SpyCloud role-play cheat sheet
For the mock cold call at the end of most SDR interviews.
What they sell, in one line
Sells data recovered from the darknet so security teams can stop account takeover, ransomware and fraud before it happens.
Who you'd be calling
CISOs, security operations and threat intel managers, and fraud leaders at mid-size and large companies
Your opener
“Hi [Name], this is [You] from SpyCloud. I know I'm calling out of the blue. Do you have 30 seconds to hear why I called? We help security teams find employee logins that criminals already have, so they can reset them before they get used. Is that something your team deals with?”
Problems you solve for them
- Employee logins and passwords leaked from breaches or malware get used to break in
- Account takeover and fraud hurt customers and cost money
- Investigating cybercrime takes too long without good data
Discovery questions to ask
- How do you find out today when an employee's password or session shows up in a breach?
- What happens on your team after an account takeover or a ransomware scare?
- Who owns fraud or account takeover, you or another team?
Objections they'll throw at you
“I'm busy right now.”
→ Totally fair, I'll be quick. I'm just trying to find out if leaked logins are on your radar. Could I grab 10 minutes on your calendar later this week?
“We're not interested.”
→ Understood, most people I call haven't thought about this until something happens. Can I ask how you handle stolen credentials today, so I know whether I should follow up?
“We already use a threat intel tool.”
→ That's great, and many of our customers do too. We usually add to it with data on stolen logins and infected devices. Would it be worth a quick look at what we'd find on your company's domain?
“Just send me an email.”
→ Happy to. So I send something useful and not generic, what's the biggest account security worry on your plate right now?

Interview tips for this company
- Learn the plain-English basics: breach, malware-infected device, phishing, account takeover, and why a leaked password is dangerous.
- Practice explaining 'darknet data' without jargon. Say 'stolen logins criminals trade online' instead.
- Expect a security-savvy buyer who is skeptical of vendors. Stay calm, be honest, and ask questions instead of overselling.
