Playbook for selling a "Cyber Security" solution to enterprises - Using AI Co-pilot
Learn how to leverage AI Co-pilot to identify strategic pain points, score target accounts, and drive hyper-personalized multi-channel outreach.
If you are selling to enterprises and have a sales-led motion, you would be hard hit by the growing number of Sales AI tools in the market promising a number of things…
- “We can give you all kinds of signals so that your reps never do cold outreach.”
- “Our AI solution can help you craft emails just like your sales reps do.”
- “Our AI SDRs will automatically reach out to all your prospects while your sales teams are focusing on warm conversations.”
- “Our AI solution will automatically analyze all internal and external intent signals and prioritize the leads according to their urgent interest in your solution category.”
But our fundamental questions about these pointers remain the same — questions we have been vocal about in all our "Future of Prospecting" newsletters:
Can 100+ signals actually help your sales teams? Here is a link to our newsletter that answers this question.
Can AI-generated emails truly make an impact? Will conversion rates improve? Here is a link to our newsletter that answers this question.
Can an AI SDR successfully book a meeting and provide warm leads to my sales team (who are waiting for warm leads from AI SDRs)? Here is a link to our newsletter that answers this question.
Can a list of prioritized accounts (based on intent signals such as G2 searches, white paper downloads, web searches, and hiring news) really help you book more meetings? Everyone has this data, and yet the noise is already prevalent. Here is a link to our newsletter that answers this question.
So exactly what do you need to book more meetings?
You need an “AI Copilot for Complex Enterprise Sales.” (Exactly Revenoid)
If you are selling a cybersecurity solution to mid-market and enterprise customers, here is what you need from a Sales AI Co-pilot (like Revenoid) to help you book more meetings:

- Conduct research using all available data sources, such as proprietary documents, public reports, news, social media, websites, announcements, technical reports, filings, etc.
3. Score Leads:
- Prioritize leads on a scale of 100 based on the recency and criticality of insights (weighted by keyword importance).
- For example, digital transformation-related pains may be critical for one company, while setting up data infrastructures is critical to you.
4. Enable Hyper-Personalized Outreach:
- Craft personalized emails, LinkedIn messages, and cold calls for high-priority prospects.

Use terms like “cyber attack,” “compliance breach,” “data leak,” and “legacy system vulnerability”. These words trigger insights from market data.
“Recent Data Breach”,
“Recent Cyber Security Breach”,
“Recently hired CISO”
“Recently hired IT Security Manager”
“Data breach in the industry”

- Set up a routine review. Update keywords as market trends change.
- The AI Co-pilot accuracy improves with regular tweaks.
