01 / THE ENGINE
A written brief, resolved against the whole register.
A client's brief usually turns into a list built by hand, then a run of cold calls that reach the wrong person as often as the right one. The businesses that fit are already on the register; the work is reading all of it against the brief rather than a sample of it.
Hyper reads that. Your advisers decide which businesses are worth the first approach, and the approach never quotes the owner's own circumstances back at him.
What Hyper found
The shortlist and the record
- Every business on the register matching the brief's own terms, counted and listed for review.
- The evidence behind each one, read from the public record rather than asked for.
- An email and a landing page, generated together, carrying each business's own name, and never naming the reason the approach was made.
What your team decided
The buy-side brief
- The brief: UK precision manufacturers, owner past sixty, no successor on the record.
- The tone of the approach, and the worded link the email closes on.
- Which of the twenty-six was worth a held row and a closer look first.
