Email Body

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?
