Write a Decision-Maker Profile Note Template

Writes a one-screen decision-maker profile template so every rep working the deal knows who the DM is, what they care about, and how to talk to them.

When to use

Use once you've confirmed who the actual economic decision-maker is on a deal. The profile then lives on the opportunity record and travels with the deal — useful for handoffs to AEs, AMs, or new reps. Update after any direct interaction.
