How Do I Write Prompts That Work Well in Bebop?

Bebop is a powerful B2B research tool, but like all AI, it’s only as good as the instructions you give it. Clear, focused prompts unlock the best results. The better you guide Bebop, the better the answers you’ll get.

Wingman Mode vs. Prospecting Mode

Bebop’s Wingman is your AI partner for real-time prospect research and meeting preparation. To get the most out of it, you’ll need to tailor your prompts to what you’re trying to achieve:

• Wingman Mode: Engaging with a known prospect or preparing for a meeting.

• Prospecting Mode: Searching for new leads and opportunities.

Each mode requires a slightly different prompting approach.

Wingman Mode: Writing Prompts to Prepare for Meetings & Engage Prospects

When you’re using Bebop’s Wingman on a specific company record, your goal is to get sharp, actionable insights that help you personalize your outreach and run a smarter meeting. This isn’t broad research — you’re digging deep into this company and this person.

Tips for Wingman Prompts

• Be contextual 

  Start with what you already know and ask Wingman to surface relevant, timely, and useful angles.

  • ✅ Example:
    “What recent company initiatives can I reference to open my conversation with [Decision Maker]?”

• Look for Challenges or Pain Points

  Wingman can help you uncover internal friction, external threats, or operational gaps.

  • ✅ Example:
    “What operational inefficiencies or process bottlenecks has [Company] been trying to address?”

• Personalize to the Contact

  Ask Wingman to tailor insights to the specific person you’re meeting.

  • ✅ Example:
    “What topics is [Contact Name] talking about publicly, or what have they posted about recently?”

•  Pro Tip: Use Wingman Dynamically

  During a live call or meeting prep, try iterative follow-ups:

  • “Tell me more about their expansion plans.”

  • “What’s a recent competitor move that might impact them?”

Prospecting Mode: Writing Prompts to Find New Leads

When you’re in prospecting mode, your prompts should help Bebop surface new companies and new contacts that fit your ideal customer profile. This is where precision and signals matter most.

Tips for Prospecting Prompts

• Be Highly Specific
  Avoid broad requests like “Find good prospects.” Instead, zero in on company types, growth signals, and job roles.
  
  ✅ Example:
  “Find B2B SaaS companies interested in BPO services in Texas with 50–200 employees.”
• Include business signals
   These are indicators of need or readiness

• Target pain and urgency
  Bebop works best when you ask for signals of urgency or pain.

  ✅ Example:
  “Show me companies looking to reduce manual workflows or cut costs in ops.”
