Scenarios
Three business shapes we see most often. Costs are computed from €1.00 – €3.00 per deal touchpoint processed and a fully-loaded Sales Support Specialist benchmark.
Scenario 1 · SaaS · 100-250
500 deal touchpoints processed / month
Starting capabilities
Situation
A 150-person B2B SaaS company runs 500 deal touchpoints a month. AEs spend half their week writing proposals and updating CRM after calls. Deal velocity stalls on admin, not on buyer appetite.
Agent fit
Sales Support Specialist activates proposal drafting and call summaries. Every tracked call lands in the CRM as a structured summary; every proposal request gets a first-pass draft within hours; AEs shift back to selling.
Outcome
Expected outcomes at this volume: proposal cycle time down 30-50%, call-to-CRM conversion 95%+, AE selling hours recovered per week, CRM hygiene improved in parallel.
Scenario 2 · Services · 150-400
800 deal touchpoints processed / month
Starting capabilities
Situation
A 300-person services firm runs 800 deal touchpoints a month. SOWs require policy-aware pricing, AEs lack pre-meeting briefs, deal-desk requests stall on missing context.
Agent fit
Sales Support Specialist activates all four capabilities. Proposals, call summaries, briefs, and deal-desk intake all run with CRM-grade logging. Deal desk gets review-ready asks; AEs walk into meetings informed.
Outcome
Expected outcomes: 25-45% AE selling-time recovery, proposal cycle time cut, deal-desk intake compressed, brief-delivery on time 95%+.

Artifact traceability
every artifact linked to opportunity
How it works
Workflow summary
The agent picks up deal-support work from triggers — new call, proposal request, meeting-on-calendar, deal-desk ask — produces the artifact, and logs it to the opportunity.
Exceptions
Strategic-account or pricing-exception items route to deal-desk owner with annotated context.
When humans step in
Humans step in on non-standard pricing, strategic-account briefs, and legally-sensitive proposal language.
Connected systems
Agent operates inside CRM, doc repo, call intelligence, and signature platform. Drafts proposals, writes call summaries, assembles briefs, logs everything to the opportunity.
Data inputs
Discovery notes, CRM opportunity fields, call transcripts, proposal templates, pricing policy, historical briefs. Writes proposal drafts, CRM updates, brief documents, and deal-desk intake back to source systems.
Decision logic
Uses opportunity stage, call content, and template rules to decide draft-and-review vs draft-and-route vs flag-for-deal-desk.
Readiness
Proposal templates approved, pricing policy documented, call-intelligence feed wired, deal-desk owner named.
Integrations
No new systems to learn. The role connects to the platforms your team already uses.
