The sales conversation for SPEND GOVERNOR
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)
- "What stops an agent stuck in a loop from spending all weekend?"
- "We built a circuit breaker for agent spending."
- "Want to watch a breaker trip live?"
Discovery questions
Ask, then stop talking. Each question tells you whether they have the problem and how much it matters.
- What do agents pay for?
- Biggest surprise bill so far?
- Who gets alerted today?
- How many agents and teams?
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 lab: set a budget tree, spend until it trips, try to spend again.
- Races: show many parallel spends cannot overshoot.
- Resets: only a signed reset re-opens.
- Lab: loop detection.
Objections and honest answers
| They say | You answer |
|---|---|
| "Our cloud has alerts." | Alerts tell you after; the governor stops the next charge. |
| "Does it see all our spending?" | Only what calls it. Put it in the model-call or payment path. |
| "Is it exact to the cent?" | It uses floating-point cents; overshoot is bounded to a billionth of a cent per level. |
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.
