Configuring your agents is easy

FAQ

How does the agent identify who the economic buyer is?

The Research Agent analyzes company structure, org charts, LinkedIn data, and reporting lines to find the person most likely controlling budget decisions. For SMBs, this might be the owner/CEO. For enterprise, it's usually a C-level or VP. The recipe learns your typical buying patterns over time and gets smarter.

Should I only target the economic buyer or multiple stakeholders?

Target both. The economic buyer approves budget, but the end user and their manager influence the decision. The recipe identifies all key stakeholders, prioritizes the economic buyer first, then suggests a sequence for engaging the broader committee.

How do I personalize for different roles?

The recipe auto-generates role-specific messaging. CFOs hear about ROI and cost savings. VPs of Sales hear about productivity and quota attainment. IT teams hear about integration and security. Same product, different angle depending on who's reading.

What if the person I want to reach is hard to find or contact?

The recipe suggests alternative entry points: a peer at the company you already know, an executive champion who can make an introduction, or a different stakeholder who can route your message upward. It's about finding the path of least resistance.

How do I know if I have the right champion in the account?

The right champion is someone with: (1) clear need for your product, (2) budget control or influence, (3) organizational trust and credibility, (4) time/willingness to be a champion. The recipe scores potential champions against these criteria.

Does targeting the right buyer actually improve close rates?

Significantly. Deals with an identified economic buyer have 60-70% higher close rates than deals that are still searching for the right stakeholder. The recipe cuts the "stakeholder hunting" phase in half by identifying the right buyer upfront.
