For salespeople
Four things, and one of them is “nothing needed”.
A salesperson's morning view: call Maria because she visited pricing twice and opened the proposal yesterday; review the draft the agent prepared for ACME; take over the Sunset conversation that reached pricing; nothing needed on Blue Coast, the follow-up is booked for Friday.
Your day
Thursday 15 October — four things, and one of them is nothing
Decide on the 8% discount Maria asked for
Sales Manager · Today — she expects an answer before the weekend
Why now
- The agent may offer up to 5%. Maria asked for 8%.
- A competitor quote was attached to her last email.
- The annual value is €14,200 against their current €15,000 with the incumbent.
Hold the renewal review, and raise emergency cover
Account Manager · This week
Why now
- 68 days to renewal — early enough to discuss scope rather than price.
- Three uncovered emergency incidents this quarter is the argument, and it is theirs rather than ours.
- Account health is good and there is nothing unresolved to apologise for first.
Send the proposal Jordi asked for five days ago
Senior Account Executive · Today
Why now
- He asked on 10 October. Nothing has been sent.
- He has opened the last email three times since, which is the behaviour of somebody still waiting.
- The agent has prepared a draft from the meeting notes.
Take the contractual terms conversation
Commercial Director · Today
Why now
- Elena asked for non-standard contractual terms across nine properties.
- No agent may agree contractual terms, on any configuration.
- At €22,400 this is the largest opportunity in the pipeline.
Short by design
If this list is twenty items long the product has failed at its actual job. Everything routine should already have been handled, and what is left should fit on one screen without scrolling.
Every item says why now
Not “follow up” but “she visited pricing twice and opened the proposal yesterday”. The reason is what lets somebody choose the order, and disagree where the order is wrong.
It includes what not to do
“No action needed — the follow-up is scheduled for Friday.” Explicitly saying that is what stops a salesperson spending the morning checking on things agents already have.
This is not a queue of automation to babysit
The distinction matters: the list contains work only a person should do. If it filled up with agent output awaiting approval, the product would have moved work around rather than removed it.
Questions this answers
The things you currently have to ask somebody.
Each of these is a question an owner asks regularly and currently answers from memory, a spreadsheet, or by interrupting whoever is nearest.
Who should I call first, and why them?
What is already handled?
What has an agent prepared for me to review?
What can I ignore today without anything going wrong?
Where this stops
What it does not do.
The list is built from recorded signals, so a lead who phoned a colleague's mobile and left no trace will not appear on it. It also does not know your diary's context — it can see a meeting is booked but not that you are on a train, and it will not reorder itself around things it cannot see. Prioritisation is a proposal: the order is arguable and the reasons are shown so that arguing with it takes two seconds.
