# Forward Deployed Selling

> An enterprise sales playbook for your agent: account theses, stakeholder maps, deal scoring and coaching, sourced from public data.

Forward Deployed Selling is an open-source Agent Skill by Angel Armendariz that teaches your agent an enterprise sales method. Before it drafts outreach, plans an account or coaches a deal, the agent qualifies who you're selling to, works out where the buyer is in their journey, and backs every claim with a source.

What you can do with it
- Qualify an ideal customer profile across market, persona and channel, then derive a go-to-market strategy from it
- Generate a thesis on a public company from its earnings calls, filings and press, and turn it into a one-page value provocation
- Profile stakeholders as user, buyer, sponsor or enabler, with what each one needs before saying yes
- Score an opportunity, find the wait states slowing a deal, and get coaching on a stalled one
- Decide whether to disqualify a deal, and revise a thesis after the prospect responds

How it works
- The skill is a sales doctrine plus protocols the agent loads by task: ICP definition, GTM strategy, value-proposition framing, coaching, disqualification, thesis revision and bringing in other teams
- It uses web search and fetch to gather public information on an account
- Every number is labelled KNOWN with its source, or INFERRED with a confidence level

Good to know
- Ethics rules are built in: it won't use personal information from outside a professional context, infer political or religious views, or fabricate case studies, references or metrics
- The author marks the timing and cycle-compression figures in the doctrine as design targets, not measured results
- Install it in Claude by uploading the folder as a skill, in Claude Code by placing it in ~/.claude/skills/forward-deployed-selling/, or with npx skills add vonarmen-wq/forward-deployed-selling
