About this exercise
Make a markdown table with columns Rep | Calls % | Emails % | Meetings % | Below 80%, one row per rep. Each percent is the rep's weekly count divided by the benchmark, rounded to a whole number and written like 85%. Below 80% lists the metric names under 80% (strictly less than 80%), or None. No bold and nothing outside the table. Under 80 words.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Flagging exactly 80%. The AI flags Ahmed's calls. Try: Add: "Flag only strictly under 80%."
- Using old benchmarks. The AI uses the retired numbers. Try: Add: "Use the current benchmarks."
- Adjusting for absence. The AI changes Chen's benchmark. Try: Add: "Do not adjust the benchmark."
- Extra commentary. The AI writes coaching advice. Try: Add: "Nothing outside the table, no bold."
What a strong prompt includes
