The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task

Set email alerts for these events: when a high-touch lead (annual contract > $50k) is created, email the assigned AE and the renewal manager; when an opportunity moves to Closed Won, email finance and the account owner with deal summary; and when a contract is due in 30 days, email the customer success manager and the AE. Use clear subject lines and include record links.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Sales keeps ignoring calendar alerts but asks for emails instead

Sales said calendar reminders were missed so I added email alerts for contract renewals, but now they claim the emails are too frequent and vague.

Alerts either spam teams or go unread

We oscillate between no alerts and a flood of them. That pattern leads to missed renewals, angry AEs, and jammed inboxes. What operational habit and template should we adopt so alerts are consistent: who decides alert content, a standard email template with required fields, and a throttling policy to prevent fatigue?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
