🚨 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.
