How to Use Industry Materials
1. Prospecting
Use the one-pagers as LinkedIn connection messages or email attachments:
"I saw you're leading recruiting at [COMPANY]. We help recruiting teams reduce turnover by 40% and speed up time-to-fill by 30%. Attached is a one-pager on how we work with recruiting orgs. Worth 15 minutes to discuss?"
2. Discovery Calls
Reference industry pain points from the one-pagers:
"Most IT directors we work with are struggling with agent burnout and slow ticket resolution. Is that true for you?"
3. Demos
Use the industry demo scripts instead of the generic master demo:
- OCM demo for change management buyers
- Recruiting demo for talent acquisition leaders
- IT demo for service desk managers
- Agile demo for engineering leaders
- Sales demo for sales leadership
4. Proposals
Include industry-specific ROI from the one-pagers:
"Based on our work with similar IT service desks, you can expect 35% faster resolution and 50% lower turnover, translating to $350K annual value."
