Growth Engine Sprint — standardised B2B sales playbook

proposed feature Priority: high Project: nimsforest2 Reporter: cederik 26 Mar 2026 16:12

Description

## Context

From the Salix intake meeting (2026-03-26), a repeatable B2B sales formula emerged. We call it the **Growth Engine Sprint**.

## The Formula

Every SME (€500K-€5M revenue) spending on digital marketing has fragmented data across Meta, Google, CRM, website. Nobody has the full picture. NimsForest coordinates all channels toward one goal.

## The Two-Sided Approach

### Side 1: NimsForest's own Nectar runs the sales flow
- Prospect intake becomes an artefact inside our own organisation
- Nectar produces the business case paper as output
- Every prospect goes through the same flow, forest gets smarter at selling
- Sales playbook lives in Organise under customer-value-chain/sales/processes/

### Side 2: Pre-seed a forest for the prospect BEFORE they sign
- Instead of sending a document, send a link: prospect.mynimsforest.com
- Organisation already mapped, nims already thinking about their challenge
- Placeholder connections ready to plug in
- The pre-seeded forest IS the business case

## The Offer — €5,000

| Component | Detail |
|-----------|--------|
| Annual NimsForest license | Platform, nims 24/7, ceremonies, overnight self-learning |
| 4-week sprint | Connect data sources, configure nims, front-loaded consultancy |
| Pre-seeded forest | Organisation mapped, nims introduced, ready to connect |

After sprint: ongoing annual license (€990/year or €99/month).

## The 4-Week Sprint

- **Week 1**: Connect data sources (read mode), map humans to nims
- **Week 2**: Nudge analyses personas, campaigns, content, cross-channel patterns
- **Week 3**: Actionable recommendations — content strategy, targeting, consultant briefs, budget allocation
- **Week 4**: Autonomise — ceremonies running, nims self-learning, handover

## Deliverables for the customer

1. Better content strategy — which messaging drives qualified leads
2. Better personas — data-driven from actual CRM + ad data
3. Consultant alignment briefs — concrete instructions for their Meta/Google/content consultants
4. Campaign optimisation — seasonality, channel mix, budget allocation
5. Ongoing autonomous coordination — the forest keeps learning

## Expansion playbook

1. Read → Write (sprint 2: create campaigns directly)
2. Marketing → Operations (room management, booking, etc.)
3. Internal → External (sell to their agencies)
4. Scale (more locations, more budget)

## Content to create in Organise

- growth-engine-sprint-playbook.md
- prospect-intake-template.md
- Per-prospect intake documents

Grooming: set priority to high

Nebula's reasoning: This defines the repeatable sales methodology that the Salix POC (#78) is the first instance of. High priority because it needs to be formalised alongside the POC to ensure the approach is scalable from day one. Not critical because the methodology can be documented in parallel — the connectors and POC delivery are more time-sensitive.
