Sales Training Repo Deep Dive

The decisive finding: no repo contains a role-play engine, a fear ladder, an audible loop, a certification gate, or a longitudinal scorecard. The ecosystem is 100% knowledge and execution, 0% practice. Your program's core is genuinely novel; the repos supply the curriculum content underneath it.

What that means in practice: install the louisblythe Core 20 as reference knowledge, mine zubair's massive objections file into the /objection-gym corpus, adopt the weighted scoring rubric for /call-review and /scorecard, copy northrn's engineering discipline as house style, and build /roleplay first, from scratch, because it's your stated top want and the one thing nobody provides.

Repos examined: louisblythe/Sales-Skills, coreyhaines31/marketingskills, zubair-trabzada/ai-sales-team-claude, sales-skills/sales, northrn/claude-sales-skills.

Fork of coreyhaines31's format by Apparate. 122 SKILL.md files, roughly 7-18K characters each, consistently structured: frontmatter description → Initial Assessment → Core Principles → named framework → stage-specific guidance → Common Mistakes → Practice Exercises → "Questions to Ask" → Related Skills.

Quality is high and human-teaching oriented for the Core 20. A large middle tier (about 60 skills) is written for building sales bots (conversation-quality-scoring, dynamic-script-generation, emotional-arc-management, human-in-the-loop-training) with pseudo-Python scoring functions. The rest is ops and automation filler (timezone-awareness, voicemail-drop-optimization).

Skills worth stealing (read in full)

Same family as the offers and positioning-basics skills you already run. One deep read: sales-enablement (14.5K chars) covers the 10-12 slide pitch deck framework, one-pagers, objection handling docs in two formats (quick-reference matrix plus deep-dive per objection with an Acknowledge → Reframe → Evidence → Question structure), ROI calculators, demo scripts and talk tracks, buyer persona cards, and sales playbooks.

Core principle worth keeping: "Sales uses what sales trusts: situation-specific, not generic."

Command-style skills (a /sales prospect <url> orchestrator routes to sub-skills). Big, prescriptive, output-template-driven. Deep-read highlights:

• sales-objections (40.7K chars, the largest single objection resource found): Feel-Felt-Found and Acknowledge-Bridge-Close frameworks, 15 universal objections each with word-for-word responses, industry-specific objection generation rules, competitive objections, a 5-tactic pricing deep dive (ROI reframe, cost of inaction, TCO, tier-down, payment terms), objection prevention, and a quick-reference matrix output. This is the seed corpus for /objection-gym.
• sales-qualify (22.9K): BANT scored 0-25 per letter plus a MEDDIC completeness score, rolled into a 0-100 opportunity grade with lead-grade assignment. The scoring-with-evidence pattern is exactly the shape /certify and /scorecard need.
• sales-prep (16.3K): meeting brief with a cheat-sheet card, 10 discovery questions, 5 objections to expect, competitive landmines. Pattern for pre-roleplay briefing docs tied to her real prospects (do-it-first demos, the Boulder GBP list).
• sales-followup (20.1K): 5 scenarios (post-meeting, post-demo, post-proposal, ghost recovery, nurture) with full email copy, voicemail scripts, and a cadence matrix.

2,349 files, almost entirely per-platform tool integrations (sales-6sense, sales-activecampaign, sales-adroll, sales-ahrefs, ...), each with SKILL.md plus api-reference plus platform-guide. Zero training content. Nothing to adapt.

Not SKILL.md format (plain .md plus a README per skill) but disciplined: explicit Tool Restriction and Token Isolation sections, step-numbered workflows, dynamic tuning, model-routing notes. Skills: account-research, competitor-intel, discovery-questions, email-writer, lead-generation, meeting-prep, proposal-writer.

• discovery-questions: generates role- and industry-tailored SPIN question sets with follow-up prompts, red flags, and a timed 30-minute call structure (opening 3 / situation 5 / problem 10 / implication 5 / qualification 5 / next steps 2). That timed structure is a ready /roleplay session skeleton.
• meeting-prep: a compact version of zubair's prep brief; includes "likely objections" and rapport builders.
• competitor-intel: battlecard format with landmine questions, useful when role-playing "why not [competitor]" moments.
