Template Body

Hi {{firstName}},

I saw you just stepped into the Sales Leader role at {{companyName}} — congratulations!

Most new Sales Leaders we work with in automotive face three immediate pressures:

1. **Forecast credibility** → CFOs expect ±5% accuracy but pipeline data lives in 3+ systems causing 28% variance
2. **Quote cycle speed** → Tier 1 customers expect 48-hour quotes but teams average 6.5 days
3. **Deal visibility** → 40% of PPAP-stage deals stall with zero visibility until OEM rejects

We helped Denso's new VP of Sales cut forecast variance from 31% to 6% in 60 days and reduce quote-to-approval cycles by 65%.

Can I show you a quick 15-minute walkthrough of how we solve these specific to automotive parts sales?
