Veracross role-play cheat sheet
For the mock cold call at the end of most SDR interviews.
What they sell, in one line
School management software that keeps student records, admissions, billing, and communication in one system for private K-12 schools.
Who you'd be calling
Heads of school, business officers, registrars, admissions directors, and IT leads at independent K-12 schools.
Your opener
“Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from Veracross. I know I'm calling unexpectedly. We work with independent schools to put student, billing, and admissions info in one place. How are you managing all that today?”
Problems you solve for them
- Student data spread across many disconnected systems
- Staff waste time on manual data entry and reports
- Parents get a confusing, inconsistent experience
Discovery questions to ask
- How many different systems does your school use for records, admissions, and billing?
- How much staff time goes to moving data between them?
- What do parents say about their experience with your portal and communication?
Objections they'll throw at you
“I'm busy right now.”
→ Of course, schools are busy. Could I call back at a quieter time, like after the school day ends?
“Not interested.”
→ I understand. Out of curiosity, is your current system doing everything your office needs?
“We already have a student information system.”
→ Got it. What do you like about it, and what takes more manual work than it should?
“Send me an email.”
→ Happy to. Who else on your team, like the business office or admissions, should I include so it's useful?

Interview tips for this company
- Learn school calendars: avoid calling in August/September or at year-end when staff are slammed.
- Understand independent schools are private and tuition-funded, so buying decisions often involve several leaders.
