Product: What is your solution/offer stack?
Process: What is your unique process for delivering your solution? Consider branding it with an original name to distinguish it from other similar processes.
Projection: How much time, how many leads, and how many sales do you need to achieve your goal?
Plan: What is your plan to achieve all of the above?

The Top Success Factors Example

Problem: Colorado regulation SB-181 requires continuous methane leak detection.
Prospect: Every oil and gas operator in Colorado and other states that are introducing similar regulations.
Product: Infrared and optical camera pairs, AI detection and software monitoring, and integration with SCADA systems.
Process: Design, setup, ongoing maintenance, and software monitoring.
Projection: If IoT Playbook only won business from 10% of the pads in colorado, it would still be roughly 4,300 pads.
Plan: Market to existing clients of Clean Connect because it is a sister company to an existing oil and gas automation company, partnering with the camera company, and leveraging the co-founder’s client relationships.
