Getting Started

When you run this skill, I'll ask for what I need:

Required:

• Company or contact name
• Meeting type (discovery, demo, negotiation, check-in, etc.)

Helpful if you have it:

• Who's attending (names and titles)
• Any context you want me to know (paste prior notes, emails, etc.)

If you've connected your CRM, email, or other tools, I'll pull context automatically and skip the questions.

---

Connectors (Optional)

Connect your tools to supercharge this skill:

Connector	What It Adds
CRM	Account details, contact history, open deals, recent activities
Email	Recent threads with the company, open questions, attachments shared
Chat	Internal chat discussions (e.g. Slack) about the account, colleague insights
Transcripts	Prior call recordings, topics covered, competitor mentions
Calendar	Auto-find the meeting, pull attendees and description

No connectors? No problem. Just tell me about the meeting and paste any context you have. I'll research the rest.

Execution Flow

Step 1: Gather Context

If connectors available:

1. Calendar → Find upcoming meeting matching company name
   - Pull: title, time, attendees, description, attachments

2. CRM → Query account
   - Pull: account details, all contacts, open opportunities
   - Pull: last 10 activities, any account notes

3. Email → Search recent threads
   - Query: emails with company domain (last 30 days)
   - Extract: key topics, open questions, commitments

4. Chat → Search internal discussions
   - Query: company name mentions (last 30 days)
   - Extract: colleague insights, competitive intel

5. Transcripts → Find prior calls
   - Pull: call recordings with this account
   - Extract: key moments, objections raised, topics covered

If no connectors:

1. Ask user:
   - "What company are you meeting with?"
   - "What type of meeting is this?"
   - "Who's attending? (names and titles if you know)"
   - "Any context you want me to know? (paste notes, emails, etc.)"

2. Accept whatever they provide and work with it

Step 2: Research Supplement

Always run (web search):

1. "[Company] news" — last 30 days
2. "[Company] funding" — recent announcements
3. "[Company] leadership" — executive changes
4. "[Company] + [industry] trends" — relevant context
5. Attendee LinkedIn profiles — background research

Step 3: Synthesize & Generate

1. Combine all sources into unified context
2. Identify gaps in understanding → generate discovery questions
3. Anticipate objections based on stage and history
4. Create suggested agenda tailored to meeting type
5. Output formatted prep brief

Tips for Better Prep

1. More context = better prep — Paste emails, notes, anything you have
2. Name the attendees — Even just titles help me research
3. State your goal — "I want to get them to agree to a pilot"
4. Flag concerns — "They mentioned budget is tight"
