Your CV lists duties, not results.

Here are my meeting notes: [PASTE]. Return four sections only — Decisions taken, Owners and deadlines, Open questions, Nothing-happened items. No summary paragraph. No preamble. Use names exactly as they appear in my notes.
You know the slides. You do not know your opening line for each.

My offer is [OFFER] at [PRICE]. The objection I get is [OBJECTION]. Give me three responses — one that reframes value, one that changes scope, one that walks away with the door open. Tell me which to use with a buyer who is [PRICE-DRIVEN / RISK-AVERSE / BUYING FOR THE FIRST TIME].
You have been added to a thread halfway through and are expected to have a view.
Here is an email thread: [PASTE]. Tell me: what is actually being decided, who wants what, where people are talking past each other, and what a reply from me would need to settle. Do not summarise message by message.
You know the answer you want, not the syntax.

Something red appeared and you have no idea what it wants.
I got this error: [PASTE]. I was trying to [WHAT YOU WERE DOING] in [TOOL]. Tell me in plain language what it means, the most likely cause given what I was doing, and the fix. If you need to know something about my setup to be sure, ask me before guessing.
