Play: Sales tooling vendors landing in a new CRO's first 90 days

The signal

A new CRO or VP Sales joins an ICP-fit account in the last 60 days. They start posting publicly about pipeline, ramp, or stack within the first 30 days.

Satellyte tracks the joined date, the company size, and the public posting cadence so you only see CROs in active audit mode, not the ones who are still running internal listening tours.

What it means

They are reviewing the existing stack, the team, and the pipeline math. Replacement decisions land before quarter-end. The two or three vendors who show up with frames (not pitches) get on the shortlist.

The play

1. Open with the audit, not the product

Reference what other new CROs replaced first in similar accounts. They are in pattern-match mode. Hand them the pattern.

2. Send a teardown of the inherited stack

What the previous regime bought, what it costs, what it does not do. New CROs love an outside view of the mess they inherited.

3. Offer one peer call

A 20-minute call with a CRO who already made the swap. New CROs trust other new CROs more than any vendor.

Sample first message

When to skip this play

If the new CRO is internal-promoted, the audit will be slower and politically noisier. Wait for the first quarter-end.

Where to go next

Pair with Tech Changes: if the same account is also showing CRM or sequencer churn, you have the cleanest stack-replacement signal Satellyte fires.
