System Build Overview Prepared for Jeff & Katie Hoffman June 2026

Turning WorkforceProof into a sales engine.

The platform, the proof, and the prospects are already here. This is the plan to put them to work — three audiences, one system, a first win on the board within weeks.

Contacts already in the CRM

HR leads ready to work

Audiences with pitch assets in hand

Where things stand today

A strong foundation that isn't working yet.

The hard part — the platform, the proof points, the contact base — is already built. What's missing is the engine that turns it into booked sessions and closed deals. Here's what's in place.

0
Contacts, sitting idle
A real audience already in the system — including ~450 HR leaders imported but never sequenced.
0
Executive retention
The C91-X proof point that anchors every pitch — a number competitors won't publish.
0
Pitch assets ready
Polished one-pagers for HR, Economic Development, Workforce Boards, and the LSP program.
The opportunity in one line: the assets are done and the audience is loaded — but nothing is reaching out, following up, or booking. We build the machine that does.
The strategy

Three audiences. One engine.

Each audience has a different fear and a different trigger — so each gets its own page, its own message, and its own sequence. All of it runs through a single system, so reporting stays clean and nothing falls through the cracks.

Audience 01 — Primary volume

HR & Talent Acquisition

"Most recruiting budgets are half-waste — you just can't prove which half to your CFO."

~450 leaders already in the CRM, never contacted
Budget pressure is the #1 enterprise priority in 2026
Warm list · build first
Audience 02 — Strategic

Economic Development

"You're about to lose a project you should win — because you can't prove workforce readiness."

Skilled-labor availability is the #1 site-selection factor
Higher-value deals, longer cycle — nurtured patiently
Long cycle · nurture track
Audience 03 — Time-sensitive

Workforce Boards

"Your Workforce Pell data gap is already a compliance problem."

Real federal deadline — July 1, 2026
550+ boards publicly ranked on outcomes they can't yet prove
Deadline-driven · lead with this

One CRM  ·  one pipeline  ·  three tailored funnels — so the numbers roll up, not apart.

The edge

Why this wins.

The competition is expensive and slow. WorkforceProof sits in the open lane: affordable, fast to stand up, and built to prove outcomes — not just promise them.

An open lane in the market

Every serious competitor is built for the enterprise budget. No one owns the affordable, fast, outcome-proof layer. That's the space to claim.

2

The HR pitch is on the money

With budgets frozen and CFOs scrutinizing every dollar, "prove which half is working" lands harder in 2026 than it ever has.

3

Proof the others can't match

91% executive retention and a real search arm turn a software demo into a credibility most platforms simply can't claim.

The roadmap

A first win on the board fast.

We lead with the deadline-driven audience for an early, visible result — while the groundwork for the bigger HR push runs quietly in parallel.

1
Weeks 1–2

Workforce Boards

Landing page + compressed outreach aimed at the July 1 deadline.

First win
2
Weeks 1–6 · parallel

Foundation

Segment the list and warm up sending so the HR push lands in inboxes, not spam.

3
Weeks 4–7

HR Engine

The ~450 leads get a multi-touch sequence and a booking funnel.

4
Weeks 6–9

Economic Dev

Strategic outreach plus a patient nurture track for longer cycles.

5
Ongoing

Tune & scale

Clean up the pipeline, calendars, and reporting; optimize what converts.

Why this order: the Workforce Pell deadline is real and close, so it earns an early win. The HR list is the biggest payoff - but sending to 450 cold contacts safely takes a few weeks of warm-up, so we start that clock now and run it alongside everything else.

What I need from you

A few decisions to start.

None of these are heavy lifts — most are one-line answers. Settling them lets me lock the messaging and start building. The full detail is in the companion note.

Numbers to lock

  • One industry-average retention figure to use everywhere
  • How we state the fee (standard vs. the state program)
  • Which client names are cleared to display

Setup & domains

  • The live WorkforceProof web address
  • What the LSP Credit Program is, exactly
  • Green light on a dedicated sending domain

What's already live

  • Which pipeline is the active sales pipeline
  • Any prior outreach to the HR list + preferred calendar
  • Whether Two Ladders runs any automation on their end

Answer these and we start building — Workforce Boards first, with the July 1 clock already running.
