How to approach

Framing and angles for outreach

Pitch framing

Lead with the GTM problem: sales motion, pricing, pipeline conversion, enterprise expansion, or scaling from founder-led sales to a repeatable revenue engine. Andy appears especially relevant for B2B SaaS or AI-enabled enterprise founders who already have product pull and need help professionalizing revenue growth.

Personalization hooks

  1. 1Reference his Bill.com experience scaling revenue before IPO.
  2. 2Ask a specific question about pricing or sales organization design, both explicitly mentioned in WiL’s profile.
  3. 3Connect the pitch to Office of the CFO, GTM applications, or enterprise software only if directly relevant.
