Map internal stakeholders to win a complex deal

Build an internal power map showing who you need, who can block you, and the order to win them over.

About this prompt

This prompt builds an internal power map for a complex deal so you know who to win over inside your own org before deadline pressure hits. It grades each internal stakeholder by incentive, stance, and power, then sequences the conversations. Use it for an AE or sales manager pushing a non-standard deal that needs cross-functional buy-in.Winning a complex deal externally means winning your own org first, and the internal block is often what kills momentum under deadline. This prompt builds the power map. Name the deal in ACCOUNT / DEAL and what's non-standard in DEAL + WHAT NEEDS INTERNAL BUY-IN; list the people in SE, CS, LEGAL, DEAL DESK, FINANCE, MY MANAGER, EXEC SPONSOR; state what you need in APPROVAL / RESOURCES / EXEC SPONSOR / SPEED; and name the friction in WHAT'S IN MY WAY INTERNALLY. It produces a stakeholder grid scoring each person on incentive, stance, and power, the critical path of whose yes you actually need and in what order, what each ally needs from you to become an advocate, where the landmines are, and a sequence of moves so momentum builds instead of one no poisoning the rest. Use this for internal alignment on a deal — for mapping the customer's buying committee, use an external stakeholder-mapping prompt. Tip: be candid in WHAT'S IN MY WAY INTERNALLY, since the prompt will flag any plan that relies on someone acting against their own incentive and route you a better path.
