🚨 Critical Reminders

1. AI is the ONLY differentiator

Lead every conversation with "15+ AI vs 0 AI"

2. Show, don't tell

Demo AI features live (3-second report cards = instant wow)

3. Quantify everything

Never say "saves time" — say "saves 400+ hours = R226K value"

4. Create urgency

"18-24 months until competitors have AI. Early adopter pricing: R800 vs R1,200 later"

5. Use the materials

Don't improvise. We've tested these materials with 100+ schools. Trust the process.


💎 The GTM Truth

You have the BEST product in the African market.

You have the BEST materials to sell it.

You have an 18-24 month monopoly on AI.

The only thing standing between you and crushing quota is execution.

Use these materials. Follow the process. Close schools.

Let's dominate.
