How to Create Offerings the AI Pitches in FirstSales

Define a product or service (name, description, detailed pitch, key benefits, and URL) and attach it so the AI drafter promotes exactly what you sell.

  1. What an Offering is

    An Offering is a product or service you want the AI to pitch. Where a Knowledge Base is broad background, an Offering is the specific thing you're selling in a campaign: its value, benefits, and link. Attach one so every draft actually promotes what you want promoted.

  2. Create an Offering

    Go to Offerings → Create Offering. First pick a Type: Product or Service. Then name it (4–50 chars): the clear, external name of what you sell.

  3. Write the short description and details

    Add a Short Description (up to 200 chars): a one-line summary the drafter uses as a hook. Then fill Information, the required detailed pitch: what it is, who it's for, how it works, and what makes it worth a reply. The richer and more specific this is, the better the AI's copy.

  4. List the key benefits

    Add Key Benefits as separate items: the concrete outcomes a buyer cares about ("cut onboarding from 2 weeks to 2 days", "no engineering time needed"). The drafter weaves these into emails, so write outcomes, not features.

  5. Add the URL

    Set the URL: the page you want prospects sent to (product page, booking link, signup). The AI can reference it in the call to action, so point it at wherever you want the click to land.

  6. Attach it to a campaign

    An Offering only shapes drafts once selected. In the campaign's Email Drafter → Content tab, add the Offerings tool and pick this offering. The drafter then pitches it (using your description, benefits, and URL) in that campaign's emails.

Pro tips

  • Benefits are outcomes, not features

    "AI-powered dashboard" is a feature; "see churn risk a week early" is a benefit. Write Key Benefits as the result the buyer gets: that's what lands in a cold email.

  • Make Information do the heavy lifting

    The detailed Information field is what the drafter reasons from. Spell out who it's for and why it beats the status quo; a thin pitch produces thin emails.

  • One offering per campaign focus

    Pitching three things in one email dilutes all three. Create separate offerings and attach the single one that matches each campaign's goal.

  • Point the URL at the actual next step

    Send prospects to a booking link or a focused product page, not your homepage. The AI uses the URL in the CTA, so make it the click you actually want.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between an Offering and a Knowledge Base?

A Knowledge Base is broad background the drafter reads from; an Offering is the specific product or service you want pitched in a campaign, with its own benefits and URL.

How do I create an Offering?

Offerings → Create Offering. Choose Product or Service, name it (4–50 chars), add a Short Description (≤200), a detailed Information pitch, Key Benefits, and a URL.

Product vs. Service: does it matter?

It sets the framing the AI uses. Pick whichever the thing actually is; the rest of the fields (benefits, information, URL) drive the copy either way.

How should I write Key Benefits?

As concrete outcomes the buyer cares about, one per item: e.g. "cut onboarding to 2 days" rather than a feature name. The drafter weaves these into the email.

How does a campaign use my Offering?

In the campaign's Email Drafter → Content tab, add the Offerings tool and select it. The drafter then pitches that offering (description, benefits, and URL) in its emails.

Can I attach more than one Offering?

You can, but pitching multiple things in one email usually dilutes the message. Prefer one focused offering per campaign.

Prompt for Claude Code

I'm setting up FirstSales (https://firstsales.io), an AI outbound sales platform: campaigns, contacts, a reply inbox, deliverability and lead signals. Help me get my workspace sending real, good emails end to end, from Claude Code.

Read these first so you know how FirstSales works:
- Developer docs and API: https://developer.firstsales.io
- CLI: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@firstsales.io/cli
- Skills for coding agents: https://github.com/firstsalesio/firstsales-skills (read README.md and GUIDE.md)

Setup
1. Install the CLI: npm install -g @firstsales.io/cli
2. Install the FirstSales skills:
   claude plugin marketplace add firstsalesio/firstsales-skills
   claude plugin install firstsales@firstsales
3. Ask me if I already have a FirstSales account. If not, send me to https://app.firstsales.io to sign up.
4. Ask me to create an API key under Settings → API → API Keys, with only the scopes we need.
   Never ask me to paste the key into this chat. Tell me to run this in my own terminal, so the key stays hidden:
   read -rs FS_KEY && firstsales auth login --api-key "$FS_KEY"; unset FS_KEY
5. Run `firstsales whoami` and tell me which workspace and organisation we are connected to.

Then ask me about my business: what I sell, who I sell to (roles, company size, countries), my best customers, and what I use today for outbound (tools, lists, mailboxes). Walk me through:
1. Teaching FirstSales my business: website, offer, proof points and case studies in the knowledge base, so the AI writes like someone who knows the product.
2. Connecting my sending mailboxes and checking my sending domain: SPF, DKIM, DMARC and warm-up. If anything is unhealthy, tell me the exact DNS record to add.
3. Bringing in contacts: import my CSV or CRM export into a clean list, remove duplicates and bad emails, and block domains I must never email (customers, competitors, my own).
4. Building my first campaign: the right list, senders, steps and timing. Write the sequence with me, show me the drafts, and do not launch until I say yes.
5. Setting up Signals if it fits: find people engaging with LinkedIn posts about topics my buyers care about, and turn them into leads.
6. Inviting my team and giving each person the right access.

Once campaigns run, show me how to work the reply inbox from here: which replies need an answer, draft responses in my voice, and move good conversations into deals. If I use Cal.com, connect it so follow-ups can offer my booking link (not the first email).

Throughout, as you learn about my business, proactively suggest and help create:
- Reply templates for the questions and objections my prospects are likely to raise, based on my product, site and codebase if you can see them.
- Campaign ideas and segments worth testing, with the reason for each.

Safety rules:
- Show every change as a dry run (--dry-run) first and wait for my yes. Never send emails, launch campaigns or delete anything without my yes.
- Tell me before anything that spends credits, and how many.

Be opinionated. If the docs give a sensible default, just use it. Don't make me choose between five options.
