  • Needs to show ROI on rep time saved within 60 days
  • Worried about rep adoption — "my team hates new tools"

Messaging Tips

  • Lead with pipeline velocity metrics and quota attainment lift
  • Show rep time-savings in hours per week — not percentages
  • Provide a reference call with a VP of Sales at a similar-stage company
  • "Implementation in 2 weeks, zero disruption" is worth more than any feature list
  • Frame it as giving reps superpowers, not adding another tool to manage
