Get a prioritized sales briefing in 2 minutes—works standalone or supercharged with your calendar, CRM, and email.

What is daily-briefing?

Daily Sales Briefing generates a structured morning briefing that organizes your meetings, pipeline alerts, and action items. Use it to start your day with clarity on what matters most. It works with just your input, but connects to calendar, CRM, and email for automatic enrichment.

  • Pulls today's meetings with attendees, times, and context from calendar
  • Surfaces pipeline alerts: deals closing soon, stale deals, overdue tasks
  • Flags unread emails from key contacts and messages waiting on replies
  • Identifies your #1 priority action for the day
  • Generates scannable 2-minute briefing or quick TLDR mode
  • Provides suggested next actions ranked by urgency

daily-briefing FAQ

Do I need to connect my calendar and CRM?

No. The skill works standalone—just tell me your meetings and deals. Connectors are optional but save time by auto-pulling data.

What if I have no connectors set up?

The skill will ask you to list your meetings and key deals. You can provide as much or as little detail as you want, and it will still create a prioritized briefing.

How is the #1 priority chosen?

The skill ranks by urgency: deals closing today/tomorrow, high-value meetings today, unread emails from decision-makers, deals closing this week, and stale deals (7+ days no activity).

Can I get just a quick version?

Yes. Say 'quick brief' or 'tldr my day' for an abbreviated version with just the priority, meeting count, alerts, and one action.

How does this work with the call-prep skill?

The briefing surfaces which meetings need prep. Run 'call-prep [company]' for deeper meeting preparation, or 'call-follow-up' after calls to log outcomes.

If no calendar connected:

"What meetings do you have today? (Just paste your calendar or list them)"

If no CRM connected:

"What deals are you focused on this week? Any that need attention?"

If you have connectors: I'll pull everything automatically and just show you the briefing.

Execution Flow

Step 1: Gather Context

If connectors available:

1. Calendar → Get today's events
   - Filter to external meetings (non-company attendees)
   - Pull: time, title, attendees, description

2. CRM → Query your pipeline
   - Open opportunities owned by you
   - Flag: closing this week, no activity 7+ days, slipped dates
   - Get: overdue tasks, upcoming tasks

3. Email → Check priority messages
   - Unread from opportunity contact domains
   - Sent messages with no reply (3+ days)

4. Enrichment → Check signals (if available)
   - Funding, hiring, news on open accounts

If no connectors:

Ask user:
1. "What meetings do you have today?"
2. "What deals are you focused on? Any closing soon or needing attention?"
3. "Anything urgent I should know about?"

Work with whatever they provide.

Step 2: Prioritize

Priority ranking:
1. URGENT: Deal closing today/tomorrow not yet won
2. HIGH: Meeting today with high-value opportunity
3. HIGH: Unread email from decision-maker
4. MEDIUM: Deal closing this week
5. MEDIUM: Stale deal (7+ days no activity)
6. LOW: Tasks due this week

Select #1 Priority:
- If meeting with >$50K deal today → prep that
- If deal closing today → focus on close
- If urgent email from buyer → respond first
- Else → highest-value stale deal

Step 3: Generate Briefing

Assemble sections based on available data:

1. #1 Priority — Always include (even if simple)
2. Today's Numbers — If CRM connected, otherwise skip
3. Today's Meetings — From calendar or user input
4. Pipeline Alerts — If CRM connected
5. Email Priorities — If email connected
6. Suggested Actions — Always include top 3 actions

Quick Mode

Say "quick brief" or "tldr my day" for abbreviated version:

# Quick Brief | [Date]

**#1:** [Priority action]

**Meetings:** [N] — [Company 1], [Company 2], [Company 3]

**Alerts:**
- [Alert 1]
- [Alert 2]

**Do Now:** [Single most important action]

End of Day Mode

Say "wrap up my day" or "end of day summary" after your last meeting:

# End of Day | [Date]

**Completed:**
- [Meeting 1] — [Outcome]
- [Meeting 2] — [Outcome]

**Pipeline Changes:**
- [Deal] moved to [Stage]

**Tomorrow's Focus:**
- [Priority 1]
- [Priority 2]

**Open Loops:**
- [ ] [Unfinished item needing follow-up]

Tips

  1. Connect your calendar first — Biggest time saver
  2. Add CRM second — Unlocks pipeline alerts
  3. Even without connectors — Just tell me your meetings and I'll help prioritize
