Executive summary
Mike handled this assessment with the composure of a senior AE. The opening email was specific, referencing Northstar's recent EMEA scale-up, and his pivot after Emma's Project44 objection was clean — he reframed the conversation around complementary value rather than defending the product. He closed for a low-friction next step (a two-week pilot) and converted within 48 hours.
Two areas to monitor: follow-up cadence still trends slightly slow on day-three touches, and discovery questions skew toward the operational layer when economic framing would unlock more senior conversations.
