Get in front of the right people, together.

A focused 30-day co-selling proof for Argent Reach and Manifestic: five shared accounts, faster follow-up after events, and a security review before any partner data is introduced.

Prepared for Peter ReynoldsWorking proposal · no price agreedReview before sharing
From the conversation

The issue is not reach. It is follow-through.

Argent Reach already has the relationships and expertise. The immediate opportunity is to make the work with one ERP partner visible between the two-week check-ins: five shared accounts, clear ownership, and a next step that does not depend on memory or another spreadsheet. Argent Reach keeps its existing CRM as the system of record.

  • Five targets, one partnerStart with a focused group from the existing 25-account process.
  • Follow up while the event is freshDraft a relevant first message quickly; a person approves every send.
  • Security before dataArgent Reach reviews the access, audit, export, retention, and AI boundaries before real account data is shared.
“Speed kills everything.”Peter Reynolds · September 23 call, about timely follow-up
Recommended first proof

A 30-day co-selling proof that earns the right to expand.

Choose one partner and five approved accounts from the existing process. Create a shared view of the owner, partner role, current activity, and next human action for each account, then use the evidence to decide whether a broader pilot is warranted.

01 / SHARED ACCOUNTS

Five targets, one partner

Agree on the account owner, partner role, permitted data, qualification criteria, and next action for each account. Both sides begin from one current shared record.

02 / EVENT FOLLOW-UP

Fast, with a person’s approval

Use one event, trade-show, or campaign scenario to draft a useful first follow-up while it is fresh. A named person approves every message before any send.

03 / SECURITY PROOF

Argent Reach reviews us first

Demonstrate allowed and denied views, record changes, and the proposed retention and export behavior. Peter's security reviewer challenges the design before sensitive data enters.

A proposal, not a product claim. The call did not verify that the current CRM has enterprise-ready data partitioning, audit trails, or compliance certification. Those are proof gates.
How the proof would run

From a shared spreadsheet to a shared workspace.

WEEK 1

Answer the security questions

Peter names the reviewers and the evidence they need for data isolation, logging, export, retention, and access removal.

WEEK 2

Choose the partner and five accounts

Agree on ownership, permitted fields, access rules, qualification, and review cadence. Use cleared examples before any live partner data enters.

WEEKS 3–4

Run one human-approved follow-up

Test account status, activity history, a timely event follow-up, and the permission matrix. Review the evidence together and decide whether to expand, change, or stop.

Peter's non-negotiable

Security is the entry criterion.

A partner network cannot run on implied access. Define the data boundary first, then demonstrate it to the people who will be accountable for it.

01 / IDENTITIES

Who is in?

Argent, each partner, Manifestic, and any salesperson get named roles.

02 / VISIBILITY

Who sees what?

Test account-level permissions, including denied-access cases.

03 / RECORD

What changed?

Show a reviewable history of activity, decisions, exports, and owner changes.

04 / EXIT

What leaves?

Agree on retention, exports, revoked access, and removal before importing real data.

Support the relationship

Start with what teaches us the most.

Rep pages and the media moment

Use the Peter Reynolds page as a focused destination for approved prospecting. Create separate rep pages only after the booking and CRM handoff are verified, and have a capture page ready before any planned radio or TV coverage.

Start with human-reviewed education

Build practical answers to the cybersecurity and AI questions buyers already ask. The tone stays educational, never fear-based; every piece uses verified sources and goes through Argent Reach review before publication.

Explore the referral exchange

Identify where Manifestic and Argent Reach can make warm introductions in either direction, then record who owns each conversation. Any referral terms, client information, or outreach remain subject to separate approval.

Park the channel plays

The farm feed venture and a possible Deluxe partnership can be revisited as separate discovery tracks after the partner proof, with their own claims, data boundaries, and commercial terms.

Commercial scope

Keep the first decision small.

The call did not settle a pilot price, term, partner arrangement, or data-processing requirements. The immediate decision is whether the security and workflow review should define a written scope.

Ready to review

The existing partner workflow, a focused sales page, and an education-first content direction.

To scope

One partner, approved example accounts, event or campaign scenario, and accountable owners.

To approve

Security evidence, permitted data, sending authority, campaign language, and the human review point.

To quote

Time-boxed deliverables, dependencies, success measures, cost, and a review date after the evidence is clear.

The farm feed venture and a possible Deluxe partnership are separate discovery tracks. Their reach, economics, and relationships were discussed as possibilities, not established offers.

Questions to settle together

A short working session can make this concrete.

Which accounts belong in the proof?

Choose 3–5 synthetic or specifically cleared examples from the ERP partnership's existing 25-account process.

Who approves the security design?

Peter names the reviewer and the required evidence for data isolation, logging, export, retention, and access removal.

What would count as success?

Every account has an owner and next action; denied-access tests pass; activity is reviewable; outreach stays human-approved; qualified opportunities are distinguishable from noise.

When do we discuss a paid pilot?

After the process map and security review establish a feasible scope. No fee or term was agreed on September 23.

When should a media capture page be ready?

Before any confirmed radio or TV appearance, once the timing, spokesperson, booking destination, and handoff owner are verified.

Which other conversations belong outside this pilot?

The farm feed venture, Deluxe possibility, and any referral arrangement each need their own discovery, evidence, and commercial terms.

The next decision

Choose one partner and make the proof reviewable.

Peter, Anton, and Erik can choose the partner, the approved example accounts, the security reviewer, and the evidence required for a live pilot. This page is a working proposal for that decision.
