The Parking Lot

Every enterprise rep knows this moment. It's 7:47 AM and the meeting is at 8:00.

Scene: A parking garage. Tuesday morning. 7:47 AM.

Julia pulls into the parking garage at Expedia's Seattle campus. She's a VAST Data enterprise rep. The meeting is in thirteen minutes. She's meeting with Rajesh Naidu, SVP & Chief Architect — a man who oversees 70+ petabytes of data and is consolidating 21 legacy platform stacks into one unified architecture.

Julia knows none of this.

What Julia knows is what's in Salesforce: a contact record, a phone number, a note from the BDR that says "interested in storage solutions," and a last-touch date from three weeks ago. She spent twenty minutes last night Googling "Expedia data infrastructure" and found a two-year-old blog post. She has no idea what Rajesh's actual pain points are, who else influences the decision, or that Expedia just deployed 1,500 AI agents and is drowning in data gravity.

Julia is smart. Julia is experienced. Julia is about to walk into a knife fight with a butter knife.

This is not Julia's fault. This is the system's fault. Enterprise sales has been running on the same broken model for decades: the CRM holds internal data, the rep is expected to do their own research, and the "360-degree customer view" that every CRM vendor promises has always been a marketing lie. It's a 180-degree view at best — and it only shows what your company knows, not what the world knows.[1]

Until the Meeting
Not enough time to research. Always enough time to wing it.

Now here's where it gets worse. The VAST engineering team — brilliant people, world-class infrastructure builders — watched this problem and said: "We'll build a Sales Assistant Agent. It'll sit on top of the CRM, use RAG to reason across internal data, and give the rep answers in natural language." And they did. And it's impressive.[4]

But here's what the engineer didn't think about — because he's never carried a bag:

The Hamster Wheel Problem - Enterprise sales rep running on a wheel of CRM tools
The Hamster Wheel Problem
The Sales Assistant Agent is a tool. And tools create work. The moment you hand an enterprise rep a new tool — no matter how elegant — the first thing they're going to do is walk down the hall, find the nearest Solutions Architect, and say: "Hey, can you figure this out for me?" Now you've added another person to the wheel. The ER and the SA are both spinning — and the hamster is running faster than ever.

The engineer sees a powerful AI agent. The rep sees another thing they have to learn, another interface to navigate, another conversation with the SA about how to use it. The engineer's demo looks great on stage. But in the parking garage at 7:47 AM, Julia isn't opening a RAG tool. She's opening her email to see if the BDR left any notes.

"I spent 30 years watching brilliant sales reps walk into meetings unprepared — not because they were lazy, but because the research took too long and the tools created more work than they saved. The answer was never a better tool. The answer was to do it for them."

— JB, Founder, BestPaidRep.com

What if Julia didn't have to do anything? What if the intelligence was already there — already researched, already structured, already loaded into the system, already waiting for her? What if all she had to do was pull out her phone and say two words?

"Hey True360"

The True360 Vision

What if your AI sales agent could reason across everything — internal and external — and the rep never had to lift a finger?

Scene: Same parking garage. Same Tuesday. But six months from now.

Julia pulls into the parking garage at Expedia's Seattle campus. The meeting is in thirteen minutes. But this time, something is different. Last Thursday, her manager ordered an Opportunity Intelligence Report on Expedia from BestPaidRep.com. It took him 10 minutes. He filled in Julia's name, the account name, his email, and a short paragraph: "Julia is meeting with Rajesh Naidu, SVP & Chief Architect. First face-to-face. Exploring data infrastructure modernization."

That was it. Done. White glove. No SA involved. No research. No hamster wheel.

By Friday afternoon, a comprehensive, 10-chapter intelligence book on Expedia was automatically ingested into the VAST Sales Assistant Agent. Julia didn't even know it happened. She just pulls out her phone.

"Hey True360 — what should I know about Rajesh Naidu and Expedia's data infrastructure before this meeting?"

True360 is a simple but powerful concept: combine VAST Data's Sales Assistant Agent (internal intelligence) with BestPaidRep.com's Opportunity Intelligence Reports (external intelligence) to create the industry's first complete, AI-powered 360-degree customer view.

But here's what makes True360 different from every other "AI for sales" pitch: the rep does nothing. The intelligence is ordered by a manager or triggered by a workflow. It's researched, assembled, cited, and delivered by BestPaidRep.com. It's automatically ingested into the VAST AI OS. And it's queryable through the Sales Assistant Agent in natural language. The rep's only job is to show up and be brilliant.

Done For You, White Glove

The rep never touches the machinery. That's not a feature. That's the entire point.

Scene: A sales manager's desk. 3:15 PM on a Wednesday.

Brad is a front-line sales manager at VAST Data. He just got off a pipeline call. Julia has a meeting with Expedia next Tuesday — first face-to-face with the SVP of Architecture. Brad knows this meeting matters. In the old world, he'd tell Julia to "do her homework" and hope for the best. Maybe she'd spend a few hours Googling. Maybe she'd ask the SA to pull some data. Maybe she'd wing it.

Instead, Brad opens BestPaidRep.com. He fills in four fields and a short paragraph. He clicks submit. Total time: 10 minutes. He goes back to his pipeline.

By Friday, a 10-chapter intelligence book on Expedia — complete with financial analysis, executive profiles with real headshots, validated pain points from Glassdoor and job postings, competitive landscape, and a strategic engagement roadmap — has been automatically ingested into the VAST Sales Assistant Agent. Julia doesn't even know it happened until she asks True360 a question and gets an answer that makes her sound like she's been studying Expedia for a month.

This is the DFY (Done For You) white-glove model, and it is the single most important design decision in the entire True360 architecture. It is the reason this will work when every other "AI for sales" tool has failed to achieve adoption.

Here's why: enterprise reps don't fail because they lack tools. They fail because they lack time. They have 15 accounts, 30 contacts, 8 meetings this week, a forecast due Friday, and a quota that doesn't care about their learning curve. Every new tool — no matter how powerful — is a tax on their time. And the first thing a taxed rep does is find someone else to pay it.[2]

"Hey True360"

The moment that changes everything — and the moment the client knows you're different.

Scene: A conference room at Expedia HQ. 10:22 AM. The meeting is going well.

Julia is sitting across from Rajesh Naidu. The conversation has been excellent — she opened with insights about Expedia's data mesh migration that made Rajesh lean forward. She referenced the 21 legacy platform stacks being consolidated. She knew about the AI Playground with 60+ LLMs. Rajesh is impressed. He wasn't expecting this level of preparation from a storage vendor.

Then Rajesh asks a question Julia doesn't know the answer to: "How many petabytes of our data is VAST currently managing across our test environments?"

In the old world, Julia would say: "Great question — let me get back to you on that." Translation: I have no idea, and I'm going to bother my SA for the next 48 hours trying to find out. The momentum dies. The meeting ends politely. The follow-up email gets lost in Rajesh's inbox.

But Julia doesn't say that. She picks up her phone.

"Hey True360 — what is VAST's current data footprint with Expedia across all environments?"

Three seconds later: "Based on CRM records and the latest infrastructure assessment, VAST is currently managing 4.2 PB across Expedia's three test environments, with a production pilot of 12 PB scheduled for Q2. The primary contact for the production pilot is David Chen, Senior Director of Cloud Infrastructure, who reports to Rajesh Naidu. [Sources: CRM Note #4421, BPR Report Ch.3, Internal Assessment Doc]"

Rajesh's eyes widen. Not because of the number — because Julia knows his business. She knows his team. She knows the timeline. She knows things that aren't on any website or in any press release.

"That's... very impressive," Rajesh says. "Let me introduce you to David. Let's set up a lunch to discuss the production timeline."

The deal just moved from discovery to engagement. In three seconds. Because of two words: "Hey True360."

Listening...
"Hey True360 — what should I know about Rajesh Naidu before this meeting?"
Rajesh Naidu — SVP & Chief Architect at Expedia Group. Oversees a 70+ PB data estate. Currently leading the consolidation of 21 legacy platform stacks into a unified architecture. Key priorities: data mesh migration, cross-region access optimization, and egress cost reduction. Reports directly to CTO Ramana Thumu. Your CRM shows a discovery call on 11/15 where Rajesh expressed interest in unified storage.

"Who else should I be talking to?"
Key influencers: Ramana Thumu (CTO, drives unified platform strategy), Scott Schenkel (CFO, focused on cost optimization including egress), and David Chen (Sr. Dir. Cloud Infra, owns the production pilot). Procurement path goes through Sarah Johnson in Vendor Management.

This is the "Hey True360" moment — and it's the reason every customer of VAST, Salesforce, HubSpot, and every other CRM on the planet will want this. It's not just about having better data. It's about having the right data at the right moment, delivered in natural language, with citations, in the middle of a live conversation.

The client knows immediately that you know their business. You know their org chart. You know their pain points. You know things that aren't on Google. And you didn't spend weeks researching — because it was all Done For You.

The cool part that the VAST engineer didn't talk about in the demo? The ability to ask questions to the entire True360 ecosystem in real time. Not just CRM data. Not just internal notes. Everything — financial filings, executive profiles, technology assessments, competitive intelligence, employee sentiment, validated pain points — all queryable, all cited, all instant.[5]

Every client of VAST will want this. Every client of Salesforce will want this. Every client of HubSpot will want this. Because every enterprise rep on the planet has been in that parking garage at 7:47 AM, wishing they knew more. True360 makes that wish come true — and the rep never had to do a thing.

Scenario A: Land & Expand

Growing existing accounts is where the real money lives. True360 turns it into a science.

Scene: Quarterly pipeline review. A VP of Sales is looking at the installed base.

"We have 200 existing customers," the VP says. "How many of them are we growing?" The room goes quiet. Everyone knows the answer: not enough. The reps are so busy chasing new logos that the installed base is being neglected. Competitors are circling. Renewals are at risk. And nobody has a systematic way to identify which accounts are ripe for expansion and which are drifting away.

Until now.

True360's Land & Expand capability is where BestPaidRep.com's external intelligence meets VAST's internal CRM data to create something neither could produce alone: a proactive, data-driven Unsolicited Bid (UB) for existing customers.

Here's how it works. The Sales Assistant Agent feeds BestPaidRep.com the internal customer history — when they became a customer, what the initial order was, what problems it's solving, what the customer's growth rate looks like. BPR layers on fresh external intelligence: What are the customer's current pain points? What's their latest tech strategy? Who's new in the C-suite? Are they evaluating competitors? What does Glassdoor say about their infrastructure team's morale?

The output is not a report — it's a battle plan:

Intelligence Element Internal Source (VAST CRM) External Source (BPR) Action Produced
Customer Tenure & History Original deal date, initial order size Company growth trajectory, M&A activity Expansion timing recommendation
Current Pain Points Support tickets, feature requests Glassdoor, Reddit, job postings, earnings calls Unsolicited Bid (UB) proposal
Growth Rate Usage metrics, storage consumption Revenue growth, capex trends, hiring patterns Capacity planning proposal
Competitive Drift Engagement frequency, response times Job postings mentioning competitors, vendor announcements Competitive defense strategy
Influence Map Known contacts, meeting history New executives, org changes, LinkedIn activity Stakeholder engagement plan
Report Freshness Last BPR report date Latest news, earnings, leadership changes Refresh trigger: Yes/No
📨
The Unsolicited Bid: How It Works
Rep asks True360
"Hey True360 — what expansion opportunities exist at Acme Corp and who do I need to talk to?"
True360 Response
"Acme Corp became a customer 18 months ago with a 2 PB initial order for their analytics workload. Since then, their data estate has grown 340% (per their latest 10-K). They've posted 12 job listings for 'AI/ML Engineer' in the last 90 days, suggesting a major AI initiative. Their CTO spoke at re:Invent about 'breaking free from data silos' — language that aligns with VAST's unified platform story. Recommended UB: A 10 PB expansion proposal targeting their AI workload, positioned around zero-ETL RAG capabilities. Key contact: New VP of Data Engineering (hired 6 weeks ago from Snowflake — likely evaluating alternatives). Risk: Three Databricks job postings suggest they may be evaluating a lakehouse approach. Report last refreshed: 47 days ago. Recommend refresh. [Sources: BPR Report, CRM, 10-K Filing, LinkedIn, Job Postings]"

The rep didn't research any of this. The manager didn't assign it. The SA didn't build it. True360 produced it automatically by combining what VAST already knows (internal) with what BestPaidRep.com discovered (external). The Unsolicited Bid goes into the proposed meeting notes, along with who the ER is meeting with, what steps they need to take, who else needs to be influenced, and whether the customer is headed down a path that needs course correction.

This is a whole strategy for growing the existing account base — and the rep's only job is to show up prepared.

The Full Arsenal

Opportunity Intelligence is just the beginning. Here's everything BestPaidRep.com can deliver — all DFY, all auto-ingested into VAST OS.

Scene: A VAST rep on a 6 AM flight to Chicago. Two hours of dead time.

Marcus has a meeting at 10 AM with a Fortune 500 prospect. He could review the 10-chapter Opportunity Intelligence Report on his laptop. But he's in a middle seat and his laptop is in the overhead bin. So he puts in his AirPods and opens the BestPaidRep.com podcast — a 20-minute audio briefing on everything he needs to know about the account, narrated and produced automatically from the same intelligence that lives in True360.

By the time the plane lands, Marcus knows the CTO's priorities, the three biggest pain points, the competitive landscape, and exactly what to say in the first five minutes. He never opened a laptop. He never read a document. He just listened.

The Opportunity Intelligence Report is the flagship product. But BestPaidRep.com's vision is to deliver intelligence in every format a sales professional consumes — and every format that can be auto-ingested into the VAST AI OS. Here's the full arsenal:

📖

Every single one of these deliverables is designed to be auto-ingested by the VAST AI OS. The audio gets transcribed and vectorized. The slides get parsed and indexed. The knowledge graph gets stored as structured data. Everything flows into the Sales Assistant Agent's data estate, enriching the True360 ecosystem with every new deliverable.[6]

And everything — everything — is DFY, white glove. The rep doesn't create the podcast. The rep doesn't build the slides. The rep doesn't design the infographic. BestPaidRep.com does it all. The rep just consumes the intelligence in whatever format works for them at that moment. If it can be consumed as content, we can automate it and deliver it. Our proprietary content generation pipeline handles every format.

Under the Hood

For the technical audience: how BPR intelligence flows through the VAST AI OS architecture.

Scene: A VAST engineering meeting. An engineer raises his hand.

"I could build that in a weekend," the engineer says. He's looking at the Opportunity Intelligence Report. He sees HTML, some CSS, a few API calls to an LLM. He thinks this is a prompt engineering project. He's wrong — but we'll get to that in Section 8. For now, let's give him what he wants: the technical architecture.

The VAST Sales Assistant Agent is built on the VAST AI Operating System (AI OS) — a unified "Data-to-AI" stack that eliminates the traditional friction of moving data between storage, databases, and AI tools. Everything runs natively within the same infrastructure.[5]

VAST Component Function Role in True360
VAST DataStore High-performance storage for all enterprise data Stores BPR reports alongside CRM exports, emails, transcripts
VAST Database & Vector DB Integrated vector database for RAG without external silos Embeds and indexes BPR intelligence for semantic retrieval
VAST InsightEngine Event-driven AI pipelines for ingest and RAG Auto-chunks, embeds, and indexes incoming BPR reports
VAST AgentEngine Agent deployment, orchestration, and lifecycle management Runs the Sales Assistant with access to enriched True360 data
VAST SyncEngine Bridges disparate data sources into the VAST AI OS Pulls BPR reports from external delivery into the data estate
MCP Toolbox Registry of Model Context Protocol tools for agent use BPR can be registered as an MCP tool the agent calls on demand

The integration is elegant because it's simple. BestPaidRep.com delivers a structured HTML report. The report enters the VAST DataStore via SyncEngine or API. InsightEngine automatically detects the new data, chunks it into semantically meaningful segments, generates vector embeddings, and indexes them in the VAST Vector DB. The Sales Assistant Agent's RAG queries now include this external intelligence alongside all internal data. No ETL. No middleware. No custom connectors.[9]

The agent's competitive advantages are significant: Zero-ETL RAG means it queries data exactly where it lives. Global scale allows it to reason across exabytes of data. MCP compatibility means BPR can be registered as an external tool the agent calls on demand. And built-in security and governance ensures the agent only sees data the specific user is authorized to access.[5]

What makes this architecture uniquely suited for True360 is that the Vector DB, the RAG pipeline, the MCP toolbox, and the agent runtime all share the same infrastructure. Adding BestPaidRep.com's intelligence is not an integration project. It is simply adding data to the platform the agent already reasons across.[10]

The Moat

"I could build that in a weekend." No. You can't. Here's why.

Scene: A Slack channel at VAST. An engineer just saw the Expedia Opportunity Book.

"That's just fluff," he types. "It's an HTML page with some LLM output. I could build that in 8 hours." His colleague agrees: "Yeah, just hit the OpenAI API, scrape some websites, dump it into a template. Done."

They're not wrong about the technology. They're wrong about everything else.

These are infrastructure engineers. Brilliant ones. They build storage systems that handle exabytes. They design vector databases that search billions of embeddings in milliseconds. They are world-class at what they do. But they have never carried a bag. They have never sat across from a CTO who controls a $50 million budget and had 45 minutes to earn trust. They have never lost a deal because they didn't know the CFO's name. They have never been in the parking garage at 7:47 AM, terrified.

That's the moat. And it's uncrossable.

Let's address the "I could build that" argument directly, because it will come up. It always does.

What Engineers See What They're Missing
"It's just an LLM generating text" It's 30+ years of domain expertise encoded into research methodology, source selection, pain point validation, and narrative structure. The LLM is the pen. JB is the author.
"I can scrape the same websites" Knowing which websites to scrape, what to look for, and how to interpret what you find requires decades of enterprise sales experience. A Glassdoor review means nothing to an engineer. To an ER, it's a buying signal.
"The HTML template is simple" The template is the least important part. The intelligence methodology — 8 research channels, cross-validated pain points, executive profiling, competitive positioning — is the product.
"RAG is a solved problem" RAG retrieval is solved. Knowing what questions an ER actually needs answered in a live meeting is not. The quality of the data going INTO the RAG pipeline determines the quality of what comes OUT.
"We could do this internally" You could. You won't. Because your engineers are building infrastructure, your SAs are doing demos, and your reps are trying to hit quota. Nobody has time to become a research analyst. That's why it's DFY.

The moat is not code. The moat is not technology. The moat is domain expertise that cannot be replicated by someone who has never done the job.

The Gate-Crasher vs. The Insider

Here's something the engineer's demo didn't mention: the Sales Assistant Agent has it easy. It sits inside the firewall. It has direct access to Salesforce, to internal documents, to CRM records, to deal notes. It never has to prove it's human. It never gets kicked out. It never has to solve a CAPTCHA or navigate a login wall. It's an insider — and insiders have easy access to insider data.

BestPaidRep.com is an outsider. And that's what makes it powerful.

Our research agents have to fight for every piece of intelligence. They sign into accounts. They solve CAPTCHAs. They prove they're human on sites that are designed to block bots. They navigate gated content, anti-scraping walls, dynamic JavaScript-loaded pages, and rate limiters. They get kicked out — and they find another way in. They don't just visit websites; they crash through gates that would stop any standard scraping tool dead in its tracks.

And they do it at scale. Need intelligence from 50 sources? Done. Need to swarm 200 websites simultaneously in a single session? Done. Need to extract data from behind a login on a vendor portal, cross-reference it with a Glassdoor review, validate it against a job posting, and synthesize it into an actionable insight? Done. All of it DFY. All of it delivered with white gloves.

The Sales Assistant Agent is the insider. BestPaidRep.com is the gate-crasher. Together, they form True360 — because you need both sides of the wall to see the complete picture.

🏠

Sales Assistant Agent (The Insider)

Direct access to Salesforce, CRM records, deal notes, internal docs. No gates. No walls. Easy access to internal data.

🚧

BestPaidRep.com (The Gate-Crasher)

Fights through CAPTCHAs, login walls, anti-bot detection, rate limiters, and gated content. Swarms hundreds of sites simultaneously. Extracts intelligence that no insider can reach.

The competitors — the contact databases, the call recorders, the lead lists — they can tell you a company's revenue and the CEO's email. They can give you a contact list. They can transcribe your calls. None of them can tell you that the CTO's Glassdoor review about "legacy platform fatigue" is a buying signal, that the CFO's earnings call comment about "optimizing cloud egress costs" maps directly to your value proposition, or that the three job postings on a competitor's careers page mean you're about to lose the account.

BestPaidRep.com can. Because it was built by sales, for sales. By someone who spent 30+ years in the arena, not in the engineering lab.

The engineers build the bridge between servers. BestPaidRep.com builds the bridge to the ER kingdom.

A Day in the Life

Two enterprise reps. Same account. Same meeting. One has True360. One doesn't.

WITHOUT True360
6:30 AM
Alarm goes off. Big meeting today with Expedia. Opens laptop in bed. Starts Googling "Expedia technology stack." Gets 4 million results. Reads a 2022 article. Hopes it's still accurate.
7:15 AM
Slacks the SA: "Hey, do we have anything on Expedia's infrastructure?" SA responds: "Let me check." Translation: SA will spend 3 hours on this and resent it.
8:00 AM
Checks CRM. Last note is from 6 months ago: "Good meeting. Will follow up." No context. No names. No strategy.
9:30 AM
SA sends a 40-page PDF from the marketing team. It's a generic "VAST for Travel Industry" deck. Not specific to Expedia. Not helpful.
10:00 AM
Meeting starts. Rep opens with: "So, tell me about your infrastructure challenges." The CTO's face says it all: You should already know this.
10:45 AM
Meeting ends. "We'll be in touch." They won't.
WITH True360
6:30 AM
Alarm goes off. Big meeting today with Expedia. Puts in AirPods. "Hey True360, give me the 5-minute briefing on Expedia." Listens while making coffee.
7:15 AM
Drives to the office. Asks True360: "Who am I meeting with and what do they care about?" Gets Rajesh Naidu's profile, priorities, and the fact that he just promoted David Chen to lead the production pilot.
8:00 AM
Quick glance at the Opportunity Intelligence Book on the phone. Sees the three validated pain points, the competitive landscape, and the recommended opening strategy. No SA needed.
9:30 AM
Reviews the infographic summary. Memorizes two key stats: 70+ PB data estate, 21 legacy platforms being consolidated. These will be conversation starters.
10:00 AM
Meeting starts. Rep opens with: "I understand you're consolidating 21 legacy platform stacks and your team is focused on reducing cross-region egress costs." The CTO leans forward.
10:45 AM
"Let me introduce you to David Chen. Let's set up a lunch." Deal moves to engagement. The rep never opened a laptop before 10 AM.

Same rep. Same account. Same meeting time. The only difference: one had True360, and one didn't. One spent the morning panicking and bothering the SA. The other spent the morning listening to a podcast and drinking coffee. One lost the deal. The other advanced it.

That's the product. Not the technology. Not the RAG pipeline. Not the vector embeddings. The product is the difference between those two mornings. The product is confidence. The product is preparation. The product is walking into the room knowing more about the client's business than the client expects you to know.

And the rep never did any of the work. It was all DFY. White glove. Built by sales, for sales.

The Opportunity

Why this matters for VAST, for Salesforce, for HubSpot — and for the entire enterprise sales industry.

Scene: A boardroom. 18 months from now.

VAST Data has 600 enterprise reps. Every one of them has True360. The installed base is growing at 40% year-over-year because Land & Expand is now a science, not a hope. New logo acquisition is up 25% because reps walk into every first meeting knowing more than the competition. The SA team has been freed from research duty and is back to doing what they do best: technical demos and architecture reviews. The VP of Sales is smiling for the first time in quarters.

And then Salesforce calls. "We want to offer this to all of our customers."

True360 is not just a product for VAST. It's a platform play that can be replicated across every CRM ecosystem on the planet:

Platform Integration Path Market Size Status
VAST Data + Salesforce VAST AI OS → Salesforce via SyncEngine VAST's entire enterprise customer base Phase 1 — NOW
Salesforce Native Direct Salesforce integration via AppExchange 150,000+ Salesforce enterprise customers Phase 2 — Next
HubSpot True360 HubSpot CRM integration via API 200,000+ HubSpot customers Phase 3
Microsoft Dynamics Dynamics 365 integration 500,000+ Dynamics users Phase 4

The vision is clear: True360 becomes the external intelligence layer for every CRM on the planet. VAST is the first partner because the AI OS architecture makes the integration seamless. Salesforce is next because it's the largest CRM ecosystem. HubSpot follows because it's the fastest-growing. And at some point, the question becomes: why not acquire one of the existing data providers (ZoomInfo, Apollo, Lusha) and replace their static contact databases with True360's living, breathing, AI-powered intelligence?

That's not a fantasy. That's a business plan. And it starts with one thing: proving the model works at VAST.

Next Steps: The Engagement Plan

From handshake to production in 12 weeks.

Phase Timeline Deliverables Success Criteria
Phase 1: POC Weeks 1–4 5 Opportunity Intelligence Books for live VAST accounts; ingest into Sales Assistant Agent; validate "Hey True360" queries Reps confirm intelligence accuracy and usefulness; agent returns BPR-sourced answers with citations
Phase 2: Pilot Weeks 5–8 Expand to 25 accounts; add Land & Expand intelligence; deliver first Unsolicited Bids; add audio briefings and slide decks Measurable pipeline acceleration; rep adoption rate above 80%; first UB-generated meeting booked
Phase 3: Scale Weeks 9–12 Full services portfolio (podcasts, videos, QBRs, infographics); automated refresh triggers; "Hey True360" voice integration 100+ accounts covered; management QBR automation live; competitive win rate improvement documented
Phase 4: Enterprise Rollout Months 4–12 Roll to all 600 reps; Salesforce integration planning; HubSpot True360 design; Salesforce Ventures conversation Full deployment; revenue impact quantified; next platform partnership signed

The POC starts with 5 accounts. Real accounts. Real reps. Real meetings. We deliver the Opportunity Intelligence Books, ingest them into the VAST AI OS, and let the reps experience the "Hey True360" moment for themselves. Once they feel it — once they walk into a meeting knowing more than they've ever known — they'll never go back.

That's how you scale from 5 to 600. Not by mandating adoption. By making the product so good that reps demand it.

Thank You

To the VAST Data team — thank you for your time, your vision, and your willingness to explore something that has never been done before. True360 is the first external intelligence layer ever built for an enterprise CRM ecosystem. It's built by someone who spent 30+ years in the arena, not in the engineering lab. And it's built for the people who carry the hardest job in the enterprise: the rep.

I started BestPaidRep.com because I believe enterprise sales professionals deserve better intelligence, delivered in a way that respects their time and their craft. VAST Data's AI OS is the perfect platform to bring this vision to life. Together, we can build something that transforms how every enterprise rep on the planet prepares for the most important meetings of their career.

Let's make True360 real. Let's turn beans into steak.
