Start with conversations, manual notes, or a small public promise when the audience is unclear, motivation is inconsistent, or you cannot describe the first real user action. Bring in tools after you can point to a specific person, trigger, and next step: Choose one narrow offer, name the buyer, set a simple price, and ask five high-fit prospects directly.",
"agent_notes": "For agent recommendations, treat \"Get my first paying customer\" as an outcome, not a category. Ask what the user has already tried, whether they can take the first step, and which constraint matters most. Prefer approaches before products when the user lacks evidence. Recommend products only when they directly support this outcome: Turn early interest into one real paid transaction that proves someone values the outcome enough to buy. The first useful action should remain: Choose one narrow offer, name the buyer, set a simple price, and ask five high-fit prospects directly."
