflows inside your projects

These capabilities are embedded directly in your tasks and docs so your team can work in one place.

Getting Ready to Use ClickUp AI for Sales

Set up your workspace so AI agents can work with the right information.

Prepare Your ClickUp Sales Space

  1. Create or open a Space dedicated to sales activities, such as Sales Pipeline or Revenue Operations.

  2. Within the Space, add Folders for key processes, for example:

    • Prospecting
    • Outbound Sequences
    • Opportunities
    • Customer Expansion

  3. Inside each Folder, create Lists that match your workflow stages, such as New Leads, Qualified, or Negotiation.

Organize Lead and Account Tasks

AI agents perform best when your data is structured.

  1. Create a task for each lead or account.

  2. Add Custom Fields like:

    • Company name
    • Contact role
    • Deal size
    • Stage
    • Industry

  3. Attach relevant files or research links inside the task description or comments.

Once this foundation is in place, you are ready to involve AI in your sales workflow.

How to Use ClickUp AI for Prospect Research

Use the built-in AI agents to speed up research and preparation for outreach.

Step 1: Open a Sales Task

  1. Navigate to your sales Space and open the task for the prospect or account you want to work on.

  2. Ensure any notes, call logs, or links you already have are added to the description or comments.

Step 2: Launch the AI Agent

  1. In the task or doc, locate the AI icon in the editor toolbar.

  2. Select the sales-focused AI assistant from the available options to guide your prompt.

Step 3: Prompt the AI with Context

Provide clear instructions and context in your prompt so the agent can create relevant output.

  • Mention the prospect’s role and company.
  • Specify the goal, such as initial outreach or follow-up after demo.
  • Share any value proposition or offer you want highlighted.

You can then ask the AI to summarize key points, lay out goals, or identify potential pain points based on the information you provide.

How to Use ClickUp AI to Draft Sales Emails

The AI agents help you create and refine high-quality sales emails in just a few steps.

Step 1: Start a Draft Directly in a Task

  1. In the task description or a related doc, type a short outline of the message you want to send.

  2. Highlight the text or position your cursor where you want the email generated.

Step 2: Ask the AI to Write the Email

  1. Open the AI menu from the editor.

  2. Choose a writing or sales communication option that fits your need, such as drafting an outbound email or follow-up note.

  3. Include details like tone (professional, friendly, concise) and target audience.

The agent will generate a complete email draft based on your guidance.

Step 3: Refine the Email with AI

You can quickly polish the output instead of rewriting it from scratch.

  • Ask the agent to shorten or expand the email.
  • Request a different tone, such as more persuasive or more direct.
  • Have it generate alternative subject lines to A/B test.

Once satisfied, copy the email into your outbound tool or send it through your connected communication platform.

Using ClickUp AI to Plan Follow-Ups

AI agents can help plan next steps so no opportunity falls through the cracks.

Generate Follow-Up Sequences

  1. Open the prospect’s task after a call or meeting.

  2. Summarize what happened in a few bullet points.

  3. Ask the AI agent to create a follow-up plan, including timing and channel suggestions.

The agent can output a sequence of steps, for example:

  • Day 1: Send recap email with key takeaways.
  • Day 3: Share a relevant case study.
  • Day 7: Offer a short check-in call.

Turn AI Output into Actionable Tasks

  1. Convert each follow-up step into a subtask or checklist item inside the main record.

  2. Set due dates and assignees so responsibilities are clear.

  3. Use notifications and reminders to ensure follow-ups happen on schedule.

Automating CRM-Style Workflows with ClickUp AI

The AI agents pair well with automations to keep your workspace in sync with your sales activity.

Use AI-Generated Content in Templates

  • Create task templates for common workflows such as Discovery Call or Demo Request.
  • Use AI to build standard notes sections, qualification questions, and handoff checklists.
  • Save these as reusable templates so every rep follows the same structure.

Combine AI with Automations

While AI agents handle content, automations handle movement and status tracking.

  • Trigger status changes after key fields are updated.
  • Notify teammates when a deal moves to a new stage.
  • Create follow-up tasks automatically when a stage is complete.

This combination keeps your sales operations organized without extra manual data entry.

Best Practices for Using ClickUp AI in Sales

Follow these tips to get the most value from your AI agents.

  • Always provide context: Share who the prospect is, what they care about, and your goal.
  • Review before sending: AI drafts are a starting point; adjust them to match your voice and policies.
  • Keep data structured: Well-organized fields and tasks improve the quality of AI assistance.
  • Iterate on prompts: If the result is not ideal, refine your prompt instead of starting over entirely.
