The sales conversation for APPROVAL
A word-for-word starting point. Make it sound like you after the first few calls.
The shape of every call (same for all 25)
- Open with their world, not ours (1 minute). One sentence about a problem they likely have. Never start with "CAIN-42 is a Byzantine trust fabric"; say that later, when they ask how it works.
- Discover (5-10 minutes). Ask the questions below and listen. Write down their exact words; you will use them in the follow-up email.
- Show (5 minutes). Run the live demo with them watching. Nothing is pre-recorded: every button calls the real product. Let them pick an attack.
- Offer (2 minutes). One offer, one price, one date. Do not list all 25 products.
- Next step (1 minute). Before you hang up, agree a date: payment, a scoping call with the founder, or a "no".
Openers (pick one)
- "Which action would you never let an AI agent take without a person signing off?"
- "Our approvals cover the exact action and cannot be reused."
- "Want to see a reused approval get refused?"
Discovery questions
Ask, then stop talking. Each question tells you whether they have the problem and how much it matters.
- Which actions need a person?
- Who approves today and how?
- Has an approval ever been misused?
- Slack or not?
The five-minute live demo
Share your screen. Everything below calls the real product, so it can occasionally be slow or rate limited (a "429" means too many tries from one address; wait a minute). Practise it three times before your first call.
- Live demos: run the whole loop: open, vote 2 of 3, mint, use, replay refused.
- Slack: show the Slack path.
- Attack lab: try to change the amount after approval.
Objections and honest answers
| They say | You answer |
|---|---|
| "Can approvals be revoked?" | Not after approval today; an approval lasts up to 10 minutes or until used. We say so. |
| "Do you connect to our Slack?" | The Slack path is tested with signed requests; no live workspace is connected on the public site. We set it up in the pilot. |
| "Who are the approvers?" | Names you give it; keep that list honest. |
If you do not know an answer: "Good question. I will get you a precise answer from our engineers by tomorrow." Then email the founder. Never guess.
