4 steps, one workflow

How it runs

  1. Step 1 / 4

    Find the owner and the buyer

    Start with the problem you solve and the account notes you already have. Separate the person running the evaluation from the person reviewing the budget, and show the evidence behind each role.

    What you getHalden Systems: the evaluation owner, budget holder and daily user
  2. Step 2 / 4

    Add the purchase reviewers

    Map legal, security and procurement alongside the buying team. Their involvement depends on the purchase, so confirm what each needs to review instead of treating a job title as an approval rule.

  3. Step 3 / 4

    Resolve the contact gaps

    Check current roles and work emails against the account record and contact sources. Keep conflicting or unverified details visible for review, and hold those contacts out of outreach.

    What you getVerified work emails alongside a contact held for review
  4. Step 4 / 4

    Write to each person’s responsibility

    Use the same account context in both drafts. Ask the operational owner about the rollout and the budget holder about the business case. Review the contact map and messages before sending.

Mapping the committee, with and without Unify

Who signs, who uses it and who can quietly say no, before the first email goes out.

Without UnifyWith Unify
A title search gives you contacts without explaining their part in the decisionCompany context and account records suggest roles, with the evidence attached
Procurement, security and legal turn up at the end, and the deal stalls therePotential reviewers appear early, with their responsibilities marked for confirmation
Addresses are guessed from a pattern, so they bounce or reach the wrong personAddresses are checked across sources, and anything unverified stays marked rather than guessed
One message goes to everybody, so it lands right for nobodyOne thesis about the account, said differently to the person who signs and the person who uses it

Make it your own in Unify, then review the results.

Starting promptEdit in Unify

For my target accounts, identify the likely problem owner, budget holder, daily users and purchase reviewers. Show the evidence for each role, distinguish confirmed responsibilities from assumptions, and verify work emails. Keep unresolved contacts out of outreach and draft a different message for the owner and budget holder.

Questions about this workflow

Which roles does the committee map include?

The problem owner, the budget holder, daily users and purchase reviewers, with confirmed responsibilities kept separate from inferred ones.

Where does the evidence come from?

FullEnrich and Forager for people, Clearbit for company context, Exa for public evidence, and your CRM for anyone you have already spoken to.

What if a role is not confirmed?

It is marked as inferred, with the reason, so you know who to verify on the first call.

Does it work for enterprise accounts?

Yes. For large accounts it maps the committee for the business unit you name rather than the whole company.
