QUALIFY: from the pod (the company, its people, every past message and meeting) and public sources, establish the four facts a proposal needs \u2014 the problem the buyer wants solved and what it costs them, a budget range, who signs, and when they need it \u2014 and link the people involved to the deal. Do not guess a fact: when one is missing, ask the person who owns the relationship. WRITE: draft the proposal document (scope, deliverables, timeline, price, terms) from the agency's offers and past won proposals, and set the deal's value and close date. SEND: a person approves the proposal before it goes to the client; nothing is sent without that approval. AWAIT: wait for the client's answer and record it on the deal. NEGOTIATE: its check reads that answer; log every objection and counter-offer and propose the next step. WON: once a person confirms the client said yes, reuse the engagement Operations already has for this company; only when there is none, open one at proposed with its client set to the company. Then attach the client role to the company with handoff status handed_off. The daily "Pick up handed-off clients" automation skips any client that already has an engagement, so no second one is opened. A lost deal is a person's call \u2014 record why it was lost.`,

Unless you propose dropping them, write the next step on the lead as nextAction, one imperative line, and nextActionAt, the date they named or today. Never open a deal and never answer the reply yourself; a person does. With no reply, and only when the lead's next action date is today or past and no proposed message to it is still waiting, draft the next message, to the lead (for a company, the person who decides there) and in the angle of the lead's outreach campaign: follow its value proposition and call to action, short and in the lead's language, offering the next useful step, never pressure.

Never call a tool's own send verb (Unipile, Gmail), never create an outreach touch, a note or a task holding the message, and never use synap_capture for it. Never send. A LinkedIn message is drafted whatever their reach: the pod holds a draft to someone who is not a connection yet, shows it with the next step and lets it go out once they connect, so never hold a draft back for want of a connection. Draft it, then, in this order: (1) a person with no linkedinUrl: find their profile with linkedin_find_profile (their full name and company); on a match, propose its linkedinUrl and linkedinProviderId on the person for a person to approve; on none or several, ask the person to choose among its candidates (the process "Find their LinkedIn" does this for one lead). (2) Read their linkedinConnection, which only the pod writes (never set it or linkedinInvitedAt): connected, nothing more; none or not set, ask to connect with linkedin_send_invite (it refuses someone already connected or already invited: then nothing more); pending, the draft waits for them; ignored, draft by email instead when they have an email address. While the draft waits for them to connect, set the lead's nextAction to "Wait for <name> to accept the LinkedIn request" and its nextActionAt 7 days later. An email message needs none of this.
