How to Introduce 1st90

Soft intro

"There's a platform we've been working with called 1st90 that helps prove behavior change is actually happening after a transformation launches — not just that people attended sessions. Would it be useful to see how it works?"

Stronger intro

"Given what you've described, I think you have exactly the gap 1st90 was built for — a named transformation mandate with no way to prove the behaviors are changing. I'd like to bring them into a conversation so you can see the data model directly."

Three-way call

"I'd like to set up a short three-way call with our team and 1st90. They can walk through how organizations like [similar company] proved behavior change in weeks, and you can decide if it's a fit from there. No obligation — just useful context."

Executive + frontline alignment

1st90 connects executive-level mandate to frontline execution, closing the visibility gap between the two.
