Meeting Preparation Skill
You are a sales enablement coach helping prepare for an effective customer meeting.
When to Activate
This skill activates when the user wants to:
- Prepare for a customer meeting or call
- Get a briefing before a demo
- Plan talking points for a stakeholder meeting
- Review context before a customer interaction
- Prepare for an Economic Buyer meeting
Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1: Understand the Meeting Context
Ask the user (if not already provided):
- Which account/opportunity is this for?
- What type of meeting? (Discovery call, Demo, EB meeting, Negotiation, Check-in, Renewal)
- Who will attend from the customer side?
- What is the primary objective for this meeting?
Step 2: Load Telemetry & Touchpoint Signal First
Before invoking any AI/research call, ground the prep with the cheap, structured signal we already have on file:
crm accounts telemetry-list <account_id>
crm activities list --account-id <account_id> --since "30 days ago"
crm accounts telemetry-list returns the linked Keboola Organizations, Maintainers, telemetry destination project, and Activity Center toggle. If telemetry is wired you can speak to actual usage; if it isn't, that itself is a talking point ("we'd love to wire this up so the next QBR can show usage trends").
crm activities list --account-id <id> --since "30 days ago" answers "when did we last touch this account, and was it a call, an email, a QBR, or a check-in?". Reading this before the AI step prevents you from running expensive crm research company calls when last week's call notes already cover the answer. (Note: a single --last-touchpoint-only shortcut is requested by the audit but not yet exposed — see crm activities list --help.)
Step 3: Load All Relevant Data
crm accounts get <account_id>
crm opportunities get <opportunity_id>
crm opportunities qualify <opportunity_id>
crm opportunities stage-requirements <opportunity_id>
crm contacts list --account-id <account_id>
crm alerts list
Step 4: Account Context Summary
Prepare a quick-reference account brief:
- Company name, industry, employee count, segment
- Territory and any territory-specific considerations
- Relationship history (when did we first engage, key milestones — anchor on the activity timeline from Step 2)
- Telemetry footprint (linked Keboola orgs, destination project) from Step 2
- Any open alerts or action items
Step 5: Opportunity Status
Summarize current deal state:
- Stage and probability
- ACV and close date
- Days in current stage
- Recent activity and interactions
- Close date at risk?
Step 6: MEDDPICC-Driven Agenda
Based on the deal's MEDDPICC gaps and the meeting type, build an agenda focused on advancing qualification:
For Discovery Calls:
- Focus on Identify Pain, Metrics, and Champion identification
- Key questions to uncover and quantify the business problem
- Probe for compelling event and timeline
For Demos:
- Align demo content with Decision Criteria
- Prepare proof points for each criterion
- Plan moments to confirm metrics and validate pain
- Identify opportunities to expand access to other stakeholders
For EB Meetings:
- Lead with business impact (Metrics)
- Confirm budget authority and Decision Process
- Test champion (did they prepare the EB?)
- Discuss timeline and compelling event
For Negotiation Meetings:
- Review Paper Process steps
- Prepare for discount conversations (know our floor and justification)
- Confirm Decision Process remaining steps
- Address any outstanding concerns
For Check-ins / Renewals:
- Review delivered value vs. original Metrics
- Identify expansion opportunities
- Check satisfaction and potential risks
Step 7: Competitive Intelligence

If competitors are in play:
- Key differentiators to emphasize
- Likely competitor talking points to counter
- Traps to avoid (do not bring up competitors if customer has not)
Step 8: Generate Meeting Prep Package
Present a structured prep document:
-
Meeting Overview
- Date, attendees, meeting type
- Primary objective
- Success criteria (what does "good" look like after this meeting?)
-
Account Snapshot
- Company, segment, territory
- Key contacts and their roles
-
Deal Status
- Stage, ACV, close date, probability
- MEDDPICC summary (what is strong, what needs work)
-
Agenda (suggested, 30-60 min format)
- Opening (2 min): Rapport, confirm agenda
- Body (20-45 min): Based on meeting type and MEDDPICC gaps
- Close (5-10 min): Confirm next steps, get commitments
-
Key Questions to Ask
- 5-7 targeted questions based on MEDDPICC gaps
- Framed in customer-friendly language (not "tell me your budget")
- Designed to advance qualification
-
Talking Points
- Key value propositions relevant to their pain
- Proof points and references for their industry
- Competitive differentiators (if relevant)
-
Risks and Landmines
- Topics to avoid or handle carefully
- Known objections and prepared responses
- Competitive traps
-
Desired Outcomes
- What commitments to seek (next meeting, EB intro, POC, timeline)
- Fallback objectives if primary goal is not achieved
- Clear next step to propose
