Financial Services

Write a cold email to a financial services executive that respects compliance concerns.

Context:
- Recipient: [NAME, TITLE at FINANCIAL INSTITUTION]
- Institution type: [BANK / CREDIT UNION / WEALTH MANAGEMENT / INSURANCE]
- Regulatory environment: [KEY REGULATIONS: SOX, FINRA, SEC, PCI-DSS, etc.]
- Signal: [WHAT TRIGGERED OUTREACH]
- My solution: [WHAT YOU SELL]
- Compliance benefit: [HOW YOU HELP WITH COMPLIANCE]

Financial Services Rules:
- Never make claims you can't prove
- Reference regulatory requirements by name
- Emphasize security, audit trails, compliance
- Mention relevant certifications (SOC 2, etc.)
- Respect their risk-averse culture
- No urgency tactics (they move slowly for good reasons)

The email should feel like it's from someone who understands their world.

Generate discovery questions for a financial services buyer.

Context:
- Prospect: [NAME, TITLE at INSTITUTION]
- Institution type: [TYPE]
- My product: [WHAT YOU SELL]
- Likely compliance concerns: [RELEVANT REGULATIONS]

Question categories:
1. Current vendor/process (who, what, how long)
2. Compliance requirements (audits, reporting, certifications)
3. Risk assessment (what could go wrong, what keeps them up at night)
4. Decision process (who else needs to approve, procurement, legal)
5. Security requirements (data handling, encryption, access controls)
6. Integration needs (existing systems, IT involvement)

For each question, note:
- Why this matters in financial services
- Red flags to listen for
- Follow-up questions

Help me respond to: "We need to run this by compliance first."

Context:
- My product: [WHAT YOU SELL]
- Their institution: [TYPE AND SIZE]
- Where we are in the deal: [STAGE]
- Certifications I have: [SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.]

This isn't an objection to overcome - it's a buying signal. Help me:
1. Embrace the compliance review process
2. Offer to participate in the review
3. Provide documentation proactively
4. Ask about their compliance review process
5. Identify who in compliance I should meet

The goal is to be seen as a compliance ally, not a vendor trying to skip due diligence.

Write an executive summary for a financial services proposal.

Deal context:
- Institution: [NAME]
- Type: [BANK / INSURANCE / WEALTH MGMT]
- Problem: [WHAT THEY'RE SOLVING]
- My solution: [YOUR PRODUCT]
- Key compliance requirements: [REGULATIONS]
- Risk factors of status quo: [CURRENT RISKS]

Financial services executive summaries need:
1. Risk reduction framing (not just benefits)
2. Compliance alignment (specific regulations)
3. Security posture (certifications, controls)
4. Implementation risk mitigation (phased rollout, training)
5. Reference customers in their sector
6. Total cost of ownership (they think long-term)

Tone: Conservative, thorough, trustworthy. No hype.

Write an email requesting a quarterly business review with a financial services client.

Context:

- Main contact: [NAME, TITLE]
- How long they've been a customer: [TENURE]
- Key wins this quarter: [RESULTS/METRICS]
- Upcoming audit or regulatory deadline: [IF ANY]
- Expansion opportunity: [IF ANY]

QBR request should:
1. Reference specific value delivered (metrics)
2. Tie to their regulatory calendar if relevant
3. Offer to include their compliance team
4. Propose agenda topics
5. Be respectful of their busy schedule

Financial services clients appreciate structure and documentation.
