can you give me an example of this? I would like to know roughly what it looks like.

It might be easier to show you through a demo. I can set you up with one of
my account execs and they can take a few minutes to walk you through it,
assess your situation and see how they can help.

Are you free tomorrow or Wednesday?

I'm not quite sure what that reply means. As I mentioned, it would be
easier to understand if we were to actually talk to each other over the
phone or skype. If you are unfamiliar with us, that is the route I would
suggest. Is this something you would be comfortable doing?

Hello,
That is very helpful, thank you. Do you perhaps have some literature I could look at, or could you send me some more information about what exactly makes you unique?

Hey Tara,

My job is to book meetings and demos with my account manager so they can
give the relevant information you are asking for. I would highly suggest
talking to one of them over either skype or the phone (which I can
absolutely set up for you). The sales cycle can take take weeks or months,
so they wouldn't be trying to sell you on something you don't want right
away. They would simply be assessing your situation and seeing if it would
be a good fit, and answering any questions you may have - including how we
differentiate ourselves. Is this something you would be comfortable with?

Hey Tara,

There are, in certain circumstances, things that can be done to fit into a
specific budget. We would have to assess MNesty's use case and go from
there. I've cc'ed my account manager Caleb, and he will answer all the
specific questions you may have, do an assessment of your needs, and make a
tailored suggestion based on that.

Hey Tara,

I can work with you to see if Vanilla is a fit, and whether we have a
custom plan that might work a little better for your organization. When is
good for a 5 minute call?

Hi,
Sounds great, how can we proceed? We're interested in getting started pretty much immediately, as we could use this.
