Free plugin for Claude

Your presales co-pilot in Claude

AI PreSales Skills turns Claude into a presales colleague who knows the whole deal cycle. You tell it what you sell. It applies the handbook's method to your deal.

What it does for you

Six jobs it takes off your desk. You review the draft and make the calls.

  • A one-page call plan

    Research, persona hypotheses and a question plan for your next discovery call.

  • A MEDDPICC score with gaps

    It scores the deal out of 40 and lists the gaps and next actions.

  • A demo storyboard

    A Tell-Show-Tell storyboard built from the pains you found in discovery.

  • An ROI case

    A value case with three or more value drivers and an explicit risk factor.

  • A first RFP response

    It maps every requirement to a capability, drafts the answers and tracks what is covered.

  • A handover pack

    The handover package for the delivery team, plus an agenda for the handover call.

How it works

How the AI PreSales Skills plugin works. You ask Claude in plain words or type a slash command. The plugin adds commands, skills and the handbook method. Connectors to your CRM, wiki or mail are optional. You get drafts like a call plan, a MEDDPICC score, a demo storyboard or an ROI case. You check them before they go out.
You ask, the plugin applies the handbook method, and you check the draft before it goes to a customer.
  • Commands are step-by-step workflows. You start one by typing a slash, for example /presales:discovery:prep.
  • Skills switch on by themselves when you describe what you need in plain words.
  • Connecting your CRM, wiki or mail is optional. Without it, Claude asks you, and the output quality is the same.

Your first 10 minutes

  1. Tell Claude what you sell

    The skills work for any product. The first time they need it, they ask about your product, strengths and competitors.

  2. Try the guide

    Run /presales:guide and describe your situation, for example a discovery call with a CFO on Thursday. It points you to the right tool.

  3. Run one real workflow

    Start with /presales:discovery:prep for your next call. Claude asks for what it needs and writes a one-page call plan.

  4. Just talk

    Say "structure these notes" and paste your call notes. The right skill switches on by itself.

Before anything goes to a customer, say "tag this". Claude marks every claim as confirmed, inferred or unknown.

Before you use customer data

  • Check your company's AI policy first. It decides which data you may share with an AI tool.
  • Connectors act with your permissions. Connect only what the job needs.
  • Before anything leaves the team, say "tag this" and check each claim.

Questions

Do I need to code?

No. You install it with a few clicks or two pasted lines. After that you talk to Claude in plain words.

Which Claude plan do I need?

A paid plan: Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise. An Anthropic Console account works too.

Does it work with my product?

Yes. It is vendor-neutral and works for any B2B or SaaS product. You tell it what you sell, and it applies the method to your deal.

Is it free?

Yes. The skills, commands and scripts are MIT-licensed, so you can use and adapt them. The handbook reference inside stays under the author's copyright. You still need a paid Claude plan to run them.

What if it does not work?

If the /presales commands do not appear, restart Claude Code and check that presales is listed under Installed in the /plugin menu. If the marketplace is not found, check the spelling. A company network may block GitHub, so ask IT or try another network.
