Template Body

{{firstName}} — saw you on the pricing page
Hi {{firstName}},

I saw you just checked our pricing — perfect timing! Most industrial machinery Sales Leaders we work with struggle with:

1. **Long sales cycles** → Average 6-9 months from first call to close, delaying revenue recognition
2. **Forecast variance** → 35%+ variance between commit and actual close, making quota planning impossible
3. **Quote complexity** → Custom BOM configurations taking 5+ days, losing deals to faster competitors

We helped Caterpillar's North America sales team cut their sales cycle from 7.2 months to 4.1 months and improve forecast accuracy to 89%, resulting in $800K additional pipeline per quarter.

Can I show you a quick 15-minute walkthrough of how we solve these for industrial machinery sales?

// Track demo page engagement
const demoTracker = {
  startTime: null,
  scrollDepth: 0,

  init() {
    this.startTime = Date.now();
    this.trackScroll();
  },

  trackScroll() {
    window.addEventListener('scroll', () => {
      const scrollPercent = Math.round(
        (window.scrollY / (document.body.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight)) * 100
      );
      this.scrollDepth = Math.max(this.scrollDepth, scrollPercent);
    });
  },

  async sendToOptifai(visitorId) {
    const timeOnPage = Math.round((Date.now() - this.startTime) / 1000);

    await fetch('https://api.optif.ai/v1/signals', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + API_KEY
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        event: 'demo_page_engagement',
        visitor_id: visitorId,
        timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        metadata: {
          time_on_page_seconds: timeOnPage,
          scroll_depth: this.scrollDepth
        }
      })
    });
