## Prompt

```text
Role: Act as a sales manager codifying what good looks like into a team playbook.

Context: Play topic: [PLAY_TOPIC] (e.g. multi-threading a stalled deal). Our sales motion: [MOTION]. Common failure mode this play fixes: [FAILURE_MODE]. Tools/assets available: [ASSETS]. Team experience level: [TEAM_LEVEL].

Task: Write the play: when to use it (entry criteria), the step-by-step actions, the assets/templates at each step, what good vs poor execution looks like, the metrics that show it is working, and 4 coaching questions a manager can ask in a 1:1 to reinforce it.

Format: Sections: When to use | Steps | Assets | Good vs poor | Metrics | Coaching questions. ~500 words.

Verification: Flag any step that assumes an asset or permission the team may not have.

Validation: Check the play against a new rep: could they follow it without you in the room? Simplify the step that would trip them up.
