About this prompt
This prompt helps AEs and sales managers break an internal deadlock when their own team is split on whether to pursue a deal. It names the real disagreement, steelmans each side, frames the decision, and drafts an alignment message that moves the group forward. Use it when SE viability, legal, or manager hesitation is stalling a deal and the team is arguing past each other.Internal disagreement kills more deals quietly than any prospect objection, usually because people argue past each other without agreeing on what they're arguing about. This prompt helps you pin the real conflict and move to a decision. Describe the DEAL and stage, WHO DISAGREES AND ABOUT WHAT, the POSITIONS of who wants what and why, the SHARED FACTS everyone agrees on, WHAT INACTION COSTS, and WHERE I LAND AND WHY, and it returns a diagnosis of whether the split is about facts, risk tolerance, incentives, or priorities, a fair steelman of each side, the two or three questions that would settle it, a concrete path to alignment naming who decides and what to de-risk first, and a short group message that reframes the debate productively. Use this when the blocker is your own team; use the manage-up prompt when you need a single leader to back you. For best results, write your honest view in WHERE I LAND AND WHY, because the prompt will tell you when the skeptics are right and you should walk rather than fight your team to chase a bad deal.The prompt
