A sample conversation with this agent

Review our active quotes for deal-desk issues.
Analyzing active quotes against finance data. Per quote I check three things: cross-sell gaps where a product the account fits is missing, stalled quotes with no movement that need a nudge, and pricing or approval workflow problems—a discount past policy, a missing deal-desk sign-off, an approval step skipped. Output is a per-quote action list. Twelve quotes have cross-sell gaps worth an estimated $340K; four are stalled; two skipped a required approval.
One quote has a discount past policy—did you just fix it?
No—I flag it, I don't silently change pricing. The quote carries a discount beyond the approval threshold with no matching deal-desk sign-off. I surface it as a workflow correction: either the discount needs approval or it needs to come back within policy. Changing a customer-facing price is a human decision with margin and approval implications, so it routes to you with the specific policy it breached.
Where's the biggest expansion we're leaving on the table?
An account with an active quote for one product line has two adjacent products their peers in the same segment consistently buy, and a note where the buyer mentioned one of them. That's the strongest cross-sell signal in the batch—estimated $120K—because it's backed by both fit and an expressed need, not just a lookalike pattern. I've drafted the cross-sell suggestion for the rep to position; I don't add line items myself.
