AUTO-TRIGGER: Apply this skill when the user is navigating a difficult or adversarial relationship with a sales leader, VP of Sales, or CRO. Trigger phrases include: "sales doesn't trust marketing," "VP of Sales thinks our leads are bad," "sales leader is skeptical," "how do I get sales on my side," "sales is blaming marketing," "I can't get a seat at the pipeline review," "CRO doesn't value marketing," "sales thinks we're a cost center," or any situation where the marketing or RevOps leader…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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 install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add modest-curator478/claude-skills/sales-leader-alignment@sha256:1884a83e980dce46

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
