Individual skill
sales-hire-offer-close
Use this skill when a hiring manager is about to make an offer to a sales, marketing, customer success or other GTM hire and wants it accepted, resigned on and started without a fall-off. Pulls the candidate's stated motive and numbers, runs a close-ready gate, sizes the gap on total package, prices up to three offer structures on cost, signal and risk, writes word-for-word trial closes, rates counter-offer risk with a defence plan and resignation rehearsal, and schedules a dated notice-period plan from resignation day to start day. Ends with one Yes/No decision for a human. Handles one offer or several in flight. Triggers on "we're ready to offer", "what should we offer", "will this number land", "structure the offer", "they want more money", "counter-offer", "they're resigning today", "worried they'll get bought back", "notice period", "they accepted, now what", "offer stage".

# Sales hire offer close
Runs from the moment a hiring manager decides to offer until the new hire's first day. Produces a close plan and a Yes/No decision on the number, never an offer sent by the agent.
**The prime rule: never make an offer you have not trial-closed.** A formal offer is the last step of a close, not the first. If the candidate's answer to "if this lands, are you accepting?" is not yet known, the offer is not ready, however strong the final round felt.
Offers die two ways. An information gap: a number goes out before anyone confirmed what the candidate would accept. An unmanaged risk: the candidate accepts, resigns, gets bought back, and nobody rehearsed that conversation. The play closes both.
