Sales Development

This is a Hermes-native sales-development workflow skill.

Why This Exists

sales-development prepares evidence-bounded discovery and qualification guidance without claiming sales execution.

Do Not Use When

• The user needs a company-level positioning, market-entry, or strategic-options decision rather than account-level discovery; use strategy-brief.
• The user supplies a CRM export or pipeline snapshot and needs portfolio health, aging, slipped deals, forecast calibration, or renewal-risk review; use sales-pipeline-review.
• The user only wants a polished social post, newsletter, or one-off outbound-copy rewrite; use content-operator.
• The user asks to send outreach, update Salesforce or HubSpot, create an opportunity, or book a meeting; use connector-operator with explicit recipient, object, and authority.
• The request asks for current competitor or company evidence but supplies no source material; begin with research before presenting claims as observed.
