Deal summary:
- Company: [Company]
- Deal value: [ACV / TCV]
- Expected close date: [Date]

E – Economic Buyer: Who is it? Have I met them? What do I know about their priorities?
D – Decision Criteria: What criteria are they using to evaluate options? Formal or informal?
D – Decision Process: What is the actual buying process, timeline, and who approves?
I – Identify Pain: Is there a compelling event? What happens if they do nothing?

Campaign context:

Sequence:
Email 1 (Day 1): Personalized cold open — lead with insight or pain, not pitch
Email 2 (Day 3): Social proof angle — reference a relevant customer result
Email 3 (Day 7): Different pain angle or use case — come at the problem differently
Email 4 (Day 12): A useful resource, benchmark data, or relevant insight (give value)
Email 5 (Day 18): Graceful breakup email — short, honest, leave the door open

For each email, provide: subject line, preview text, body copy (under 100 words each), and a one-line note explaining the strategic intent.

Our company: [Company name]
Our solution: [Description + key strengths]
Competitor: [Competitor name]
What I know about their product: [Feature set, pricing model, target market, known weaknesses from reviews/customer feedback]
Our mutual target customer: [ICP description]

Battlecard sections:
1. Competitor overview (2 sentences: what they are, who they target)
2. Where they win (honest assessment — do not downplay their strengths)
3. Where we win (our genuine differentiators for this buyer type)
4. Landmines to plant (questions I can ask the prospect that surface their weaknesses naturally — without being negative)
5. How to handle "We're already talking to [Competitor]" (a non-defensive, confident response)
6. Trap questions they may ask me (questions their sales team typically asks to make us look bad) + how to handle each
7. One-line positioning statement that acknowledges the competitor respectfully while directing attention to our differentiator

- What I know about their budget: [Confirmed budget, fiscal year end, procurement involvement]
- Decision timeline: [Their deadline and any urgency factors]
- Our flexibility: [Max discount authorized, terms flexibility, payment options, add-ons you can offer or remove]
- Competitive situation: [Are they running a competitive process?]
- Our BATNA: [What happens if this deal does not close — is there a waitlist, another opportunity, capacity constraints?]

Please provide:
1. Opening anchor statement (how to start the conversation to frame on value, not discount)
2. Concession sequence: what to give up first, second, and last — and how to frame each concession as a trade
3. 3 non-price variables I can use as trading chips (e.g., payment terms, contract length, support tier, phased implementation)
4. How to respond to "your competitor is cheaper" without defensive discounting
5. A close — the final ask that creates urgency without manufactured pressure
6. Red lines: what I should NOT agree to and why

Deal outcome: [WON / LOST]
Deal value: [ACV]
Sales cycle length: [Weeks/months]
Competitor we lost to (if applicable): [Competitor or "status quo"]

Deal narrative (be as detailed as possible):
[Paste your deal timeline, discovery notes, objections raised, champion strength, economic buyer engagement, pricing conversation, final decision rationale if known, any exit interview feedback]

Please analyze:
1. Top 3 factors that drove the outcome (be honest — separate what we controlled vs. what we did not)
2. Moments in the deal where the trajectory shifted (positive or negative)
3. What we did well that should be replicated
4. What we should have done differently (with specific, actionable recommendations)
5. Signal we missed early that would have indicated this outcome
6. One lesson for each: the AE, the SDR, the SE/solutions team, and sales leadership
7. If LOST: probability of re-engaging in 6-12 months and recommended nurture strategy
8. If WON: the 2-3 factors that were decisive — how do we systematically engineer more of this?
