Find my next meeting with people outside [my company domain] on my calendar and write a one-page brief. Start with the meeting time and attendees so I can check it's the right one. Then cover:

1. From my CRM: deal stage, amount, close date, the last five activities with dates, and open tasks.
2. From the web: news about the company from the last [30] days, with sources and dates.
3. Three questions to ask, each tied to something above.
4. Risks I should know about.

If the CRM has no data for a section, write "nothing logged" instead of filling it in. Read only: don't change anything in my tools.

Quote the buyer's own words where your call recorder gives them, with the call date. Before you use Gong, tell me how many lookups you'll run (each may use credits) and wait for my OK. If an answer comes from Gong, it's a summary, not a quote: label it that way, and say which call it came from if Gong shows it. If you only find one call, say so.

Review the deal [deal name] using my CRM and my call recorder.

Check what we know about each MEDDICC element: metrics (the result they want), economic buyer, decision criteria, decision process, identify pain (the problem they named), champion and competition. For each one, mark it known, partly known or unknown, and give the evidence, with its date if you have it. Before you use Gong, tell me how many lookups you'll run (each may use credits) and wait for my OK. If an answer comes from Gong, it's a summary, not a quote: label it that way, and say which call it came from if Gong shows it.

Then write one question per gap for me to ask on my next call. Read only: don't change anything in my tools.
