The target audience for our B2B SaaS offerings would be decision-makers and influencers within Roblox that are responsible for user education, security, content management, infrastructure, and community management. Based on their pain points and the nature of their operations, it is reasonable to assume that individuals in IT, Product Management, User Experience, and Community Management departments would be our main point of interest.
Our company would offer robust software solutions tailored to address the specific pain points of Roblox. These solutions would include:
The initial contact would be through LinkedIn or direct email contact with people who have decision-making power. The message will contain information about the company, the benefits of our services from a B2B perspective, and an invitation for a presentation or a call.
The presentation would outline our understanding of the challenges faced by Roblox. We would then discuss how our application address their pain points, with a demo included to demonstrate how our solutions work in practice. We will also outline the features of our products that make them unique and more suitable than other alternatives on the market.
A follow-up email thanking them for their time and offering further assistance, such as a more in-depth walk-through of our solutions, would be sent within a couple of days of the presentation. This would serve to maintain their interest, clarify any doubts, and move them closer to making a purchasing decision.
