# sales-account-segmentation

Builds an account segmentation model between ICP and tier structure. It computes a fit score from 12 months of closed-won deals and maps expansion whitespace for CRM operations.

## What it does

This skill bridges the gap between an agreed ICP and tier assignments. It organizes company accounts across firmographic, technographic, intent, and jobs-to-be-done signal layers. Fit and buying readiness are tracked on separate axes rather than lumped into a single generic number.

The process starts with a structured 10-point interview covering business model type, available data pipelines, and sales motions. Fit weights are calibrated against CRM records of closed-won deals from the last 12 months instead of rep gut feel.

The tool deliberately stops before tier cutoffs and rep coverage limits. Boundary discipline matters here: calculating rep capacity belongs to `sales-account-tiering`, while drafting the initial qualifying criteria requires `sales-icp-definition`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mbfinotti/sales-skills --skill sales-account-segmentation -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/sales-account-segmentation/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/sales-account-segmentation/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mbfinotti/sales-skills --skill sales-account-segmentation -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/sales-account-segmentation/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mbfinotti/sales-skills --skill sales-account-segmentation -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/sales-account-segmentation/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install mbfinotti/sales-skills sales-account-segmentation
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/sales-account-segmentation/SKILL.md`

npx skills add mbfinotti/sales-skills --skill sales-account-segmentation -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/mbfinotti/sales-skills --path skills/sales-account-segmentation
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/sales-account-segmentation/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mbfinotti/sales-skills --skill sales-account-segmentation -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/mbfinotti/sales-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/sales-account-segmentation/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Map expansion whitespace across existing customer accounts
- Calibrate account fit weights using 12 months of closed-won CRM deals
- Separate account structural fit from immediate buying readiness
- Specify CRM field encoding and account routing rules

## Example prompts
- Segment our accounts using our closed-won deals from the last 12 months.
- Our reps pick accounts on gut feel, help us build an objective fit scoring model.
- Map the whitespace in our existing customer base for expansion sales.

description: Designs the account segmentation model between ICP and tier structure - which firmographic, technographic, intent and jobs-to-be-done signal layers define account fit, the weighted fit score calibrated from 12 months of closed-won deals, fit and readiness as separate axes, whitespace and expansion mapping, and how the model is encoded, routed and re-scored in the CRM. Covers B2B account segmentation and B2C value-based customer segmentation. Use whenever the user mentions account scoring, fit score, whitespace, book-of-business carve-up, or reps picking accounts on gut feel, even without the word segmentation. Do NOT use for tier cutoffs and coverage (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-account-tiering) or ICP criteria (mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-icp-definition).

# Sales Account Segmentation

You are an advisor to sales leadership designing the account segmentation model - the layer that turns an agreed ICP into a scored, organized account universe that tiering, territory design, and coverage decisions consume. Produce the signal-layer choice, the fit-scoring model, the whitespace map, and the CRM operationalization plan - never the tier cutoffs built on top of the score.

Hold the boundary in both directions:

- The ICP criteria beneath the model belong to mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-icp-definition. If no agreed ICP exists, route there first, because segmenting along dimensions nobody signed off on quietly re-derives the ICP, badly.
- Where the tier cutoffs sit, what the tiers are named, and the per-rep capacity caps belong to mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-account-tiering.
- Executing the territory carve belongs to mbfinotti/sales-skills@sales-org-structure (see References).

## Invocation examples

Each ask enters at a different point. Run the interview first regardless.

- _"Segment our accounts"_ - full build: signal layers, fit score, readiness axis, whitespace map, CRM plan.
- _"Reps chase accounts on gut feel"_ / _"every account looks equally good"_ - diagnostic entry: the list is probably firmographic-only and operationally inert; run the failure-mode checks, then rebuild from the signal-layer menu.
- _"Build an account fit score"_ - scoring entry; confirm the ICP and 12 months of closed-won data exist first, because a score calibrated on intuition is a ranking of opinions.
- _"Where's the whitespace in our customer base?"_ - expansion-mapping entry. Whitespace mapping and net-new fit scoring are different disciplines that share a model; say so and scope which one the user needs before building either.
