Your Best Closers Shouldn’t Be Stuck Doing $20 Tasks
Your top salespeople should be spending their time creating revenue. Instead, they’re updating CRM records, scheduling meetings, chasing signatures, and managing the administrative work surrounding every deal. Those tasks matter, but they’re not the highest-value use of your most expensive talent. The free guide 5 Reasons You Aren’t Hitting Quota: The Sales Operations Gap Examined helps sales leaders identify the operational gaps that can pull reps away from selling. BELAY supports sales teams by matching them with U.S.-based Sales Assistants who manage the work around the sale, from CRM management and lead routing to follow-up coordination.

How to Build a Personal Research Assistant with Claude
Keep your research files and instructions in one Claude Project so you do not have to explain the same background every time. You can return to that workspace whenever you need to explore a question or update your research.
Step 1: Open Claude
Open the Claude desktop app and sign in to your account.
Step 2: Create a Research Project
Select Projects from the left sidebar, then click + New Project.
Give your project a focused name, such as AI Productivity Research, and add a short description of what you want to investigate.
Step 3: Add Your Research Sources
In the project’s knowledge section, click + to upload your documents.
Add reports, research papers, notes, or previous analyses that Claude should reference. Files added here are available across conversations within the Project.
Step 4: Set Your Research Instructions
Click Set project instructions and explain how you want Claude to research and respond.
For example:
Act as my research assistant for [topic]. Use my project files as background and prioritize credible primary sources when researching online. Cite sources, separate facts from interpretation, and flag conflicting evidence or missing information. Organize findings into Key Findings, Evidence, Implications, and Open Questions. Build on relevant previous work in this project.
Replace [topic] with your research focus, then click Save instructions. Claude will use these instructions throughout the Project.
Step 5: Start Research Whenever You Need It
Open your Project and start a new research task.
For example:
Research the latest developments in [topic] and update my existing analysis with anything materially new. Include source links and publication dates
Keep related research inside the same Project. With memory enabled and tasks running in the cloud, Claude can use context from previous work in that Project while keeping it separate from unrelated projects.
Use this setup for competitor research, coursework, or content planning. Add new material as your work develops and return whenever you have another question to investigate.
