Prospect Audit

Pre-demo sales preparation tool. Generates a comprehensive audit document for a specific prospect, combining company intelligence, CRO findings, and decision-maker research into a conversation-ready deliverable. Use this before every demo to walk in with authority.

Prerequisites

• agency.config.json fully populated with case studies and service offerings
• Tool stack configured (Apollo for person research, web access for CRO audit)
• Company website must be live and accessible

Composites & Capabilities Used

1. company-researcher -- deep company intelligence gathering
2. cro-auditor -- full store audit across all page types
3. person-researcher -- decision-maker background and activity
4. decision-maker-finder -- identify additional stakeholders

Phase 0: Intake

Accept the following inputs:

• Company name: the prospect's business name
• Website URL: their primary website (Shopify store preferred)
• Contact name: the person the demo is scheduled with
• Demo date: when the demo is happening

Validate that the website is accessible before proceeding. If the site is down or behind a password wall, flag immediately and proceed with company research only.

Phase 1: Company Deep Dive

Execute company-researcher with depth: "deep"

Gather:

• Business overview: what they sell, their positioning, target market
• Tech stack: Shopify plan, theme, apps installed, payment providers, analytics tools
• Social presence: Instagram followers, engagement rate, LinkedIn company page, Twitter/X
• Recent news: funding rounds, product launches, leadership changes, press mentions
• Growth signals: hiring activity, new market expansion, ad spend changes
• Competitive landscape: who are their direct competitors, how do they compare
• Reviews and reputation: Trustpilot, Google reviews, app store reviews if applicable

Phase 2: CRO Audit

Execute cro-auditor with depth: "deep"

Audit the following areas:

• Homepage: hero, value proposition, trust signals, navigation, above-the-fold CTA
• Product pages: imagery, descriptions, variant selection, add-to-cart UX, social proof
• Collection pages: filtering, sorting, product card design, pagination
• Mobile experience: responsive behavior, thumb-zone CTA placement, load time
• Cart and checkout: cart drawer vs page, upsells, trust badges, shipping clarity
• Site speed: Core Web Vitals, image optimization, script bloat
• SEO basics: meta titles, descriptions, structured data, internal linking

Score each area out of 10. Calculate an overall score. Rank findings by impact (revenue at stake) and effort (implementation complexity).

Phase 3: Person Research

Execute person-researcher on the demo contact:

• LinkedIn profile summary and headline
• Recent LinkedIn posts and articles (last 3 months)
• Conference talks, podcast appearances, media quotes
• Career trajectory: previous roles, time at current company, promotions
• Topics they engage with: what they like, comment on, share
• Mutual connections or shared interests
• Communication style indicators (formal vs casual, data-driven vs narrative)

Phase 4: Compile Audit Document
