The 4-minute mental model behind Helping move a deal forward.
The idea in one line
On the surface, Helping move a deal forward can look like a single technique you either know or you don't.
Why it's worth your time
Engineering that ignores the business gets overruled by it.
How to recognise it in the wild
1. Spot the moment. Notice when *helping move a deal forward* is the move the situation is asking for — usually when it's tempting to skip it. 2. Name the goal. Say, in one sentence, what a good outcome looks like here. 3. See the core move. The heart of Helping move a deal forward is simple: identify the next step that unblocks a deal. 4. Know you're done. You've got it when this stops feeling like a technique and starts feeling like instinct.
