customers' business to push their thinking and take
control of the sales conversation. They're not afraid to

assertive—with both their customers and bosses.

Hi, I'm ______________, with Mindfire Technology. You guys have a cool company. [Pause] This may not apply to you, but we've found that most software development
teams don't have the time or resources to keep up with their ever-growing backlog of projects, and much less, to finish all their projects on time.
Q - Do you have projects that are behind schedule or could use a different skill set?
[If NO]: Congratulations, you're one of the few. I need to learn your secret.
[If YES]: Join the club, it seems the business world is demanding more and more out of us.
At Mindfire Technology, we provide both the skill and human capital to companies on an outsourced basis, using local talent, to help them complete their software projects
quicker, and often cheaper, than what it would have cost them to do themselves.
A common use case is that you may have mostly back-end developers, but you need to rewrite your website…..or conversely, you may have mostly front-end developers, but
need some heavy lifting done on the backend of your application. We help fill those types of talent gaps. We also minimize common time constraints by providing resources in
a couple ways.
1. Through Outsourcing. Your company could outsource projects to us, which we would develop in-house.
2. Through Staff Augmentation. We could sit one or more of our developers in your office to work side by side with your team for a period of time, or
3. Through Recruiting or Contract-To-Hire.
Now you know what we do.
Q- Assuming price and quality were NOT an issue, would any of the services I mentioned be helpful to your team in any way?
[If NO:] That's fine, I totally understand. I'd like to send you a copy of our brochure for your reference. Is there an email you prefer I send this to?
[If YES:] We'd love to work with you more. I'd like to have one of our partners give you call, but before we hang up, could I ask a couple more questions?
Q - Do you guys use in-house OR outsourced software engineers?
[If in-house:] Lucky you! In-house is a great way to go.
[If outsourced:] That's great! Are you outsourcing locally or overseas?
[If locally:] Oh, really, that's great. Who do you work with locally?
[If overseas:] Nice. Which group? What's your experience been like?
