Paragon growth playbook

Every Monday, pull job posts from the last 14 days that mention building integrations or named connectors. For each company, send the head of engineering a one-page estimate: the integrations named in the post, the in-house time and yearly upkeep using tl;dv's own numbers (about 4 weeks to build and a week a year to maintain each), against Paragon's time to production.

The trigger is public, fresh and specific, the estimate is about their roadmap rather than Paragon, and tl;dv's case study gives a credible benchmark. A hiring decision is the moment build-vs-buy is still open.

Subject: The {connectors} integrations in your {role} post

Hi {first name},

Your {role} opening mentions building {connectors}. Teams we work with estimated about 4 weeks to build each one in-house and a week a year to keep each one working, so {n} integrations is roughly {engineer-months} engineer-months before upkeep.

I put the estimate on one page (attached). tl;dv shipped Slack, Salesforce and HubSpot to production in under 3 weeks on Paragon and stopped maintaining them.

Worth 20 minutes to see {first connector} running in your product?

{name}
Account Executive, Paragon

Write two or three sentences for each of the six questions, including how Connected Users are counted and what drives the quote, and add an example: "A product with 200 customer orgs using 3 integrations."

Quote-only pricing already adds friction; empty answers look like hidden pricing. Clear answers let the AE spend demos on the product instead of the price model.

• Publishing the model invites price shopping

  Explain how the quote is built, not the price list.

Fix the broken "Workflow Builder Actions" link, add a content security policy and the missing headers on the marketing site, and recheck with Mozilla Observatory until it reaches A.

The AE sells to engineers who look under the hood. A clean security grade supports every SOC 2 and ISO 27001 claim on the page.

• A strict CSP breaks embeds

  Start in report-only mode for a week.

Add one proof line under each demo CTA and on the integration pages for Slack, Salesforce and HubSpot, linking to the case study. Ask two more customers (Copy.ai, CrewAI) for one number each.

CTOs buy on engineering time saved. A number from a named customer answers "will this save us time" before the demo.

Publish a page and docs section listing the skills and MCP setup, with a 10-minute "ask your agent to add a Salesforce integration with Paragon" walkthrough, and link it from the trial signup.

It shortens the path to a working first integration, which is what the AE and Solutions Engineering need before a deal moves, and it reaches engineers who never book a demo.

  A weekly test of the walkthrough in each agent.

Join each sponsorship's landing page traffic to demo requests, meetings and pipeline in the CRM, and report cost per meeting next to the AE's outbound cost per meeting.

With one AE and a meeting target, every channel should be judged on meetings. The scorecard tells marketing which sponsorships to repeat and which to drop.

• Sponsorship value is mostly brand

  Track 90-day influenced pipeline as well as direct meetings.

For the 20 most visited integration pages, add the specific use cases buyers build (sync contacts, ingest files for RAG, act through ActionKit), the time to production, and a booking link for a 20-minute demo of that integration.

A visitor on the Salesforce page has a specific job. A demo of that exact integration is a stronger first call for the AE than a general product tour.

• Solutions Engineering time is scarce

  Record the demos so the AE can run the first call alone.

Each quarter, meet each customer's product lead with their Connected Users trend, the integrations their competitors list, and the requests their users make, and agree the next two integrations to ship.

Expansion comes from more integrations and more connected users. Turning integrations into the customer's revenue (as tl;dv did) makes the next one easy to justify.

For qualified enterprise deals, Solutions Engineering builds a prototype of the prospect's three most requested integrations against a sandbox of their product before the visit, and the AE opens the meeting with it.

CTOs discount claims of "10x faster" and believe what they see. A working prototype shortens the technical evaluation the AE has to navigate.

Build a short technical brief on permission-aware ingestion, list AI products that advertise Google Drive, SharePoint or Box ingestion and name a unified API vendor in their docs or changelog, and send the brief from the AE with an offer of a permissions review.

It reaches buyers at the moment a real requirement (enterprise permissions) exposes a gap, which converts better than a generic comparison page.

Co-write a template and docs page with CrewAI showing an agent acting in Salesforce and Slack through ActionKit, with a joint webinar and a listing in CrewAI's integrations.

Framework docs are where agent builders choose their tools. A co-built template turns a customer into a channel and gives the AE a stream of qualified AI companies.

After each webinar, invite attendees to a 30-minute group office hour with Solutions Engineering, then offer a 1:1 review to those who bring a real architecture question; the AE follows up only with those.

A technical next step converts engineers who ignore sales follow-up, and the AE gets meetings with context.

For each customer category (AI writing, meeting notes, search, sales intelligence), list competitors and the integrations they advertise, and give the AE a ranked list with a "your competitors ship these integrations" angle.

The AE runs outbound with marketing from account lists. Category peers of happy customers convert best and the competitive angle is specific.

Publish a migration guide (what moves, auth token migration, a typical timeline) and offer a fixed-scope migration package through Enterprise professional services.

Switching cost is the main objection for teams already invested. A defined path turns "not now" into a scoped project the AE can sell.
