Conduct growth playbook

Diagnosis

Conduct has strong proof (Daimler Truck, Heidelberg Materials, Fraport, Rittal and DHL as early customers, partnerships with SAP, NTT DATA Business Solutions and BCG, a $60m Series A) and is hiring its first marketing team, a New York sales and deployment team, a regional director and a deal lead.

The website has not caught up: four of five case studies are template pages, the blog has been quiet since June, claims vary between pages, and there is no security page or German content. This playbook finishes the case studies and fixes the site first, then builds outbound, partner campaigns, a free readiness check and US proof.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Turn the famous customers and partners Conduct already has into finished, public proof that the new marketing and sales teams can use every day.

Biggest Risk

smartShift, Panaya and Basis Technologies already sell SAP code and change tools, and with demand outpacing capacity, slow deployments could cost referrals.

    Conduct's new Content Strategist will tell its story to Fortune 500 CIOs, and the Lead Brand Designer will make customer testimonial videos. The proof they need is already earned: Daimler Truck, Heidelberg Materials, Fraport and Rittal are named in the Series A post. But their case-study pages are still templates: every one lists the headquarters as London, every quote is from "John Doe", Fraport and Daimler Truck are both "Logistics", two share the same result line, and the Daimler Truck page shows "Lorem ipsum" paragraphs. Only Minol is finished, and the case-study index shows one card and two "More coming soon" tiles.

    Smallest test

    Fix the Daimler Truck page first: remove the placeholder text and publish its real result line.

    Why it works

    Take the four pages out of the sitemap today (or unpublish them) until they are ready. Then write each one in the Minol format: the SAP landscape, the problem, what Conduct did, one sourced number, and a named, approved quote. Put all five on the index, and use the same stories in sales decks, partner material and the first testimonial videos.

    Enterprise buyers check references before they take a meeting, and AEs say there is a "full pipeline" and too little time for outbound. Five real stories from household-name SAP customers do selling work, while template pages with placeholder text cost trust with exactly the readers who matter.

    Ready to use

    ChecklistCase study page check

    [ ] Headquarters and industry correct
    [ ] No placeholder text or "John Doe"

    [ ] Named quote approved by the customer

    [ ] One-page PDF for sales
    [ ] Listed in the sitemap only when finished

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Customers slow to approve

      Publish an anonymised version first, with the named one to follow.

    • Numbers differ by source

      Use one measured figure per story and say how it was measured.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteCase studies (checked twice on October 23, 2026): the sitemap lists five, but only Minol is a finished story. The Fraport, Rittal, Daimler Truck and Heidelberg Materials pages still show template content: each gives the headquarters as "London, UK", each attributes its quote to "John Doe", Fraport and Daimler Truck are both labelled "Logistics", Fraport and Heidelberg Materials show the same result line ("65% reduction in process variance"), and the Daimler Truck page shows "Lorem ipsum" placeholder paragraphs. The case-study index shows one card plus two "More coming soon…" tiles.Source

  • 02

    The demo form's company size stops at "5000-10000". Daimler Truck, Fraport and the other customers Conduct names are larger, as are the Fortune 500 CIOs the new hires will target. The biggest prospects must pick a wrong answer, and routing loses its best signal.

    Why it works

    Add "10,000-50,000" and "50,000+", route those leads straight to the Regional Director's team, and add an optional "Which SAP release?" field to prepare the first call.

    Accurate size routing gets the largest deals to senior sellers fast, and the release question saves a discovery step.

    Why it works

    Rewrite /dsag in German for DSAG members: Minol's story, an on-premise data handling note, a German demo slot and DSAG event dates, with its own title and description.

    A page in the visitor's language for their community converts better than a generic homepage, and it can rank for DSAG-related searches.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Translation tone

      Have a German-speaking colleague review.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteSitemap (25 URLs): no security, trust or data-handling page, no pricing or pilot page, one use-case page (S/4HANA migration), no German-language pages. /dsag (named after the German-speaking SAP user group) repeats the homepage with the same title and description.Source

    Smallest test

    Train ten partner consultants by hand.

    Why it works

    Turn the deployment playbook into a certification for partner consultants, with a sandbox, an exam and a partner directory. Certified partners run standard pilots.

    Partners scale delivery, and certification ties their people to Conduct.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Quality varies

      Require a supervised first deployment.

    Evidence

    • HiringDeployment Strategists (NYC, posted October 1, 2026; graduate role in London, posted October 4): "join strategic accounts early, run the technical deployment hands-on, and fully take over post-sale", "onboard hundreds of end users, surface expansion signals", and build "onboarding flows, tooling, reusable playbooks" so "customer capacity compounds without headcount scaling linearly".Source
    • HiringDeal Lead (NYC or London, posted October 19, 2026): "Our deals are large, enterprise and increasingly bespoke"; owns procurement negotiations and "the pricing models behind our offers, including ramps and multi-year structures". Every post says "demand is outpacing what we can service". A Founding Operations Associate (NYC, posted October 14) will "Run events that put Conduct on the map" because "We've just opened our New York office".Source
    • Your websiteBlog: seven dated posts, the newest the Series A on June 17, 2026, so nothing new in four months. Partnership posts: named an SAP strategic AI partner for SAP Cloud ERP transformation and "on track to become an SAP Endorsed App listed on the SAP Store" (May 12); a global partnership with NTT DATA Business Solutions across the UK, Germany, the US, Brazil and Singapore (May 11); a BCG partnership whose pilot produced "initial process designs up to ten times faster" (May 5).Source

    Most of Conduct's customers are German SAP users, the NTT DATA partnership covers Germany, and the site is English only.

    Why it works

    Translate the core pages (home, S/4HANA, case studies, security, demo), add German-language demos and a German events calendar.

    German IT leaders and works councils expect German material, and local pages win local search.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Pages fall out of date

      Translate only core pages first.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteSitemap (25 URLs): no security, trust or data-handling page, no pricing or pilot page, one use-case page (S/4HANA migration), no German-language pages. /dsag (named after the German-speaking SAP user group) repeats the homepage with the same title and description.Source

    Publish one post this month.

    Why it works

    Publish one engineering post a month, share it to Hacker News, X and LinkedIn, and link each to open roles and the product.

    Engineering writing attracts both hires and technical buyers who trust builders.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Engineer time taken from product

      Keep posts short.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteAbout page: team from "Palantir, G-Research, Legora, Sana and Sequoia"; engineering blog posts such as "Keep your voice down around the agents" and "Kenough with local agents" (featured on Hacker News); newsletter signup in the footer.Source

    Why it works

    Turn it into a clickable tour with sample data: ask a question, see the code map, see the process diagram. Put it on the homepage and use it in outbound.

    Buyers who try the product feel before a demo book more confidently.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Shows too little

      End with a demo offer.

    Evidence

    Why it works

    Prepare the listing now: a clear description, the finished case studies, the security page, screenshots of the product, a standard pilot offer and a contact path. Announce it to customers and partners when it goes live.

    Buyers who find Conduct inside SAP's own store arrive with trust already in place.

How Programmable can help

Where an idea in this playbook is something Programmable builds or runs, it's listed here with what we'd do. Everything else is yours to run.

ProgrammableInfo

Turn the research into a list you can act on

These ideas start with finding the right companies. Info finds them and the right person at each, researches every one and drafts the outreach, then asks before it sends.

  • Build this list in Info for idea #8 (opens programmable.info in a new tab)
  • Build this list in Info for idea #17 (opens programmable.info in a new tab)

New accounts: 100,000 free credits with code BETA100K

Find the companies (opens programmable.info in a new tab)
ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)
ProgrammableDigital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

30/60/90 roadmap

What to focus on in each month, and the ideas that carry it.

  1. Days 1 to 306 ideas

    Finish the case studies, fix the demo form, the DSAG page, the blog, one proof sheet and the 48-hour page.

  2. Days 31 to 6012 ideas

    US proof, outbound on migration signals, partner campaigns, readiness check, videos, security page, meetups, waitlists and a standard pilot; engineering posts, the product tour and the SAP Store listing.

  3. Days 61 to 903 ideas

    Commit to the custom-code report, partner certification and a German site.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value understanding decades of custom code quickly. The most cited problem: slow, costly S/4HANA migrations.

  • Knowledge no longer locked in a few experts
  • Changes that take months
  • In their words: “custom objects”

Market

Competitive landscape

3 competitors compared: smartShift, Panaya and Basis Technologies.

  • Gap to exploit: Public data on SAP custom code
  • smartShift: Narrower than day-to-day operations
  • Panaya: Less system-understanding focus

Hiring signals

Conduct is building its first marketing team and a New York base.

  • Content Strategist: First marketing and comms hire; story, events, community. Ideas 1, 3, 4, 5, 13, 19.
  • Lead Brand Designer: Rebrand and customer testimonial videos. Ideas 1, 11, 20.
  • Enterprise Account Executive (NYC): Partner-led pipeline, too little outbound. Ideas 7, 8.
