New business research, before the first call
The prep that decides a pitch, done before you have booked the meeting.
*No Credit Card required
New business research usually gets done twice: quickly before the call, properly after the pitch is lost. A standing brief fixes the first version.
- Company Researcher — the company and market picture from the public record
- Meta Ads Library — the prospect's paid social creative, with competitors alongside
- Organization Analysis — structural health via the Cell framework, with prioritised interventions
- Jamal — customer journeys, media plans and nurturing, briefed free-form
How it runs
One company name in.
-
Name the prospect
A company and, if you have it, the brief. Company Researcher works from the name and the public record, so there is nothing to gather before you start.
-
Get the picture
Their market, their positioning, the campaigns they are running, and what their site is doing.
-
Find the gap
Visible gaps you can discuss on the first call.
For the new business lead
Qualify before you staff it
A Company Researcher run gives you the company and market picture before you decide the pitch is worth the team's week.
Their current ads, mapped
Meta Ads Library analysis shows the prospect's current paid social creative and messaging, with their competitors' next to it.
A reason to call
Website and campaign gaps give the first conversation a concrete opening instead of a capabilities deck.
For the strategy and pitch team
The gathering is already done
Company and market research arrives as a document, so strategy time goes into the answer rather than the collection.
An organisational angle
Organization Analysis diagnoses structural health with the Cell framework and returns prioritised interventions.
Journey thinking on tap
Jamal is Plan.Net's experience coworker: customer journeys, media plans, lead nurturing and search strategy.
What comes back
Company and market read
Where they sit, who they compete with, and what is moving in their category. Company Researcher covers the company, the market analysis and the strategic picture in one document.
Campaign audit
What they are running now across paid and organic, with their current Meta paid social creative and the messaging behind it read alongside their competitors'.
Website assessment
Copy, design, and traffic, with the specific weaknesses named. Named is the operative word: "the site underperforms" is not something you can open a call with.
Angles for the pitch
The two or three things worth leading with, drawn from the gaps rather than from your capabilities list. You still choose which one to use and how hard to push it.

The coworkers who lead it
Brief one of them and they own the workflow end to end.
The specialist agents they hire
Coworkers dispatch these as subagents mid-task — you can also run any of them directly.
Questions teams ask
How current is the research?+
It is gathered when the task runs, from live public sources such as the Meta Ads Library and the prospect’s own site, not from a stored database.
Will the prospect notice?+
The research reads public sources: their site, their ads, public coverage. Nothing contacts the prospect.
Can we research a whole list?+
Each prospect is its own task run, so a list means briefing several runs and reading the documents as they land.
What does it cost to run?+
An account is free. Each run costs credits, priced per task by the coworker that runs it.
What do we have to supply?+
A company name is the minimum. The brief, if you have one, and the URLs you want assessed make the output sharper. Nothing has to come from the prospect, and no account or data access is involved.
Does it work for private companies?+
It works from the public record, so a company that publishes little gives you a thinner document.
Is the document client-safe?+
It is internal prep. Everything in it comes from public sources and carries them, so nothing is confidential, but it is written to inform your thinking rather than to be forwarded to the prospect.
How much of it carries over to the next prospect?+
None of the research; each run is pointed at one company. What carries over is the way you brief it, and after the first few that is where the time goes. The document itself is specific to the name in the brief.
