What you will accomplish
By the end of this guide, you will have tested your Sales Agents configuration on a real account and refined it until the generated tasks match your expectations — without waiting for the overnight background worker.Prerequisites
- At least one prospecting motion or deal task generation configured and saved. See Getting started.
- A target company (for prospecting) or an open deal (for deal tasks) to test against.
Test prospecting tasks
- Navigate to a company page that matches one of your configured motions.
- Open the Agent tab.
- Click Generate Context and wait for it to complete. Context gathering takes a few seconds and pulls in CRM data, signals, and stakeholder information.
- Select a motion from the dropdown and click Generate Tasks.
- Open the Tasks tab to review the generated tasks.
Test deal tasks
- Navigate to a deal page for an open deal assigned to one of your configured AEs.
- Open the Agent tab.
- Click Generate Context and wait for it to complete.
- Click Generate Tasks.
- Open the Tasks tab to review the generated tasks.
What to check
Review each generated task and ask:- Task type — Is email, phone, or LinkedIn the right channel for this contact and stage?
- Tone — Does the messaging match your outreach strategy prompt?
- Targeting — Is the AI reaching the right contacts at the right seniority?
- Content quality — Are email drafts and messages well-written and personalized?
- Reasoning — Does the agent’s reasoning make sense for why this task was recommended?
Iterate
If tasks don’t match your expectations:- Delete the generated tasks from the Tasks tab.
- Go back to the relevant configuration — adjust the outreach strategy prompt, personas, segments, or other settings.
- Save the updated configuration.
- Return to the same company or deal and repeat: generate context, then generate tasks.
- Continue until the output quality meets your standards.
- Tasks are too generic — Add more detail to your outreach strategy prompt. Include specific angles, objections to address, or value props to emphasize.
- Wrong contacts targeted — Refine your persona definitions. Narrow the department, adjust job levels, or add include/exclude keywords.
- Wrong accounts targeted — Review your account segment criteria. Tighten requirements or add nice-to-haves.
- Poor email quality — The AI uses deal and company context to personalize. If context is thin, check that your CRM data and Gong integration are flowing correctly.
