Step 1 of 2
Capture notes the AE can actually use
The qualified handoff is the real unit of your job. An AE who walks into a meeting blind because your notes were thin will stop trusting your pipeline. Capture the four things that let them prep in two minutes.
The handoff brief
- Trigger
- Why now - the hiring wave, migration or AI mandate that made this timely
- Pain
- The workflow problem you surfaced, with any rough numbers they gave
- Stakeholders
- Who you spoke to, who has budget, who can block on security
- Current tooling
- What they use now (Copilot, internal tool, existing Cursor usage) and the gap
Trigger, pain, stakeholders, tooling - four lines that turn a calendar invite into a meeting an AE can win.
