ID.me role-play cheat sheet
For the mock cold call at the end of most SDR interviews.
What they sell, in one line
Digital identity verification that confirms real people online for businesses, government agencies and workforces.
Who you'd be calling
Security, fraud, IT and digital product leaders at enterprises and government agencies, plus HR or workforce leaders.
Your opener
“Hi [Name], this is [You] from ID.me. I know I'm calling out of the blue. We help organizations confirm that online users are who they say they are, and I wanted to ask how you handle identity checks today, if you have a minute?”
Problems you solve for them
- Fraudsters use fake or stolen identities to open accounts and claim benefits
- Slow, clunky identity checks make real customers give up
- Organizations need to verify employees and customers securely without extra work
Discovery questions to ask
- How do you verify people today when they sign up, apply or log in?
- How much fraud or fake account activity are you seeing, and how does that affect your team?
- How do real customers or employees feel about the current verification steps?
Objections they'll throw at you
“I'm busy right now.”
→ Of course, I'll keep it short. Would tomorrow or later this week work for a quick five-minute call?
“We're not interested.”
→ I appreciate you telling me. Is identity fraud not a big concern for you right now, or is verification already well covered?
“We already use something for this.”
→ That makes sense. What are you using today, and how does it do on stopping fraud while keeping the sign-up easy for real users?
“Just send me an email.”
→ Happy to. So it's relevant, are you more focused on fraud, customer sign-up, or workforce access? And can we plan a short follow-up next week?
