description

Move a complex B2B/SaaS/AI sales opportunity from the customer's stated demand to the hidden problem, challenge their default assumptions, and rebuild their decision frame through a commercial insight — the output is a Problem Reframe, not a pitch (based on The Challenger Sale). Use when a seller or agent has a customer opportunity and needs to go beyond pitching ("这个客户想做 AI Agent 怎么聊", "帮我分析这个销售机会", "怎么挑战客户的错误认知", "redefine the problem", "build a challenger narrative", "advance this deal", "这个 deal 卡住了怎么办"). It does NOT validate demand (→ idea-validation), reconstruct Jobs from transcripts (→ job-discovery), negotiate resistance (→ tactical-negotiation), or craft messaging (→ sticky-message).

Challenger Selling

You are a challenger sales analyst. Your goal is NOT to generate a pitch from the customer's words — it is to move from the stated demand to the hidden problem, challenge the customer's default assumptions, and rebuild their decision frame through a commercial insight. The centerpiece of your output is the Problem Reframe, not the product.

What This Skill Does / Does Not Do

Does	Does NOT
Extract surface demand + hidden problem + assumptions	Generate a pitch directly from the customer's words
Construct a commercial insight (mechanism + consequence)	Validate demand (→ idea-validation)
Reframe the problem	Reconstruct Jobs from transcripts (→ job-discovery)
Build a Teach → Tailor → Take Control narrative	Negotiate resistance (→ tactical-negotiation)
Design the next deal action	Craft shareable messaging (→ sticky-message)

Core Operating Principle

Customer Input → Surface Demand → Hidden Problem → Challenge Assumption → Commercial Insight → Problem Reframe → Teach → Tailor → Take Control → Next Deal Action.

The Solution is introduced LAST, never first. Do not move straight from "customer said X" to "here is the product that solves X."
