About this prompt
This prompt helps AEs and sales managers handle the late-stage trap where the business buyer wants to move but procurement is squeezing on price and terms. It reads who really holds the pen, activates your champion without burning them, and gives you give-get trades and a walk-away read. Use it when you're caught relaying conflicting messages between a ready champion and a stalling procurement team.Late-stage deals stall when the business buyer is sold but procurement runs a process that drags and squeezes. This prompt gives you a plan to navigate both sides at once. Describe the business buyer or champion and how badly they want it, WHAT PROCUREMENT IS PUSHING FOR on price, terms, or process, where the two conflict, your DEAL and close pressure, and your NEGOTIATING POSITION such as competition, an exec relationship, or urgency on their side, and it returns a read on whether procurement can actually kill the deal or is running a process the buyer can override, the exact ask to make of your champion to apply internal pressure without making them feel used, the posture and give-get trades to handle procurement directly, a move to get both parties into one conversation so you stop relaying mixed messages, and the signal that procurement is bluffing versus a genuine dealbreaker. Use this when procurement is the blocker; use the finance-objection prompt when the pushback is about value rather than terms. For best results, be specific about your negotiating position, since the trades it recommends are only as good as the position you're negotiating from.The prompt
