Wolters Kluwer role-play cheat sheet
For the mock cold call at the end of most SDR interviews.
What they sell, in one line
Software and information tools that help legal, finance and compliance teams do their work accurately and stay within the rules.
Who you'd be calling
General counsel, legal operations managers, compliance officers, controllers and CFOs at mid-size and large companies
Your opener
“Hi [Name], this is [You] with Wolters Kluwer. I know you didn't expect my call, so do you have a quick minute? I'm speaking with legal and finance leaders about how they keep up with compliance work without it eating their whole week.”
Problems you solve for them
- Keeping up with changing regulations and avoiding fines
- Legal and finance teams still do repetitive work by hand in spreadsheets and email
- Audits and reporting take too much time and carry risk of errors
Discovery questions to ask
- How does your team track regulation changes that affect the business?
- Which parts of legal or finance reporting are still done by hand?
- When an audit or deadline hits, what tends to cause the most stress?
Objections they'll throw at you
“I'm busy right now.”
→ No worries, my timing isn't great, I know. Would a short call at a time that works better be okay, or is there someone on your team who handles compliance tools?
“Not interested.”
→ Fair enough. Just so I understand, is it that compliance and reporting are under control, or that you're not looking at new tools this year?
“We already use something for that.”
→ Great, it sounds like you take this seriously. What do you use now, and is there anything you wish it did better, like automation or reporting?
“Just send me an email.”
→ Of course. So I send something that fits, are you more concerned with legal, finance or compliance work? And what's the best email for you?
