Signal-Based Plays

Outbound Play Breakdown

PLAY 01 · AUM Fee Pain Play

Signal-BasedTrigger: Company detected using an AUM-fee-based 401(k) provider (Guideline, Human Interest, Betterment at Work) via tech stack data or job posting mentioning current provider

What We Do

We identify small businesses actively paying percentage-based 401(k) fees and reach out with a direct cost comparison showing flat-fee savings. We target the Owner or CFO who controls the benefits budget.

PLAY 02 · New Hire Benefits Signal Play

Signal-BasedTrigger: Small business (2 to 100 employees) posts a job listing mentioning benefits package or 401(k) for the first time, indicating plan setup intent

What We Do

We catch small businesses at the moment they begin advertising benefits to attract talent, before they choose a provider. We target the Owner or HR lead to position Ubiquity as the obvious flat-fee choice.

PLAY 03 · Gusto Payroll User Play

Signal-BasedTrigger: Company identified as using Gusto payroll with no 401(k) provider detected, confirming a retirement plan gap with a natively integrated payroll stack

What We Do

We target Gusto payroll users who lack a 401(k), knowing Ubiquity integrates directly with Gusto. The native integration removes their biggest objection and makes switching cost near zero.

PLAY 04 · SECURE 2.0 Tax Credit Play

Signal-BasedTrigger: Company is 1 to 3 years old with 2 to 50 employees and no 401(k) detected, making them eligible for SECURE 2.0 startup tax credits of up to $15,000

What We Do

We identify newly formed small businesses that qualify for SECURE 2.0 federal tax credits but have not set up a retirement plan. The tax credit angle reframes cost as a government-subsidized benefit, dramatically lowering resistance.
