Employer-side hiring workflow for SDR/BDR and AE roles, producing an outcome-based scorecard, a structured interview loop with question bank, a scored mock-call work sample, and a 30-60-90 ramp plan with certification gates. Recommends SDR vs AE vs full-cycle from ACV, cycle length and inbound volume, and rests on selection-validity evidence - structured interviews, independent scoring, no brainteasers. Use whenever the user mentions hiring a rep, sales interview questions, a hiring scorecard, a mock call interview, rep onboarding, or a ramp plan, even without the word hiring. Do NOT use for candidate-side prep (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-career) or comp plan design (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-comp-design).
Estimates TAM, SAM, and SOM for a market or sub-segment to ground sales capacity, territory, and quota planning - top-down, bottom-up on named accounts or population math, value theory, triangulation, a capacity-based SOM ceiling, and a per-layer refresh cadence. A macro planning exercise for sales leadership and RevOps, covering B2B and B2C. Use whenever the user mentions TAM, SAM, SOM, market size, addressable market, "how big is this market", or the number behind next year's quota, even without those acronyms. Sizes for planning, not pitching. Do NOT use for defining the ICP (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-icp-definition) or turning SOM into quotas (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-quota-setting).
Designs the tier layer downstream of an existing account fit score - where the cutoffs sit, tier names, rep-to-account capacity caps, the coverage model per tier (touch cadence, channel mix, QBR frequency, executive involvement), coverage-ratio health metrics, and the recalibration cadence. Covers B2B account tiering and B2C key-account tiering through retail/distribution channels. Use whenever the user mentions tiers, strategic/key/growth/long-tail accounts, accounts-per-rep ratios, 1:1 or 1:few or 1:many ABM coverage, or "everything drifted into Tier 1", even without the word tiering. Takes the fit score as input. Do NOT use for building that score (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-account-segmentation).
Builds and maintains a personalized watch list of sales information sources - podcasts, newsletters, communities, benchmark reports, and sales people to follow - matched to the user's role, market, and time budget, shipped as a dated verified-source snapshot with per-source status and a freshness check that catches rebranded or dead sources. Covers B2B SaaS and B2C high-ticket as separate ecosystems. Use whenever the user mentions sales newsletters, sales podcasts, who to follow in sales, sales communities, staying current in sales, or refreshing a reading list, even without the word radar. Do NOT use for career or interview prep (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-career).
Defines the company's ideal customer profile (ICP) at sales-leadership altitude - the firmographic, technographic, behavioral and intent criteria, a weighted scoring rubric with explicit disqualifiers, and the refresh cadence that targeting keys off. Works from closed-won/lost deal data, or from founder-led discovery when deal data is thin. Covers B2B account ICPs and the equivalent B2C demographic/psychographic profile. Use whenever the user mentions the ideal or target customer, buyer profile, "who should we sell to", or targeting that is too broad, even without the letters ICP. Do NOT use for TAM/SAM/SOM sizing (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-market-sizing) or account fit scoring (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-account-segmentation).
Models how much pipeline a team needs relative to quota - coverage ratios derived from win rates (raw multiplier, stage-weighted, conversion-inversion), segment-level coverage targets, in-quarter timing and the point of no return, seasonality indexing, and pipeline-gap math that turns a ratio into new-pipeline-required. A macro modeling exercise for sales leadership and RevOps, covering B2B and high-velocity/B2C motions. Use whenever the user mentions pipeline coverage, 3x pipeline, a pipeline gap, forecast shortfall, or "we missed quota with 4x coverage", even without the word coverage. Do NOT use for deriving the quota itself (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-quota-setting) or inspecting one deal (mbfinotti/sales-skills@deal-red-flags).
Before starting any sales project, and before answering a sales request that spans more than one sales topic or names no skill at all, run this router first. It routes the task to exactly one skill in the sales-skills collection, or says plainly that none fits, and bootstraps or resumes the project's shared sales-context.md artifact, producing a short-list plus an ordered skill chain. Fires on the state of the conversation rather than the subject matter, at a sales project start, at a periodic sales check-in or recurring sales review, on a mid-project re-route, or on any broad or ambiguous sales request such as "which sales skill do I need" or "where do I start with sales". Covers both altitudes, CRO-altitude planning (motion, ICP, market sizing, segmentation, tiering, org structure, quota, coverage, comp) and execution (outbound, cold calling, discovery, objections, MEDDPICC, recaps, call review, hiring, career). Run it even when sibling skills are already in daily use elsewhere.
Turns raw sales call notes into a structured recap email with agreed next steps - every action item carrying an owner, a date, and a deliverable - plus mutual close plan (mutual action plan) items when the deal warrants one. Restates the buyer's pain in their own words and never invents a commitment the notes don't contain. Covers complex B2B committee deals and transactional or B2C motions. Use whenever the user mentions a recap email, follow-up after a sales call, next steps email, post-call summary, or a mutual action plan, even without the word recap. Do NOT use for judging how the call went (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-call-review).
Coach one person through landing and growing a sales career - SDR/BDR entry, SDR-to-AE promotion, and beyond - across B2B SaaS and commission-heavy B2C (real estate, insurance, solar, auto). Covers sales interview prep (mock cold call, sell-me-this-pen, candidate-authored 30-60-90 plan), quantified track-record evidence, sales skill-gap roadmaps, employer diligence, and sales offer evaluation from the candidate's seat, anchored to dated benchmarks (Bridge Group, RepVue, NAR). Use for "sales career", "break into tech sales", "sdr interview prep", "sdr to ae path", "evaluate this sales offer". Does not cover the hiring side (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-hiring), job searching or auto-applying, resume file generation, or deal execution tactics.
Chooses and designs the company-level sales motion at VP Sales / CRO altitude - product-led growth (PLG), sales-led, hybrid product-led sales, developer-led/open-source, or channel/partner-led - plus the transitions between them (exiting founder-led sales, layering sales onto self-serve, moving upmarket, adding channel), mapped to ACV, time-to-value, buyer-vs-user separation, TAM shape and procurement friction. Covers B2B SaaS and consumer self-serve motions. Use whenever the user mentions PLG vs sales-led, hiring the first salesperson, going upmarket, self-serve vs demo, or adding partners, even without the word motion. Do NOT use for org topology (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-org-structure) or quotas (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-quota-setting).
Plans a touch-by-touch outbound cadence - which channel on which day, touch count, spacing, channel mix, multi-threading, exit and stop rules, recycle and re-entry, and the capacity math behind it, with pre-committed metric thresholds. Use whenever the user mentions a sequence, cadence, follow-up timing, Outreach or Salesloft steps, a drip, "how many touches", inbound-lead or event follow-up, closed-lost re-engagement, or B2C lifecycle and SMS flows, even without the word cadence. Do NOT use for message copy, subject lines (mbfinotti/sales-skills@cold-email-subject-line-tester), call scripts (mbfinotti/sales-skills@cold-call-opener), or inbox placement (mbfinotti/sales-skills@cold-email-deliverability).
Reviews a cold email draft and its sending setup for deliverability - SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment, sender reputation and complaint risk, body mechanics (length, links, images, tracking pixels, HTML vs plain text, opt-out), and legal compliance by region. Covers B2B cold outbound and B2C bulk/lifecycle mail. Use whenever the user mentions the spam folder, blacklisting, domain warmup, inbox placement, bounce rates, DMARC, or "why are my emails not landing", even without the word deliverability. Do NOT use for subject lines (mbfinotti/sales-skills@cold-email-subject-line-tester) or cadence (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-outbound-sequence). Hygiene and compliance only, never spam-filter evasion.
