The US life/health/annuity distribution market is large, fragmented, and tech-hungry. Roughly 500–1,000 FMOs and IMOs have the scale and budget to adopt operational software. Cross-sell remains the most under-executed revenue lever in the channel — and it's the lever whose economics align perfectly with performance-based SaaS.
Tiered $295–$4,995/mo based on FMO size. Policy analysis, cross-sell opportunity identification, agent prioritization. 30-day trial. Annual billing saves 15%.
$495/agent/campaign + 25% Y1 commission + 10% renewals Y2–3. Direct response gap campaigns standard; referral generation & nurture as upsells.
€12.5k/mo existing retainers delivered by Mitch. Not actively sold. Reactivated only as white-glove upsell ($7,500/mo floor) to RevEngine enterprise clients.
Website footer only. No marketing spend. Kill if no meaningful inbound in 6 months.
Monthly or annual billing (~15% effective annual discount). Setup fee $2,500 waived on annual commitment.

The goal: shift from 70% executing to 60% selling by Q4 2027. Every brief written, playbook handed off, and hire made buys back strategic hours.
| Role | When | Budget | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| SDR / VA | Month 2–4 | €1k–2k/mo, 20–30 hrs/wk | Start asap — protects Kevin's sales time. Remote EU or LatAm. |
| Customer Success lead | Month 5–7 | €4k–6k/mo | Conditional: go/no-go end of month 4 based on pilot-to-paid rate. |
| 2nd SDR | Month 14+ | TBD | Evaluate performance of first SDR at month 13. |

| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commission-share legal structure challenged in a US state | Med | High | Structure as services fee paid by FMO. Attorney review before deal #2. |
| Attribution disputes with FMOs on campaign-sourced sales | High | Med | Exclusive campaign lists + CRM tagging + 90-day window + monthly reconciliation. |
| Delivery hours per agent exceed 2-hour assumption | Med | High | Track from day 1. Automate aggressively in n8n. Pause signings if curve doesn't bend. |
| Kevin burnout — 30 hrs/wk sustained | Med | High | Hire CS lead by month 7 regardless. Enforce pilot-then-handoff to Mitch after month 3. |
| Pilot-to-paid conversion below 60% | Med | High | Harder qualification at pilot entry. Paid pilots only (except 2 lighthouse). |
| Competitor CRM bundles cross-sell AI (AgencyBloc, Radius) | Med | High | Moat via proprietary playbook library + cross-FMO benchmarks + first-mover speed. |
| Founder-dependency on demos / closing | High | Med | Record every demo. Build playbook. Train CS hire to demo by month 9. |
