What we install

Start with five signals.

One Thursday drop, one account, every hand. Scout finds Harlow. Walk it through. The chain names the rest. The handover into success is usually the constraint.

84%

of sellers missed quota last year. Headcount is not a motion.

That is why we exist. An engine that runs from day one beats a hire who tells you nothing for nine months.

The closer · In the call

The mechanics sit in the room.

39 named moves, from the upfront contract to the last ten percent of price. The closer walks Open through Negotiate. The coach watches for the miss.

Diagnose · Finding the gap and its cause

Literal current state

Get their present situation in numbers and nouns, not adjectives. 'It's messy' is not a current state. 'Four people, two spreadsheets, six days a month' is.

The miss

  • Adjective discovery. You collected feelings about the problem, not measurements of it.
  • Jumped to solution. You started describing your product before the current state was quantified.

Say this

A line written from this call. The catalogue names the kind of move, never the wording.

Thinking

Why that line, and what they have not actually said yet.

Follow up

The next question, while you can still use the answer.

Still a hole

The miss this mechanic is watching for, not a keyword.

Hear both sides, your microphone and the meeting, labelled. After the call the stage is derived from evidence, never dragged. Each rung has a killer the coach is already watching for.

Free. First five the same day.

Start with five signals

Tell us what you sell and who signs it. Five companies in your market with a dated reason to talk to them land on a private board the same day, each with the evidence and the first line. No card, and nothing sends unless you send it.
