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."
