The obsession with "closing" deals is misplaced. The true skill of a top AE isn't about pressure tactics, but about architecting long-term partnerships where the customer *wants* to buy, repeatedly. We're incentivizing a transactional mindset in a relationship-driven world. Change my mind.

Honestly, I get where you're coming from, and building those deep relationships is *chef's kiss*. But the real answer is, sometimes you *do* need to close the deal, and incentivizing that urgency is how you keep the lights on and the product evolving in the first place.
