▸ Pipeline insight
Owl profiles show well-qualified deals with strong engagement metrics, but slower progression. Deals may stall in mid-to-late stages as the Owl waits for the buyer to be 'ready' rather than creating urgency.
Objections you'll hit in Enterprise Technology
"We're consolidating, not adding new vendors this year"
"We need this to integrate natively with Salesforce / ServiceNow / SAP first"
Enterprise IT deals typically run 6–12 months, with architecture review and TCO modelling as the two longest gates.
