Warm segment scorecard · no cold blasting

Pick the buyer segment most likely to produce a real first-order signal.

The cold batch already proved broad local-business inboxes are weak. This scorecard keeps the next Task Agents growth move constrained: one warm path, one active buyer job, one measurable outcome.

Segment ranking

Score by active pain, buying authority, trust path, and first report fit.

Warm segmentScoreWhy it can convertFirst report to recommend
Local-service web / SEO / fractional marketing operator9/10Often has a prospect call, audit, proposal, or client fire due inside 14 days. A cheap pre-sales packet saves senior time immediately.Business Website Roast → Local SEO Gap Scan

Recommended next test

One warm ask to one operator who already sells marketing help.

Target

Web, SEO, or fractional marketing operator

Best if they can name one prospect/client whose site, Google presence, or offer page they need to audit this week.

Offer

$11 Website Roast first

Smallest credible paid signal. If they ask for map-pack proof, the next step is the $19 Local SEO Gap Scan.

Metric

Paid order or named blocker

Count only a paid starter order, sample/proof request, qualified named referral, forward confirmation, or exact objection in buyer language.

Draft-only manual copy

Use this only in an approved 1:1 warm channel.

Quick fit check: do you know one web/SEO/fractional marketing operator with a local-service prospect call or client audit due in the next two weeks? I’m testing the smallest paid wedge for Task Agents: an $11 website roast they can skim before a call, with a $19 local SEO scan only if they need map-pack evidence. Segment scorecard: https://tasks.irislabs.dev/partners/segment-scorecard/ — the useful reply is a named buyer, a paid test, a sample request, or the exact reason they would not trust it.
Decision rule

Do not expand channels until the top segment produces one green signal or one sharp blocker.

If the response is generic encouragement, score it red. If the response names a trust, source, client-readiness, turnaround, or use-case blocker, route it through the objection card before changing the offer.

Operating guardrail

No automated sending, posting, or cold-volume restart.

This is an approval-safe planning/proof asset. External outreach still requires Dimitri to choose the recipient and send manually.
