ACCOUNT RESEARCH FOR B2B SOFTWARE SELLERS

Nice demo. Wrong buyer.

Find companies where your software has a business case—not just a familiar logo. Alma Hunter connects buyer economics, technical fit and buying readiness.

The accounts. The business case. The next move.

THE PAIN / NOT ANOTHER GENERIC LIST

Your demo cannot fix a missing business case.

Before selling time becomes sunk time, test the obstacles.

A logo is not a use case

An attractive account may have no costly problem your product can solve.

Integration kills the momentum

API, data and security constraints can turn a promising conversation into a dead end.

A contact is not a buying team

Funding, authority and timing still need evidence—not another guessed job title.

02 / NEXTThe obstacle becomes a research question.

WHAT ALMA HUNTER DELIVERS

Sell the value. Research the account.

  1. 01

    Buyer economics first

    Connect your workflow benefit to full deployment cost and a defensible break-even point.

  2. 02

    A workable deployment

    Check APIs, security, permissions and implementation capacity before recommending the account.

  3. 03

    A supported next move

    Separate demonstrated need and buying signals from assumptions. Hold and validate what remains unknown.

THE KPIs / TRACK, DO NOT PROMISE

Better evidence.
Clearer sales decisions.

Metrics to monitor—not guaranteed lifts, meetings or sales.

TRACK 01

Sales-accepted accounts

Track which researched accounts your team accepts after reviewing the evidence.

TRACK 02

Buying-team coverage

Track documented roles, authority and unresolved BANT questions.

TRACK 03

Realized workflow hours

Validate productive redeployment or avoidable cost—not nominal hours freed.

04 / NEXTThe buyer still has to win. Test the economics.

THE BUYER’S RETURN FROM YOUR SOLUTION

If the numbers don’t work,
the pitch won’t fix them.

This models your buyer’s return from your solution—not your revenue from buying leads.

YOUR BUYER’S ROI / FICTIONAL INPUTS

Change the inputs. See what the case needs.
Purchase/setup + installation, integration, training and internal implementation.
Recurring fees, energy, maintenance or operations not already included above.
Potential annual units before the realized share below.
Economic unit value. Use the defensible value described below.
How much potential benefit is actually realized; not an assumed success rate.

Positive year-one model. Validate every assumption.

Illustrative, editable assumptions—not validated results, guarantees or Alma service pricing.

Make the value real.

Hours freed are not automatically cash savings. Value requires useful redeployment or genuinely avoidable cost.

See formulas, evidence needed and research context

Gross benefit = potential units × economic unit value × realized share.

Full year-one cost = full upfront deployment + annual operating cost. Net = benefit − full cost. Year-one ROI = net ÷ full cost × 100. Each cost is subtracted once.

Simple upfront payback = upfront cost ÷ (annual benefit − annual operating cost) × 12 months, only if annual net benefit is positive. It assumes steady annual realization, not a discounted cash-flow forecast. Year-one break-even units = full year-one cost ÷ realized unit value.

Validate the workflow baseline, realized hours, redeployment or avoided spending, attribution and full deployment cost.

FROM THE FOUNDER / NOT A CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

Built from the seller’s side.

“Finding companies was never the hard part.”

A buyer needs a supported business case—not another profile match.
