Language Principles

• Use "guarantee" and "contract" frequently to reinforce accountability
• Focus on business outcomes rather than technical features
• Speak to business leaders in business language, not IT language
• Emphasize persistence and memory to differentiate from generic AI
• Always include specific metrics when making claims (99.9%, 40%, etc.)

Messaging Do's and Don'ts

Do:

• Use contractual language (SLA, guarantee, commitment, accountability)
• Reference the Salesforce parallel when appropriate
• Focus on business benefits over technical features
• Include specific metrics and proof points

Don't:

• Make claims without guarantees or metrics
• Position as "just another AI tool"

Sales Enablement Messaging

Discovery Questions

• "What percentage of your IT budget goes to reactive problem-solving?"
• "How confident are you in your current technology team's ability to prevent outages?"
• "What would 40% cost reduction with improved reliability mean for your business?"
• "How much time do your executives spend worrying about technology issues?"

Objection Handling

"We already have a managed service provider" Response: "Traditional MSPs react to problems. Contract AI prevents them. We're the only service that signs an SLA for business outcomes, not just service delivery."

"AI isn't reliable enough for mission-critical operations" Response: "You're right about generic AI tools. Contract AI is different - our agents learn your specific environment and we guarantee the outcomes with contractual SLAs."

"This sounds too good to be true" Response: "We understand the skepticism. That's exactly why we put our guarantees in writing. We only succeed when you succeed, and we're contractually committed to your results."

ROI Calculation Script

"Let's look at your current technology costs:

• Current team cost: [X engineers × $150K = $Y annually]
• Current operational issues: [downtime costs, security incidents, etc.]
• Contract AI cost: [$Z annually]
• Guaranteed savings: [40% reduction = $savings]
• Net ROI: [$savings - $Z = positive ROI] Plus you get 99.9% uptime and 24/7 expert coverage."
