Ordered tasks (38) — this is what a project auto-creates

  • #1Personal Connection & LikingMediumTo Do

    Assignee: Unassigned · due 38 days after project start · takes 14 days

    The moment the buyer names their own gap out loud — and why your job is to engineer that admission rather than announce it for them.

    Assignee: Unassigned · due 52 days after project start · takes 14 days

  • #9Buyer Trust & Seller CredibilityHighTo Do

    Become the person a buyer will risk their reputation on, not just the vendor they enjoy meeting. It separates the two components of trust—competence and honesty—and how each is earned.

    Assignee: Unassigned · due 66 days after project start · takes 14 days

    Assignee: Unassigned · due 80 days after project start · takes 7 days

  • #15Teaching, Insight & ReframingMediumTo Do

    Bring the customer a commercial idea they didn't have — one that shifts their understanding of their own problem and quietly favors your solution. You'll learn to build and deliver insight rather than react to stated needs.

    Assignee: Unassigned · due 167 days after project start · takes 7 days

  • #21Buyer Risk, Fear & IndecisionMediumTo Do

    Address the buyer's fear of choosing wrong—the source of stalled deals, no-decisions, and 'we'll revisit next quarter.' It reframes your competitor as inaction itself.

  • #37Customer Loyalty & ReferralMediumTo Do

    Shows how the way a deal closes seeds—or sabotages—renewals, expansion, and the referrals that make your next quarter easier. It treats post-sale outcomes as an extension of your selling behavior, not the CS team's problem.

  • #38Sales Performance & RevenueHighTo Do
