Company analysis

Understand the account before the conversation

Queast turns available company context into a concise IT sales brief: what appears to be changing, a useful discussion angle and likely entry points. Prepare an account conversation without rebuilding the analysis from separate records.

The company brief

Five angles on the account

The SPICED IT seller view appears on the company page when enough supporting context is available. It draws on company information, hiring analysis and available people and activity. The brief supports preparation; budget, buying authority and interest in outside help still need to be established in conversation.

Understand the SPICED framework
  • Current IT motion A summary of the IT work reflected in the available account context.
  • Lead with A suggested issue or discussion angle, grounded in what is known about the company.
  • IT impact How that issue could affect delivery, systems or operations.
  • Why now Timing clues that help explain why the topic is relevant to a conversation now.
  • IT entry points People or roles worth approaching, with the context behind their likely relevance.

Using the view

Get the short version, then open the detail

The analysis sits alongside the company profile, so you can move from account facts to a discussion angle in the same view.

  1. Start with Lead with

    The collapsed card brings the suggested discussion angle forward, giving you the main topic before you read the full brief.

  2. Expand Details

    Open the five-part view to connect that angle with the account’s IT work, possible impact, timing and entry points.

  3. Check the freshness label

    The label reflects the age of the latest available evidence, from fresh to stale, or unknown when no date is available. It helps you decide what timing context to confirm.

Illustrative example

A specific question for an infrastructure conversation

Consider an infrastructure staff-augmentation provider targeting logistics companies. Modernisation work is relevant to this seller because it can create a need for additional infrastructure capacity alongside ongoing operations.

Prepare a message
  • Company context A logistics company is recruiting infrastructure engineers, and the account context points to platform modernisation.
  • Discussion angle Explore how the team will cover transition work while maintaining day-to-day operations.
  • Question to take into the conversation “How are you covering infrastructure work during the transition while keeping operations running?”
