## Section 1 — Why Music Gen Selling Is Different (5 min)

Commercial licensing critical for content creators. Suno commercial leader; AIVA orchestral.

End with **Mark Roberge's** rule: *"Sell vocals + licensing + genre fit."*

Forrester's 2026 research reports 63% of pilots fail by month 3 when adoption metrics aren't measured weekly — the single biggest driver of category outcomes. For **AI Music Generation** specifically, this manifests as a buying-committee gap: the **Content Creator Lead** owns the budget, but the **executive sponsor** (typically a peer C-suite or VP) holds the renewal veto. Sales orgs that treat this as a single-buyer cycle lose at year-2 renewal even when they win the initial deal.

The category has a hierarchy of vendors with distinct positioning: **Suno** at $10-$30/month, **Udio** at $10-$30/month, **Stable Audio** at $10-$30/month, **Soundful**, each with sharply different pricing and feature curves. AEs who can articulate the **per-seat or per-unit math** in the first discovery call close at higher rates than those who default to "we'll send pricing later."

> **Manager script:** *"In AI Music Generation, the buyer doesn't shortlist on features. They shortlist on the metric that gets them fired if it slips. Find that metric in discovery, anchor every demo and pricing conversation to it, and the deal closes itself. Lead with anything else and you're in the long tail of evaluations."*

## Section 2 — The 60-Minute Discovery (15 min)

Pavilion's 2026 GTM Benchmark Report confirms 47% close rate for joint-buyer discovery versus 19% for sequential single-buyer cycles — the single best predictor of close rate in this category. Run the discovery call with the **Content Creator Lead** AND the economic buyer in the same room (or video frame). Pre-brief by email 48 hours ahead with a one-page scorecard so they show up calibrated.

The seven discovery questions above probe for fit on the dimensions vendors compete on: **Suno**, **Udio**, **Stable Audio**, **Soundful** all differentiate on different cuts of this space. Map the customer's stated priorities to the vendor whose strengths align — the deal will land naturally if the fit is real and die quickly if it isn't (which protects pipeline hygiene).

> **Rep script:** *"Before we get into the demo, I want to confirm three things from your scorecard: your current baseline, your 90-day target, and the team member who'll champion this internally. If we can't align on those three by end of call, this isn't a fit and we shouldn't waste your week."*
