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.
Examples
Good example:
- Prompt: Build a discovery plan and qualification questions for a mid-market prospect considering our support platform.
- Expected behavior: Prepare account evidence gaps, discovery and qualification questions, value hypotheses, and an owned next-step plan.
- Why: The request is account-level sales discovery, not outreach execution or company strategy.
Bad example:
- Prompt: Write a LinkedIn launch post for our new feature.
- Expected behavior: Route to
content-operator, not sales-development.
- Why: A one-off social post has no account qualification or discovery objective.
Completion Checklist
- The decision, options, tradeoffs, assumptions, and rejected alternatives are named.
- Observed signals are separated from strategic inference.
- Accepted decisions and implementation follow-ups are not conflated.
Recovery Notes
- If evidence is mostly assumption, label it and recommend a research or feedback-triage pass.
- If the decision owner is missing, keep the output as options rather than accepted strategy.
Workflow Lane
- Current lane: Research and company ops (
product-docs, source-finder, web-research, research, best-practice-research, autoresearch-goal, model-optimization, inference-serving, +20 more) - research, signals, ops, and briefings.
- If intent belongs to another lane, hand back to
oh-my-hermes or name the adjacent workflow.

Use When
Use when a seller or business-development owner needs account context, buyer hypotheses, qualification questions, value narrative, partner/outreach plan, and a non-executing next-step sequence.
Strong routing signals: `sales discovery`, `account plan`, `outbound messaging`, `영업 발굴`, `고객사 계획`, `아웃바운드 메시지`
Catalog Metadata
Category: strategy
Phase: sales-development
Hermes role: operator
Quality tier: decision-gated
Reasoning demand: standard
Quality bar:
- Separate account evidence, buyer hypotheses, qualification questions, and next-step ownership.
- Keep outreach drafts and CRM actions explicitly non-executing.
Handoff policy:
Keep domain framing, clarification, source/evidence synthesis, draft outputs, and next-work routing in Hermes. A prepared brief, review, reply, or plan is not an external action, approval, filing, send, publish, data mutation, implementation, review, CI, or merge claim. Prepare a connector, file, coding, or human-review handoff only when the user explicitly accepts that next step; report it only from observed evidence. Hermes prepares research, discovery, and message guidance; it does not research unobserved facts as facts, contact prospects, create opportunities, change CRM data, book meetings, or claim revenue or progress.
Required inputs:
- account or segment
- available evidence
- buyer hypothesis
- sales objective
Expert clarification questions:
account or segment
- English: Which fit criteria and disqualifiers, offer or use case, stage and owner, geography, and evidenced stakeholders and roles define the account or segment?
- Korean: 어떤 적합 기준과 제외 기준, 제안 또는 사용 사례, 단계와 책임자, 지역, 근거가 있는 이해관계자와 역할이 계정 또는 세그먼트를 정의하나요?
Expected outputs:
- sales_opportunity_evidence_record/v1
- sales_qualification_state/v1
- sales_draft_sequence/v1
- sales_handoff_disposition/v1
Artifact expectations:
- prepared sales development brief when a wrapper captures it
Safety rules:
- Treat unsupported company and competitor information as evidence gaps, not facts.
- Do not claim prospect contact, CRM mutation, meeting booking, opportunity creation, revenue, or progress.
Procedure: load references/procedure.md.
Runtime Evidence
Preferred harness for this skill: ops-review.
omh runtime record --skill sales-development --harness ops-review --status started
Record observed delegation results; otherwise return not_available or not_observed.
Prepared OMH routing is not execution, review, CI, merge-readiness, or merge evidence.
- Treat wrapper memory/context summaries as advisory local context, not proof of opaque Hermes memory reads or changes.
Preserve workflow intent and stop conditions; verify before claiming completion.
Use Hermes-native subagent/delegation features when available: native subagents -> Hermes delegation when available, otherwise sequential lanes.
Shared product, compatibility, topology, memory, harness, and execution rules: omh-routing/references/skill-common-rail.md. Load it when applicable; otherwise name an unavailable capability.
