Overview

This skill helps answer an objection or a competitor showing up in a deal. It works out what the buyer really means, finds responses that won before, and backs them with proof points from your own win/loss records and customer quotes.

  • Build a scored prospect listThis skill finds and qualifies prospects, with separate paths for software companies, other business-to-business sellers, and neighborhood shops. It defines the ideal customer, gathers candidates, checks each one, and scores them. Results come back as a table, or as a CSV file once the list gets long. Compliance rules forbid mass scraping.SalesProspectingLead Generation
