Validate Champion Strength and Get Next-Step Guidance

Assess whether a deal contact qualifies as a true champion and produce a clear recommended action.

About this prompt

This prompt helps AEs determine whether a deal contact is a genuine champion or a passive supporter using a structured set of behavioral tests. It takes the contact's title, what they've done, what they've committed to, and the current deal stage, then produces an honest assessment and a recommended next step. Use it during evaluation when a deal's internal momentum is unclear.When a deal stalls at evaluation, the root cause is often that the rep has a friendly contact rather than a real champion — someone who likes the product but won't fight for it internally. This prompt operationalizes the champion assessment by running your contact's actual behaviors against three criteria (power, access, and will) and five test questions that surface whether they've gone beyond passive support. Fill [TITLE] and [DEAL STAGE] for context, but the assessment lives or dies on [ACTIONS THEY'VE TAKEN] and [COMMITMENTS THEY'VE MADE] — be specific, not aspirational. Unlike the companion prompt (0026), which uses a richer five-field profile format, this version is leaner and better suited for a quick in-meeting or post-call assessment when you have partial information. The output closes with a concrete next step, not just a diagnosis — whether that's a specific ask to test the contact's commitment or a plan to find a stronger advocate elsewhere. Run this prompt after any meeting where you're uncertain how hard your contact is actually working for you.
