User Story: SDR to AE Lead Handoff Using VVP

Role: Sales Development Representative (SDR)

Scenario:
1️⃣ SDR Receives a Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL)

  • The lead has shown initial interest or engagement and is qualified for outreach.

2️⃣ SDR Creates a Personalized Outreach with an Executive Report

  • VVP generates a 1-page Executive Report, summarizing a high-level business case using publicly available data.

  • The SDR attaches the report to an outreach email and sends it to the prospect.

3️⃣ Prospect Expresses Interest → Becomes a Highly Qualified Sales Lead (HQSL)

  • Once the prospect replies positively, the lead is considered highly qualified (HQSL).

  • The lead is moved to the CRM, and an Account Executive (AE) is assigned to the opportunity.

4️⃣ AE Accesses the CRM & Reviews the Business Case

  • Inside CRM, the AE finds the attached high-level business case that initially captured the prospect’s attention.

5️⃣ AE Schedules a Sales Call & Possible Demo

  • The AE sets up a meeting to discuss the business case and qualify the opportunity further.

  • If relevant, a product demo is scheduled to showcase the solution.

6️⃣ Collaborative Value Assessment (CVA) for Business Justification

  • If additional business justification is needed, the AE and a Value Engineer (VE) engage with the customer in a Collaborative Value Assessment (CVA).

  • Using ValueViewpoint.ai, they co-create a detailed business case, refine ROI assumptions, and align on key value drivers to justify the investment.

🚀 Outcome: A structured, data-driven transition from SDR to AE to VE, ensuring seamless engagement, stronger business justification, and higher conversion rates.
