Agent

Monitor client market and leadership shifts

I can't manually track news across twenty accounts — I need something that surfaces what matters before I notice it myself.

Skill

Spot a genuine hook for a client

I have something worth sending — I just don't know if it's actually relevant to them or if I'm reaching.

Skill

Draft the value-adding note

I know what I want to say but I can't get the tone right — it keeps sounding like I want something.

Skill

Prep the check-in talking points

The call is in two hours and I don't want it to feel like I'm just checking a box.

Skill

Distil the call into signals and next touch

We had a good conversation but if I don't capture it now, the nuance will be gone in a day.

Skill

Judge the right moment and recipient to flag capacity

I have a window coming up but I don't know if reaching out now will feel opportunistic.

Skill

Draft the low-pressure availability message

I want them to know we're available without it sounding like a sales call.

Skill

Compose the relationship log entry

I need this written up properly so a colleague could pick up the relationship without me having to brief them.

Skill

Extract latent needs from client touchpoints

They said something in passing that felt important — I want to know if there's a pattern across our recent conversations.

Skill

Diagnose the real problem behind the signal

We keep describing their problem in terms of what they said rather than what's actually going on.

Skill

Bound the addressable scope

We know the problem but we're trying to eat too much of it — we need to draw a line.

Skill

Draft the engagement proposition or brief

I need to put something in front of them that they can push back on — not another exploratory conversation.

Skill

Iterate scope from sponsor feedback

They liked the direction but the scope is wrong — I need to reshape this without losing what landed.

Skill

Find the reason to reconnect

We haven't spoken to them in eighteen months — I need a real reason to reach out, not just 'checking in'.

Skill

Compose the re-engagement outreach tied to a brief

I want this to feel like picking up where we left off, not like a cold pitch to someone we used to know.

Skill

Infer the org's power and budget topology

We only know one part of this organisation and we're trying to figure out where else we could be useful.

Skill

Score adjacent areas against expansion criteria

We have five potential areas to pursue — I need to know which one to focus on first and why.

Skill

Choose the one or two areas to pursue next

We've done the analysis; now I need to commit to something rather than hedge across all of them.

Skill

Craft a natural reason to connect

I need to get in front of this person but I don't have a natural way in — I need a reason that doesn't feel manufactured.

Skill

Rehearse the relationship-opening conversation

I've done a hundred of these first meetings — but this one has a specific dynamic I want to think through before I walk in.

Skill

Shape a low-risk, easy-to-approve bridge scope

I need something they can say yes to easily — something that gets us in the room without requiring a six-figure sign-off.

Skill

Prepare the foothold session to maximise credibility

This is our one shot to show a new part of the organisation what we can do — I need it to land.

Skill

Draft a tailored testimonial request

I want to ask them for a quote but I don't want to make it feel like homework — it needs to be easy to respond to.

Skill

Tighten the returned client quote

They gave me something genuine but it's a bit long and muddled — I need it tighter without changing what they actually said.

Skill

Draft the case study narrative

The engagement went well but turning it into something a prospect will actually read is a different skill.

Skill

Prepare the client sign-off checklist

I don't want to send a draft for sign-off and get back a list of corrections — I need to catch everything first.

Skill

Draft the reference permission ask

I want to ask them to be a reference but I don't want it to feel like I'm putting them on the spot.

Skill

Build the reference talking-points brief

They've agreed to be a reference — now I need to set them up so they know what to expect and what to say.

Skill

Draft the warm intro and prospect prep

I need to make the introduction without it feeling staged — and the prospect needs to know who they're calling and why.

Skill

Draft the dual-sided post-call follow-up

The call happened — now I need to close the loop on both sides before any momentum is lost.

Skill

Frame the referral ask and ideal-target spec

I want to ask them to introduce us to someone — but I can't just say 'do you know anyone?' and expect it to work.

Skill

Draft a forwardable intro note for the client

They said yes to the introduction — now I need to make it as easy as possible for them to actually send it.
