Why This Matters
Do not jump from "we found a prospect" straight to "write a cold email." First decide why the account matters, who to approach, which angle fits and what the next step is.

AVOID / DON'T LEAD WITH
Generic supplier introduction, price-first pitch, broad catalog dump. The Knowledge Base does not just tell the AI what to say — it also tells it what not to say.
Why We Entered It This Way
Why not lead with price? For a technical buyer, price rarely matters before technical fit is established. Lead with capability, then discuss price in context.
Why encode the forbidden moves? The Knowledge Base contains forbidden rules and sales rules. Strategy is where those rules become concrete: what to open with, and what to avoid.
