5 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
First Sales Rep Selection Contract
Use this workflow when an early company needs to define, interview, choose, onboard, or score its first non-founder sales operator for full-cycle selling, high agency, customer curiosity, honest documentation, founder partnership, and motion-building—not pedigree or pipeline theater.
Output Return a first sales rep selection contract with:
Founder Sales Learning Loop
Use this workflow when an early B2B founder must turn serious buyer conversations and revenue attempts into direct product, market, positioning, pricing, qualification, and GTM learning instead of outsourcing discovery or performing sales activity.
Output Return a founder sales learning loop with:
Founder Sales Transfer Readiness
Use this workflow when a founder is tired, busy, considering a first sales hire, or claiming demand and must test whether enough buyer, pain, trigger, demo, qualification, pricing, objection, and deal learning is repeatable beyond founder intuition or network trust.
Output Return a founder sales transfer-readiness review with:
Sales Leadership and Founder Sensing Transition
Use this workflow when non-founder selling exists and the company must decide whether management is now the bottleneck, hire sales leadership at the right stage, transfer authority, and preserve deliberate founder market sensing without deal rescue or micromanagement.
Output Return a sales leadership transition review with:
Sales Motion Codification Loop
Use this workflow when a founder and first rep must turn weekly field evidence into a transferable ICP, account rule, messaging, discovery, demo, qualification, objection, pricing, product-feedback, CRM, and handoff system without premature bureaucracy.
Output Return a sales motion codification update with:
Human review
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
