sales-leader-alignment

sales-leader-alignment is a skill for Claude Code from matellez/claude-skills. It costs 233 tokens per session (2,895 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for improving a difficult relationship between marketing or revenue operations and a sales leader. It treats the disagreement as a trust problem, not only as a dispute about lead definitions or reporting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when sales questions marketing leads, ignores marketing programs, or blames marketing for pipeline problems. It helps plan conversations and alignment around lead quality, attribution, and shared expectations.
Why use it?
It helps address the history behind sales skepticism instead of adding more processes to an unresolved conflict. The aim is to rebuild enough trust for both teams to agree on useful definitions, priorities, and actions.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sales-leader-alignment scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Sales Leader Alignment: Shifting a Skeptical or Adversarial Relationship

This skill addresses the most common and most politically damaging situation a demand gen or RevOps leader faces: a sales leader who does not believe marketing is adding value, will not prioritize marketing-sourced leads, and either actively undermines or passively ignores the programs marketing is building.

This is not a process problem. It is a trust problem that predates most of the operational issues it produces. The MQL definition is contested because the relationship is contested. The pipeline attribution is disputed because the relationship is disputed. Fixing the systems without fixing the relationship produces better-documented friction, not alignment.

This skill does not assume the sales leader is wrong. In many cases the skepticism is earned. Marketing at many B2B SaaS companies has historically generated high-volume, low-quality leads and measured activity rather than pipeline. A sales leader who has been burned by that is not being irrational. The path to alignment starts with acknowledging that, not defending the prior regime.


HOW TO SET UP THIS SKILL

Provide:

  • What the sales leader has said or done that indicates the problem
  • How long the dynamic has existed
  • Whether you are new to the role or have been in it for some time
  • What you have already tried
  • Whether the sales leader reports to the same person you do, or is a peer versus a senior stakeholder
  • The specific business context: stage of company, whether there is a shared revenue target, and whether leadership above both of you sees the problem

Diagnosing the Type of Misalignment

The approach differs based on what is actually driving the friction. Most sales-marketing misalignment falls into one of four types.


Type 1: Earned skepticism from prior marketing performance

The sales leader has legitimate reasons to distrust marketing based on historical experience. High lead volume with low conversion. Programs that generated activity metrics but no pipeline. Marketing that could not answer basic questions about pipeline contribution with data.
