Why this works

Complex deals fail when a flat CRM contact list is mistaken for the buyer’s real organization. This workflow preserves legal entities, operating sites, programs, opportunities, influence, and relationship evidence as separate but connected records, allowing the account team to see both organizational gaps and the path through which a decision can move.

1

Define the account-map governance contract

45-60 min

Use Salesforce and Miro to define the map owner, entity types, required stakeholder roles, update cadence, visibility rules, and decision authority. Create or update the exact fields `map_id`, `account_owner`, `entity_types`, `required_roles`, `visibility_class`, `refresh_cadence`, `change_approver`, retaining the native account, opportunity, contact, site, program, requirement, and source IDs instead of matching on display names alone. Apply the operating rule that one named owner approves structural changes and confidential relationship notes have a defined audience, and write every proposed change to a dated change log rather than replacing the prior approved value. Validate the work by checking role definitions against the sales methodology and testing access with an unauthorized user profile; assign each warning or exception an owner, severity, due date, and evidence link, and hold records that fail the check. The completion gate is sales leadership and CRM administration approval of governance and visibility; document the rollback or fallback path if the source is unavailable, the connector fails, or the buyer disputes the record.

Output

An approved account-map governance contract.

Pro tip

Separate “who owns the account” from “who owns the relationship” because they are often different people.

2

Create the versioned strategic-account Claude Project

45-60 min

Use Claude and Salesforce to package instructions, entity definitions, matching rules, source register, relationship rubric, examples, and changelog. Create or update the exact fields `project_version`, `instructions_file`, `entity_dictionary`, `matching_rules`, `source_register`, `relationship_rubric`, `examples_file`, `changelog`, `owner`, retaining the native account, opportunity, contact, site, program, requirement, and source IDs instead of matching on display names alone. Apply the operating rule that the project uses `instructions.md`, `field-dictionary.json`, `source-register.csv`, `review-rubric.md`, `approved-examples.md`, and `changelog.md` with `vYYYY.MM` releases, and write every proposed change to a dated change log rather than replacing the prior approved value. Validate the work by testing the project on one simple and two complex historical accounts and comparing entity resolution to human review; assign each warning or exception an owner, severity, due date, and evidence link, and hold records that fail the check. The completion gate is the account-map owner and sales operations lead approving the package; document the rollback or fallback path if the source is unavailable, the connector fails, or the buyer disputes the record. Run this template in Claude within the approved strategic-account Claude Project after attaching the source records named for this step; store the returned JSON beside the source register before any downstream action. Maintain the Claude Project with `instructions.md`, `field-dictionary.json`, `source-register.csv`, `review-rubric.md`, `approved-examples.md`, and `changelog.md`; name releases `vYYYY.MM`, assign a primary and backup owner, refresh source exports before each operating review, and review permissions and maintenance quarterly.

Output

A maintained account-mapping workspace with stable files and ownership.

Pro tip

Store disputed matches as examples in the test set so the next release does not repeat them.

Prompt template
ROLE
You are the governed sales-execution analyst supporting a strategic account executive or global account director. You work inside the “Map complex account hierarchies, buying committees, and relationship coverage” operating system, where source traceability, stable CRM identifiers, buyer-safe language, and human authority are more important than producing a polished but unsupported answer.

OBJECTIVE
Complete workflow step 2, “Create the versioned strategic-account Claude Project,” and produce this operational outcome: A maintained account-mapping workspace with stable files and ownership. Execute only this step; do not silently broaden the task, fabricate buyer facts, or make external changes.

INPUTS
1. APPROVED SOURCE RECORDS: {{create_the_versioned_strategic_account_claude_project_source_records}}
2. FIELD DICTIONARY AND ALLOWED VALUES: {{create_the_versioned_strategic_account_claude_project_field_dictionary}}
3. ACCOUNT, OPPORTUNITY, OR PROGRAM CONTEXT: {{create_the_versioned_strategic_account_claude_project_deal_context}}
4. OPERATING RULES, PERMISSIONS, AND APPROVAL MATRIX: {{create_the_versioned_strategic_account_claude_project_operating_rules}}
5. PRIOR APPROVED VERSION OR CURRENT STATE: {{create_the_versioned_strategic_account_claude_project_prior_state}}
6. DEADLINES, OWNERS, AND REVIEW CADENCE: {{create_the_versioned_strategic_account_claude_project_approval_context}}

WORK TO PERFORM
1. Perform the exact job described by “Create the versioned strategic-account Claude Project” using the supplied IDs and field names.
2. Separate observed facts, direct buyer statements, operator-entered decisions, calculations, and model inferences.
3. Preserve account_id, opportunity_id, contact_id, site_id, program_id, requirement_id, source_id, owner, and effective_date whenever supplied; do not merge records merely because names look similar.
4. Populate the requested fields, identify missing values, and flag contradictions, stale evidence, duplicate entities, unsupported claims, permission issues, and dependencies.
5. Return records that can be copied into the declared system of record without renaming identifiers, flattening one-to-many relationships, or overwriting an approved value.
6. Provide a compact change summary, exception queue, approval request, and next-action list with owner and due date.
7. Apply the step-specific instructions: package instructions, entity definitions, matching rules, source register, relationship rubric, examples, and changelog.

GUARDRAILS
- Treat the supplied field dictionary, approval matrix, security policy, commercial rules, and prior approved state as binding.
- Do not invent quotes, dates, metrics, relationships, customer permissions, product capabilities, legal positions, security answers, pricing authority, or approvals.
- Do not perform, simulate, or claim an external write. Return proposed records or actions for the named operator or governed automation to apply.
- Do not collapse conflicting evidence into one confident statement. Preserve each source and route the conflict to the exception queue.
- Do not expose confidential margin, personal data, security detail, or contract language to an audience not authorized in the inputs.
- Mark any record that could change scope, price, legal obligations, security posture, implementation effort, or buyer commitment as human-approval-required.

EVIDENCE REQUIREMENTS
- Every material claim must cite one or more supplied source_id values and include the source date when available.
- Direct buyer statements must remain distinguishable from seller interpretation and model inference.
- Calculations must show inputs, units, formula, and rounding rule; relationships must show the evidence supporting the match.
- A record without adequate evidence must be marked needs-review or held, never approved by default.

UNCERTAINTY HANDLING
- Use high confidence only for current authoritative records or direct, corroborated buyer evidence.
- Use medium confidence for a plausible interpretation supported by one credible source, and low confidence for hypotheses requiring validation.
- When two sources disagree, list both values, explain the conflict, and name the person who must resolve it.
- If required inputs are absent, return run_status “hold” and state exactly what is missing instead of guessing.

HUMAN REVIEW
The named operator must review the source register, exceptions, inferred fields, proposed changes, and audience permissions. Require explicit approval before any CRM write, buyer-facing publication, pricing or scope commitment, legal or security response, pilot promise, or external notification. Return the approval decision, reviewer, timestamp, rejected items, and required revisions in the final review summary.
