SalesGuardGet free introductionsGet started

Every company on SalesGuard buys and sells, so sellers bring buyers.

SalesGuard is the B2B exchange where companies write down what they need to buy, and the seller that fits best is introduced first.

One account holds your Passport for what you sell and a GuardLink for each department that buys.

Applied through your GuardLink

Fits a need
Example: one company's account, with a buyer's yes to its Passport on the selling side and a vendor pitch that fits on the buying side, with made-up companies.

Every GuardLink brings in vendors, and they can join as sellers.

A vendor that pitches a GuardLink can join with a Passport, and its own company writes down needs for other sellers.A pitch that misses one buyer is introduced to another with the vendor's yes, and the first buyer's details stay private.

What Larkspur needs

Compliance software before a SOC 2 audit, by February

Example: a vendor's pitch that missed Acme's needs is introduced to Larkspur, whose need it fits, after both say yes, with made-up companies.

Each department buys on its own, so one company brings many needs.

Founders bring the whole company. Sales leaders bring IT, marketing and finance, each with its own GuardLink.

We suggest needs a department usually has, and its owner confirms them in one click before vendors see anything.

    Software companies at 50 to 80 staff often add this

Example: Acme's four departments, each with its own GuardLink, and finance confirming a suggested need, with made-up companies.

The exchange recommends what companies like yours usually buy next.

We learn what companies at your size and stage buy next, and recommend it when something changes at yours, like a new round or a new hire.

You confirm or dismiss each one in a click, and vendors see nothing until you confirm.

Sellers learn what buyers in their category keep asking for, so they know what to offer next.

Give a meeting, get a meeting.

Answer the vendors that fit your needs, and you go first whenever two sellers fit a buyer equally.Fit always decides first, and no plan or payment changes the order.

Example: Acme accepts a vendor that fits its own need, then goes first on Thornbury Care Homes' need, where Acme and Ledgerly fit equally, with made-up companies.

A category opens to more sellers only when more buyers are waiting.

Until it opens, new sellers in that category join and buy from day one, so the buyers there aren't split.

We also find buyers outside the exchange, so you get up to 4 introductions a month.

Sourcing

On

When the needs on the exchange fall short of your 4 introductions a month, we look outside it for companies that need what you sell, and they say yes before any introduction.

Example: confirmed needs in a seller's category this month, and a buyer found outside the exchange who said yes, with made-up companies.

Written rules keep every introduction worth a yes.

Every company agrees to the same rules, standing shows as facts beside fit, and a person decides every penalty.

Every decision can be appealed, and a person on our team checks every introduction to the first 1,000 companies.

What sellers and buyers ask about the network

  • Is SalesGuard a business warm introductions network?

    Yes, and every introduction in it starts with a need a buyer wrote down. Both sides say yes before anyone meets, so every introduction is warm.

  • Will a new seller in my category split my buyers?

    We open a category to more sellers only when more buyers there are waiting. Until then, sellers can join and buy from day one.

  • What do I get for inviting a company?

    The needs it brings can become your next introductions, and it gets a free GuardLink too. Inviting costs nothing.

  • Where do recommendations come from?

    From what companies at your size and stage buy next, never from one company's purchases, and no company is ever named. Each one stays private to your company until you confirm it.

  • Can a head of sales bring other departments?

    Yes. A head of sales names a need, the colleague who owns it confirms it in one click, and it goes on that department's GuardLink.

Join once, and your company sells and buys from one account.

Joining is free, buyers never pay, and sellers pay a referral fee only when a deal closes.

We open introductions category by category as buyers write down needs.

Create your GuardLink

Once you join, invite the companies you work with, and the needs they bring can become your next introductions.

Or book a call with Seun to talk it through.
