The problem it solves

Rules instead of advice.

Most prospecting advice tells you what good looks like. It rarely tells you when to stop researching, what score qualifies an account, or what to do when the buying committee is unknown. Without those rules, every account is decided from scratch.

Who it is designed for

New to enterprise prospectingRead Parts 02–05, then follow the first-week plan.
An experienced SDR or BDRStart with the Quick Reference and the scoring rules; adopt the time box and the weekly review first.
A manager or enablement leadUse Parts 08–10 to agree the ICP, thresholds and stage definitions as a team standard.

How it works

Main features

01

A gate, not a wish list

Exclusions are checked first; required criteria are true/false. False disqualifies, unknown gets one 5-minute verification, then Hold.

02

Research with a stop rule

A 15-minute, three-pass time box: a 3-minute gate, 7 minutes for triggers and pain, 5 minutes for fit and value. One 5-minute extension per account.

03

Evidence tiers

Company primary sources, reputable secondary, data provider, inference. A Tier 4 inference is a hypothesis and supports a score of 1 at most.

04

Five scores, two thresholds

Fit, Timing, Pain, Buying potential and Strategic value, each 0–3. Qualified when Total ≥ 9 and Timing ≥ 2.

05

Priority you can explain

Value (Fit + Buying potential + Strategic) and Urgency (Timing + Pain) set P1, P2 value-led or P2 timing-led.

06

A sequence with purposes

Six touches over 15 working days, each with a channel and a job — from “open with the trigger” to “close the loop”.

FAQ

Operating Manual questions

All questions
Is the Manual enough on its own?

Yes. It states that it is self-contained: every rule is explained there, and the six printable templates in the appendix let you apply it without the other modules.

Are the examples real companies?

No. Every company, person and number in the worked examples is fictional, and the Manual says so. Example numbers show how to read data; they are not benchmarks or customer results.

Does it cover a specific industry?

The method is industry-neutral. The running example is a fictional procurement-software seller targeting multi-site manufacturing, distribution and logistics companies in North America, the UK and the EU.

Does it include email templates?

It includes a Trigger-to-Message Framework, personalization rules, a worked first email and connection note, and a sequence planner. It teaches you to write from evidence rather than giving a swipe file.
