## Prompt

```text
Help me build the case for promotion from SDR/BDR to account executive.

**Time in role:** [MONTHS]
**Results vs. targets:** [meetings booked, qualified opportunities, pipeline generated, conversion to closed-won - by month or quarter]
**Ranking or comparison to team, if known:** [DETAILS]
**AE-level skills I've shown:** [e.g. ran discovery, sat in on demos, helped close deals, handled inbound qualification]
**Feedback I've received:** [FROM MANAGER, AEs, BUYERS]
**Our company's promotion criteria:** [PASTE or "unknown"]
**Areas I still need to build:** [e.g. negotiation, forecasting, demos]

Create:
1. A one-page promotion case: results with numbers, evidence of AE readiness, team contributions, and what I'll bring to the AE role.
2. A gap plan: how I'll close my development gaps in the next 60-90 days (shadowing, running demos, certifications).
3. A ramp plan for my first 90 days as an AE.
4. Talking points for the conversation with my manager, including how to respond if the answer is "not yet" (ask for specific criteria and a timeline).

Keep it factual and confident, not entitled. Use only numbers I provide; mark missing ones as [ADD NUMBER]. If our criteria are unknown, list the questions I should ask my manager to find them out.
