For the mock cold call at the end of most SDR interviews.
What they sell, in one line

Who you'd be calling
CISOs, security directors and IT/security managers at mid-market and enterprise companies
Your opener
“Hi, this is [Name] from Sprocket Security. I know I'm interrupting. We help security teams test their defenses all year instead of once a year, and I wanted to ask how you handle pen testing today.”
Problems you solve for them
- Once-a-year pen tests miss new weaknesses
- Security teams struggle to prioritize and fix issues
- Customers and auditors ask for proof of regular testing
Discovery questions to ask
- How often do you run penetration tests today, and who does them?
- What happens after a test: how do you track and fix the findings?
- Do customers or auditors require regular testing from you?
Objections they'll throw at you
“I'm busy right now.”
→ Sure thing, I'll be fast. Can we find 15 minutes later this week?
“We're not interested.”
→ No worries. Are your annual tests giving you enough confidence between audits?
“We already have a pen testing vendor.”
→ Great, so testing matters to you. Do they test continuously or just once or twice a year?
“Send me an email.”
→ Happy to. Is this more for compliance, or to cut real risk, so I send the right details?
Competitors worth knowing
