This playbook maps Elevāt's ideal customer profile across account, prospect, and persona dimensions, then lays out 5 signal-based outbound plays. Each play fires on a specific buying signal so your outreach lands the moment a prospect is most likely to act.
| Dimension | Qualified | Prioritization |
|---|---|---|
| Geography | North America primary, Western Europe secondary, Australia/NZ tertiary | Tier 1: US and Canada OEM headquarters; Tier 2: European OEMs with US dealer networks |
| Employee Count | 50 to 5,000 employees; sweet spot is 100 to 1,500 | Prioritize 150 to 800 employees where service org exists but digital transformation is mid-maturity |
| Industry / Vertical | Off-highway equipment OEMs: construction, agriculture, turf, material handling, utility, forestry, mining support | Tier 1: construction and ag equipment OEMs with dealer networks of 10 or more; Tier 2: specialty off-highway OEMs launching telematics programs |
| Key Qualifying Signal | OEM has 500 or more machines in the field with no unified telematics or service intelligence platform, or is running disconnected point tools (separate telematics, separate DMS, manual escalation) | Highest priority if OEM has active warranty cost problem or is launching a connected machine product line within 12 months |
| Tech Stack | Existing telematics gateway hardware (Geotab, Calamp, or proprietary CAN), dealer management system (CDK, Salesforce, or custom), no unified IoT service layer | Deprioritize if already contracted with a direct competitor platform; prioritize if tech stack is fragmented with no service intelligence layer |
| Revenue / Funding | OEM revenue $10M to $500M; or Series A and above if venture-backed hardware or equipment startup | Prioritize OEMs with aftermarket service revenue as a stated growth initiative or recent funding earmarked for digital |
| Intent Signals | Job postings for IoT engineer, telematics manager, or connected service director; attendance at CONEXPO, AEM, or Agritechnica; LinkedIn content about machine connectivity or MTTR reduction | Highest priority if two or more intent signals are present simultaneously |
| Dimension | Qualified | Prioritization |
|---|---|---|
| Seniority | Director to C-Suite for primary outreach; Manager level for technical champion | Prioritize VP and Director titles who own service P and L or product roadmap; engage Manager level as technical influencer |
| Primary Titles | VP of Service, Director of Connected Products, Director of Aftermarket, VP of Product (IoT or telematics), Chief Operating Officer | VP of Service and Director of Aftermarket are highest-intent; they own MTTR and warranty cost directly |
| Secondary Influencers | Director of Engineering (embedded or controls), IT Director, Dealer Network Manager, Head of Technical Support | Engage as multi-thread after primary contact responds; Dealer Network Manager is strong champion for Pro tier value prop |
| LinkedIn Keywords | telematics, connected equipment, off-highway IoT, machine data, remote diagnostics, CAN bus, dealer service network, MTTR, warranty reduction, predictive maintenance OEM | Flag profiles with three or more of these keywords in headline or about section as high-fit prospects |
| Persona | Level | KPIs | Related Challenges | Intent Signals | Related Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VP of Service / Aftermarket | VP | Warranty cost per unit, mean time to repair, first-time fix rate, dealer service revenue per machine | Escalations depend on senior techs, dealers have inconsistent diagnostic visibility, warranty claims are hard to dispute without machine data | Posting roles for service operations or connected service, speaking at AEM or dealer conferences, LinkedIn posts about field service complexity | Reduce MTTR with remote diagnostics, cut truck rolls by 40 percent, give dealers guided workflows that reduce escalation to OEM |
| Director of Connected Products / IoT | Director | Telematics platform adoption rate, data pipeline uptime, connected machine percentage of installed base | Building telematics from scratch is expensive, point tools do not talk to each other, dealer onboarding to new platforms is slow | Job postings for firmware or IoT engineer, GitHub activity on CAN or MQTT projects, attending IoT or embedded conferences | One platform from CAN data to service action, OTA support without custom dev, faster dealer onboarding with branded service portal |
| Director of Engineering (Controls or Embedded) | Director | Machine uptime, fault resolution cycle time, firmware release cadence, CAN signal coverage | Remote root-cause analysis requires physical access, fault code libraries are not surfaced to dealers or techs, OTA updates are risky without rollback | Publishing CAN or J1939 integration content, hiring embedded software engineers, evaluating telematics gateway vendors | CAN bus trace for remote root-cause analysis, OTA file transfer with controlled rollout, fault code context delivered to tech at point of service |
| Dealer Network Manager / Head of Dealer Operations | Director/Manager | Dealer service revenue, dealer technician productivity, parts attach rate, dealer NPS | Dealers operate with inconsistent tools, OEM knowledge does not reach the shop floor, parts ordering is reactive not predictive | Searching for dealer management software, attending dealer advisory councils, LinkedIn posts about technician retention or training | Shared service intelligence across dealer network, guided workflows that reduce dependency on experienced techs, branded dealer experience that strengthens OEM relationship |
| Chief Operating Officer | C-Suite | Overall service margin, aftermarket revenue as percent of total, machine lifecycle revenue, customer retention | Service is a growing revenue opportunity but hard to scale without digital infrastructure, connected service programs stall without cross-functional tooling | Board or investor decks mentioning aftermarket growth, press releases about digital transformation, hiring VP of Digital or VP of Service | ROI calculator shows $2M or more in net annual benefit per 500 machines, platform scales from foundational visibility to AI-led operations without ripping and replacing |
When an OEM signals internal telematics or service digitization investment through hiring, we reach out to the service and product leadership team before a build-vs-buy decision is locked. We position Elevat as the faster, lower-risk path to connected service versus internal development.
