A value proposition deck for career centres, workforce boards and veteran programmes
16 slides · Audience: Career centre leadership, deans, provosts, grant and workforce funding teams
Every student who wants a sales career, interview-ready before they graduate.
Open with the outcome you're there to discuss, not the product. We're here to talk about one thing: how many of your graduates walk into a sales role prepared — and how you would know.
Students get one appointment. They need repeated practice.
Ask before you assert: 'How many students does each advisor here carry?' Then land the tension — the mandate is employment outcomes, but the resource is advice at scale.
Sales hires for aptitude, not major — and it is hiring now.
For a first-generation, veteran or non-business population, this is the argument that lands: sales is a field where the conversation is the credential.
Frame this as multiplying the advisor, never replacing them. Advisors are your scarce resource — this is what they reach for when a student says 'I want to go into sales and I don't know where to start.'
A sales-readiness and interview practice platform your students use directly.
One sentence: it is the practice layer between your advice and their interview.
Emphasise zero setup for the student: nothing to install, nothing to train, works on the phone already in their hand.
Do not read this list. Pick the two that answer what you heard in discovery, and say the rest is there when they need it.
Your cohort dashboard, live, with no reporting effort from your staff.
This is the slide that converts the advisor in the room — show the dashboard live if you can. Participation is the number that proves the partnership is working.
A co-branded outcomes brief, generated from real activity.
You already have to produce this document. We would rather generate it from real activity than from a survey sent at the worst possible time of year.
Sample figures — replace with a real partner's outcome brief, or this cohort's own numbers, before presenting.
Illustrative results from one partner cohort over a single term.
These are sample figures, not a result we have delivered. Use them to show the shape of the reporting, then replace them with a real partner's outcome brief the moment you have one — a real brief carries the institution's own name, which is far more persuasive than our sample.
This slide earns credibility. Most vendors in this space overclaim placement attribution. Say plainly that you do not, and why — the honesty is what makes the rest of the report usable in a grant file.
Name the reviewers before they name themselves: 'This is usually the point where IT, legal and accessibility get involved. Here is what they will ask, and here are the answers.'
The point of this slide is the absence of a committee, an integration project and a procurement cliff. If your institution needs a form filled in, we fill it in.
Sample pricing — update every highlighted figure with your real numbers before sending or presenting this deck.
Replace every highlighted figure with your real pricing before you present — they are placeholders, not a quote. Then repeat the two facts that matter most to a budget holder: it is invoiced against a purchase order, and no student ever pays or enters a card.
The smallest possible yes: one cohort, one term, one report.
Close on the small commitment, not a system-wide rollout. Everything after this decision is implementation, not persuasion.
No. It multiplies them. Advisors keep the relationship and the judgement; MissionReady supplies the repetition there is no time to give.
Reports are aggregate only, no individual student is identifiable, the retention and deletion policy is published, and students can delete their own data at any time.
There is nothing to integrate. You give us an email domain and a roster file; students join themselves and are linked automatically.
Participation is the first number we report. If activation is low, that is a conversation in week two, not month twelve — and we help with the launch.
It is a per-term or annual sponsored seat cost, invoiced against your purchase order, and it arrives with the reporting your accreditation or grant cycle already requires.
Keep this slide out of the main run and jump to it only if the questions come up — but read it before every meeting so you answer from memory.
