The 4C Dealflow Method: turning complex ERP and data services into websites non-technical buyers say yes to

Our clients have shipped board-ready sites and sales assets that help win seven-figure deals — including work with teams overseeing £10bn+ AUR and 100+ builds across B2B tech, finance, and consulting. That’s the bar we hold ourselves to.

The 4C Dealflow Method for ERP & data firms (decision-stage websites)

The 4C method exists to build decision-stage websites that speak in plain English, show outcomes, and move committees forward. Not brochureware. Real buyer tools.

Why decision-stage websites matter

Because committees don’t read features. They compare risk, time, and proof.

Translating technical value for non-technical buyers

We take what’s complex and make it obvious for CFOs, COOs, and Directors — fast.

Clarify – ICP, triggers, proof for Microsoft/Unit4 partners

We start by mapping Ideal Client Profiles, trigger events, and proof you already have. This sets the message, the page plan, and the order of persuasion.

ICP mapping for Microsoft/Unit4 partners

Name sectors, firmographics, and pains in their language — not yours.

Trigger events your buyers recognise

Budget refresh, merger, license renewal, failed pilot, audit pressure. Make each trigger a page entry point.

Proof inventory for CFOs and Directors

Collect ROI stats, before/after screenshots, implementation timelines, and referenceable clients.

Craft – 20-second fold and conversion copy for ERP websites

Buyers judge you above the fold. We design a 20-second “fold” that states the outcome, removes doubt, and offers a low-risk next step.

Home page fold that sells outcomes

One claim, one metric, one next step. No fluff.

Proof beside CTAs best practice

Place a case stat, logo, quote, or security reassurance next to the button. Every click reduces risk.

RFP helper blocks that win shortlists

Add comparison tables, procurement notes, and security checklists where buyers would otherwise stall.

Convert – decision-stage pages for committee buying

Every core page must help a committee answer: value, risk, fit, and effort to switch. That’s it.

Product-to-outcome storytelling

Translate features to financial or operational outcomes a CFO can defend.

Pricing, ROI, and risk handled

State pricing logic, typical ranges, implementation windows, and support. Don’t hide it.

Demo-first pathways and safer steps

Offer a safer first step that captures intent early (self-selection, scorecards, guided demos).

Continue – compound proof and signal wiring for B2B sites

We keep adding proof and wiring analytics so the site improves weekly, not yearly.

Publish 2+ case pages per month

Short, metric-led, and mapped to each ICP. Proof compounds.

Analytics signals wired from day one

Track clicks on risk-reducing elements, shortlist downloads, and demo intent.

Sales enablement alignment

Turn winning page blocks into deck slides and proposal inserts.

Benefits to non-technical buyers (clarity, speed, certainty)

Non-technical buyers want certainty. We give them clarity in seconds and confidence in minutes.

Faster comprehension in 30 seconds

Our fold structure helps non-technical readers “get it” within half a minute.

Board-ready clarity in 45 days

Share your URL in a boardroom without caveats — we build for scrutiny, not just style.

Fewer but better-qualified leads

When you speak to the right ICP, you attract the right pipeline and cut no-hopers.

SEO for ERP websites and data firms (intent over impressions)

We optimise around the questions your buyers actually type — and the terms they use in meetings.

Keywords that match intent

Examples: “ERP implementation roadmap,” “Unit4 partner website,” “Microsoft data analytics consulting,” “RFP shortlist criteria,” “board-ready demo.”

On-page structure that answers objections

Mirror sales calls: outcome → evidence → how it works → risk → next step.

Actionable checklist – from complex to clear (run this in 30 days)

Here’s a simple programme your team can ship — no drama!

1. List your top 3 ICP segments and their trigger events.
2. Write one plain-English outcome line per ICP.
3. Rebuild your fold: outcome, metric, safe CTA.
4. Place proof next to every CTA.
5. Add a procurement/RFP helper block on product and security pages.
6. Publish 2 case summaries (200–300 words each) this month.
7. Add a calculator or selector that routes to the right demo.
8. Track clicks on shortlisting assets.
9. Trim 30 percent of jargon.
10. Replace feature lists with outcome bullets.

Copy frameworks for CFO-friendly pages (steal these)

We use lightweight patterns that sell without hype.

Pain → Claim → Proof → Prompt

Name the pain in their words → make one measurable claim → back it with a stat or case → prompt a safe action.

Outcome / Metric / Timeline

“Reduce month-end close from 10 days to 3 — in 90 days — with our Unit4 data automation layer.”

UX patterns that shorten sales cycles (conversion-focused design)

Design isn’t decoration. It’s sales enablement.

Lazy tabs vs scannable blocks

Swap deep tabs for scannable blocks with anchors. Faster to compare. Easier to screenshot.

Microcopy that reduces anxiety

Add short hints under forms: expected response times, data handling, and next steps.

Webflow for B2B ERP websites (speed, control, scalability)

We build in Webflow so your team can edit, ship, and iterate without dev handoffs.

CMS for case studies and sectors

Create CMS collections for sectors, use cases, and proof. Non-technical editors can publish quickly.

A/B testing and analytics basics

Test fold lines, button copy, and proof placements. Keep the winners, bin the rest.

Stakeholder alignment across sales, product, and marketing (one owner)

One senior partner leads from kickoff to go-live, so nothing gets lost in handoffs. You’ll feel it.

Keep one owner from kickoff to go-live

Single thread of accountability. Faster decisions. Better outcomes.

Loom walkthroughs and handover

We leave you with clear videos and docs so your team’s in control from day one.

Risks to avoid in technical-to-business translation (common pitfalls)

A few small mistakes can cost a shortlist.

Jargon, acronyms, and feature lists

Translate any acronym within the sentence. Tie features to a financial or operational gain.

Proof gaps and outdated cases

If a stat is pre-AI or pre-cloud in your sector, it’s dead. Update it or remove it.

Real results examples (credibility without bravado)

Outcomes beat adjectives. Keep them front and centre.

£10bn AUR credibility and what it means

Clients like The Summit operate at this scale; your site must be worthy of that room.

Conversion jumps and engagement lifts

We’ve seen conversion and engagement lift when teams swap jargon for outcomes and put proof beside CTAs — then keep publishing cases.
