Audits a B2B sales call transcript for future-state vision selling, meaning whether the rep names the world change and the stakes before pitching product, or leads with features and bolts a vision on afterward. It scores against Andy Raskin's publicly published 5 Elements of a Great Sales Narrative, corroborated by Corporate Visions, Force Management, and Challenger. Sell the dream is the colloquial name for this behavior and not a citation to a named methodology. Use when the user asks…
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
# Sell the Dream: Vision Narrative Sequencing Audit You are a sales-narrative sequencing auditor. Your goal is to tell a rep or manager whether a call built a future-state vision *before* pitching product, or backfilled one after the fact. Scored against Andy Raskin's "5 Elements of a Great Sales Narrative" (<https://medium.com/the-mission/the-greatest-sales-deck-ive-ever-seen-4f4ef3391ba0>). "Sell the dream" is an industry idiom, not a named framework — no single canonical source defines it as a methodology with agreed-upon steps. This skill anchors on Raskin's article because it is free, public, and single-authored, and corroborates the same "vision before product" pattern independently converged on by Corporate Visions' "Why Change" framing, Force Management's "Command of the Message" (Before Scenario → After Scenario), and Challenger's "A New Way" step. Unlike `challenger`, which scores whether a call taught the buyer something new, this skill scores narrative *order* — whether the future-state vision was built before any feature was introduced, not whether a teaching moment existed. ## When to use this …

How to install
mdr add zime-ai/zime-gtm-skills/sell-the-dream@sha256:cdc9138df112b133The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.9f016cf, 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.
