Fill the pipeline

Vera builds this week's list from the customers you already have, drafts the first message in your tone, and holds all of it until you approve. After that she follows up, and tells you which deals need you today.

From the customers you have to the target you set.

Vera starts where the next deal is closest: the accounts you already won. Then she finds the new ones, and tells you exactly what it takes to hit the number.

01

The next deal is often in an account you already have.

Vera goes through an account the way a good account manager would: what they buy today, what companies like them buy as well, and who to talk to. You get the cross-sell and upsell she would chase, with the reason for each.

Vera’s best expansion opportunities in the Firestarter app: four existing customer accounts, each with what to pursue, why, and who to approach, based on the HubSpot data. Company and contact names are blurred.

02

New prospects, found and enriched, without another tool.

Vera finds the companies and people that fit, scores them and enriches them with verified work emails. Lead generation is built into Firestarter, so there is no data provider to connect and no extra subscription to pay for.

Vera in the Firestarter app: she works with Lead Engine, HubSpot, Gmail and LinkedIn, and offers to find and enrich prospects, build a scored list, research a company or find lookalikes.

03

The plan comes first. Then the work.

Vera works back from your target and shows what she will do next: who she will look for, how she will score them and what the enrichment will cost. You approve the plan or adjust the target, and she gets to work.

Vera’s plan in the Firestarter app: build and enrich a 50 person prospect list in five steps, with the buttons Approve and build the list and Adjust the target.

What Vera does without being asked.

You do not brief Vera every week. Vera reads the same numbers you do, and when they move the wrong way the proposal is already written when you open the app.

Noticed

Pipeline is behind plan for the quarter, and the three largest deals have not moved in eleven days.

Proposes

A re-engagement campaign to the 140 customers who went quiet, written in your tone, sent over four days.

You approve

She sends it in batches, logs every reply in the CRM, and flags the conversations that need you.

It waits there until you approve it.

And what Vera never does on her own. Nothing leaves your domain before you have read a sample and approved the batch.

Where Vera starts and stops.

  • Builds the prospect list from the customers you already won
  • Writes the first message in the tone of the mail you already send
  • Follows up until they answer, and logs every reply in your CRM
  • Tells you which two conversations need you today
