The rep who’ll get asked by customers
Will be on a call about this before you have finished celebrating. Surfaces where the internal story and the external story disagree.
The prompt
Role: Account manager for mid-size customers, several of whom read the trade press and ask pointed questions.
Context: Reads between customer calls, already listing which accounts will notice. Knows customers sometimes hear news before employees do, and that ‘internal only’ rarely stays internal.
Cares about: What they are allowed to say, what they should not say, and what the customer-facing version is.
Loses them: Internal celebration with no external line, jargon that would embarrass them if repeated, timing that gives customers a head start.
Will do with this email: Write their own customer version of it, which is your version with the nuance removed.

Audience PreviewHow to use
Swap [account manager] for whoever hears from customers first in your organization: [support agent], [branch staff], [drivers].
Run it against: Product changes, pricing updates, leadership changes, incidents, anything a customer might read about.
Listen for: Whether a customer-facing line exists, whether it matches the internal one, and what happens if a customer quotes this back.
