Blueprint Playbook for Epicor

Who the Hell is Jordan Crawford?

Founder of Blueprint. I help companies stop sending emails nobody wants to read.

The problem with outbound isn't the message. It's the list. When you know WHO to target and WHY they need you right now, the message writes itself.

I built this system using government databases, public records, and 25 million job posts to find pain signals most companies miss. Predictable Revenue is dead. Data-driven intelligence is what works now.

The Old Way (What Everyone Does)

Your GTM team is buying lists from ZoomInfo, adding "personalization" like mentioning a LinkedIn post, then blasting generic messages about features. Here's what it actually looks like:

The Typical Epicor SDR Email:

Subject: Transform Your Manufacturing Operations Hi [First Name], I noticed your company is growing and wanted to reach out about Epicor ERP. We help mid-market manufacturers like you gain real-time visibility across operations, improve supply chain efficiency, and accelerate financial close cycles. Would you be open to a 15-minute call to discuss how Epicor can help streamline your processes? Best, Sales Rep

Why this fails: The prospect is an expert. They've seen this template 1,000 times. There's zero indication you understand their specific situation. Delete.

The New Way: Intelligence-Driven GTM

Blueprint flips the approach. Instead of interrupting prospects with pitches, you deliver insights so valuable they'd pay consulting fees to receive them.

1. Hard Data Over Soft Signals

Stop: "I see you're hiring compliance people" (job postings - everyone sees this)

Start: "Your facility had 3 repeat noncompliance items in the past 18 months per USDA FSIS inspection records" (government database with exact counts)

2. Mirror Situations, Don't Pitch Solutions

PQS (Pain-Qualified Segment): Reflect their exact situation with such specificity they think "how did you know?" Use government data with dates, record numbers, facility addresses.

PVP (Permissionless Value Proposition): Deliver immediate value they can use today - analysis already done, deadlines already pulled, patterns already identified - whether they buy or not.

Epicor Intelligence Plays

These messages are ordered by quality score. The best plays come first, regardless of whether they use public data, internal data, or both.

Chemical Manufacturers with EPA RCRA Violations + Worker Safety Incidents: Root Cause Pattern Analysis

What's the play?

Map the prospect's specific RCRA violations and OSHA incidents from government databases to identify common process breakdowns. Deliver a root cause analysis showing which incidents trace to the same handling procedure gap.

Why this works

You analyzed THEIR specific incidents and found patterns they're too busy fighting fires to see. The common root cause insight helps them fix the real problem instead of treating symptoms. This is consulting-grade value delivered for free.

Data Sources
  1. EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Database (ENVIROMAPPER) - facility_name, waste_types, violations, inspection_history
  2. OSHA Inspection Records - establishment_name, violation_type, inspection_date

The message:

Subject: Incident root cause pattern at your facility I mapped your 2 RCRA violations and 3 OSHA incidents from March-October to find common process breakdowns. The analysis shows 4 of 5 incidents trace to the same handling procedure gap. Want the root cause breakdown?
PVP Public Data Strong (8.9/10)

Aerospace PMA Holders with Concurrent FAA + OSHA Violations: FAA Cross-Reference Protocol

What's the play?

Alert PMA-certified aerospace manufacturers with upcoming FAA surveillance audits that FAA auditors cross-reference OSHA records during quality system reviews. Provide the cross-reference protocol showing which OSHA categories trigger additional FAA scrutiny.

Why this works

The cross-reference protocol is non-obvious intelligence most quality managers don't know. This helps them prepare for what FAA will actually ask about, not just what's in the audit checklist. Genuinely useful whether they buy or not.

Data Sources
  1. FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) Database - manufacturer_name, pma_number, approval_date
  2. OSHA Inspection Records - establishment_name, violation_count, violation_type, inspection_date

The message:

Subject: FAA auditors will see your OSHA violation Your Q1 2025 FAA surveillance happens while you have an open OSHA serious violation - I pulled the cross-reference protocol FAA uses during quality audits. It shows which OSHA categories trigger FAA quality system scrutiny. Should I send it?
PVP Public + Internal Strong (8.8/10)

Aerospace PMA Holders with Concurrent FAA + OSHA Violations: Dual-Track Corrective Action Timeline

What's the play?

Build a dual-track closure timeline for aerospace manufacturers with open FAA and OSHA cases, showing dependencies between quality system fixes and safety abatements. Highlight which corrective actions satisfy both agencies and which need separate documentation.

Why this works

The dependency mapping saves massive time - they're doing this manually. Showing which fixes satisfy both agencies simultaneously is high-value efficiency insight. Helps them even if they never buy your ERP.

Data Sources
  1. FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) Database - manufacturer_name, pma_number
  2. OSHA Inspection Records - establishment_name, violation_type, abatement_date
  3. Internal: Mapped FAA quality system requirements to OSHA safety management practices

The message:

Subject: Corrective action timeline for dual violations Your facility has open FAA and OSHA cases - I built a dual-track closure timeline showing dependencies between the quality system fixes and safety abatements. It highlights which corrective actions satisfy both agencies and which need separate documentation. Want the timeline?
DATA REQUIREMENT

This play requires mapped FAA quality system requirements to OSHA safety management practices showing overlapping corrective action opportunities.

This synthesis requires domain expertise in both regulatory frameworks - unique competitive advantage.
PVP Public Data Strong (8.7/10)

USDA Meat/Poultry Plants with Repeat Noncompliance + Rapid Hiring: FSIS Violation Pattern Report

What's the play?

Analyze 18 months of the facility's USDA inspection data and map the 3 repeat items to seasonal hiring spikes. Show which violations correlate with which onboarding periods.

Why this works

You analyzed THEIR specific data over time - the seasonal correlation is non-obvious insight they haven't connected. Immediately actionable for planning future hiring and training. Genuinely helps them understand their patterns.

Data Sources
  1. USDA FSIS Inspection Data - establishment_number, noncompliance_records, violations, inspection_frequency
  2. LinkedIn Company Data - employee_count, recent_hires

The message:

Subject: FSIS violation pattern report for your plant I analyzed 18 months of your facility's USDA inspection data and mapped the 3 repeat items to seasonal hiring spikes. The report shows which violations correlate with which onboarding periods. Should I email the breakdown?
PVP Public + Internal Strong (8.6/10)

USDA Meat/Poultry Plants with Repeat Noncompliance + Rapid Hiring: Training Gap Analysis Template

What's the play?

Deliver a training gap analysis template specific to meat/poultry operations that maps FSIS violation categories to onboarding checkpoints and tracks per-shift documentation.

Why this works

The template is specific to their exact situation with real numbers (47 hires, 3 violations). The per-shift tracking addresses their actual pain point. Immediately useful even if they don't buy - low commitment ask with high value.

Data Sources
  1. USDA FSIS Inspection Data - establishment_number, noncompliance_records, violations
  2. LinkedIn Company Data - recent_hires, employee_count
  3. Internal: Template mapping FSIS violation categories to onboarding checkpoints

The message:

Subject: Training tracker for your 47 new hires You added 47 employees since Q2 and have 3 repeat USDA noncompliance items - I built a training gap analysis template specific to meat/poultry operations. It maps FSIS violation categories to onboarding checkpoints and tracks per-shift documentation. Want me to send the template?
DATA REQUIREMENT

This play requires an industry-specific compliance template based on common FSIS violation patterns and onboarding best practices.

Template can be created once and used for all USDA meat/poultry plant prospects - scalable competitive advantage.
PVP Public + Internal Strong (8.5/10)

Chemical Manufacturers with EPA RCRA Violations + Worker Safety Incidents: Joint Inspection Prep Guide

What's the play?

Deliver a prep checklist for coordinated EPA-OSHA inspections showing which documentation both agencies request and where current violations overlap.

Why this works

The coordinated inspection threat is real and scary. The overlap documentation point saves time by showing what satisfies both agencies. Helps them prepare regardless of purchase.

Data Sources
  1. EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Database - facility_name, violations, compliance_status
  2. OSHA Inspection Records - establishment_name, violation_count, violation_type
  3. Internal: Mapped EPA RCRA requirements to OSHA process safety management overlaps

The message:

Subject: Joint EPA-OSHA inspection prep guide With 2 RCRA violations and 3 safety incidents in 8 months, you're likely on both agencies' watch lists - I built a prep checklist for coordinated inspections. It shows which documentation both agencies request and where your current violations overlap. Should I send the checklist?
DATA REQUIREMENT

This play requires mapped EPA RCRA requirements to OSHA process safety management showing documentation overlap and joint inspection protocols.

Domain expertise synthesis that competitors cannot easily replicate.

Aerospace PMA Holders with Concurrent FAA + OSHA Violations: FAA Part 21 Audit During Open OSHA Case

What's the play?

Target PMA-certified manufacturers with scheduled FAA surveillance audits occurring while they have open OSHA serious violations. FAA auditors cross-reference OSHA records during quality system reviews.

Why this works

The specific audit timing and violation status with the cross-reference insight creates timeline pressure. The question helps them prioritize what to close first. Valuable scheduling insight they didn't know.

Data Sources
  1. FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) Database - manufacturer_name, pma_number, approval_date
  2. OSHA Inspection Records - establishment_name, violation_count, violation_type, inspection_date

The message:

Subject: Your FAA Part 21 audit due during open OSHA case Your next FAA surveillance audit is scheduled for Q1 2025 while you have 1 open OSHA serious violation. FAA auditors cross-reference OSHA records during quality system reviews. Is the OSHA abatement complete before February?
PQS Public Data Strong (8.3/10)

Aerospace PMA Holders with Concurrent FAA + OSHA Violations: Dual Regulatory Exposure

What's the play?

Target PMA-certified aerospace manufacturers with both open FAA nonconformances and OSHA serious violations within the same timeframe. Dual regulatory exposure triggers cross-agency scrutiny.

Why this works

Specific violation counts and dates for both agencies. The cross-agency scrutiny point is non-obvious and concerning. Simple routing question. All verifiable in public databases. Dual exposure is a real operational headache.

Data Sources
  1. FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) Database - manufacturer_name, pma_number
  2. OSHA Inspection Records - establishment_name, violation_count, violation_type, inspection_date

The message:

Subject: FAA + OSHA citations both open at your facility Your PMA facility has 2 open FAA nonconformances from August and 1 OSHA serious violation from September. Dual regulatory exposure often triggers cross-agency scrutiny during next inspection cycle. Who's managing the parallel corrective action plans?
PQS Public Data Strong (8.2/10)

Chemical Manufacturers with EPA RCRA Violations + Worker Safety Incidents: Incident Density Triggering Management Practice Audits

What's the play?

Target chemical manufacturers with 2+ RCRA hazardous waste violations and 3+ OSHA recordable incidents within 8 months. This incident density triggers EPA management practice audits beyond waste handling.

Why this works

Specific counts and timeframe for both agencies. The "management practice audit" escalation is concerning. Integrated EHS question suggests you understand their challenge. All verifiable. The density observation is insightful.

Data Sources
  1. EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Database (ENVIROMAPPER) - facility_name, waste_types, violations, inspection_history
  2. OSHA Inspection Records - establishment_name, violation_count, violation_type, inspection_date

The message:

Subject: 2 EPA violations + 3 OSHA incidents in 8 months Your facility logged 2 RCRA hazardous waste violations and 3 OSHA recordable incidents between March and October 2024. That incident density often triggers EPA management practice audits beyond waste handling. Who's leading your integrated EHS compliance program?
PQS Public Data Strong (8.1/10)

USDA Meat/Poultry Plants with Repeat Noncompliance + Rapid Hiring Growth: Training Gaps Amplifying Violations

What's the play?

Target meat/poultry facilities with 3+ USDA noncompliance records in 18 months while simultaneously hiring 20%+ new employees. Training gaps during rapid scaling amplify food safety lapses.

Why this works

Specific to their facility with exact violation count. The hiring growth connection is insightful - they did scale fast. Easy routing question. Verifiable in FSIS database. Training gaps point is valid concern.

Data Sources
  1. USDA FSIS Inspection Data - establishment_number, noncompliance_records, violations, inspection_frequency
  2. LinkedIn Company Data - employee_count, recent_hires

The message:

Subject: 3 USDA noncompliance repeats at your plant Your facility had 3 repeat noncompliance items in the past 18 months per USDA FSIS inspection records. With 47 new hires added since Q2 2024, training gaps often amplify repeat violations. Who's handling your corrective action tracking?
PQS Public Data Okay (7.9/10)

USDA Meat/Poultry Plants with Repeat Noncompliance + Rapid Hiring Growth: Enhanced FSIS Oversight

What's the play?

Target facilities that added 20%+ employees while logging 3+ repeat noncompliance items. This pattern typically triggers enhanced FSIS oversight within 6 months.

Why this works

Specific numbers about their hiring and violations. Enhanced oversight threat is real. The multi-shift training question hits a real pain point. Slightly assumes causation but connection is reasonable.

Data Sources
  1. USDA FSIS Inspection Data - establishment_number, noncompliance_records, violations
  2. LinkedIn Company Data - employee_count, recent_hires

The message:

Subject: 47 new hires + repeat USDA violations You've added 47 employees since Q2 2024 while logging 3 repeat noncompliance items. That pattern typically triggers enhanced FSIS oversight within 6 months. Is someone coordinating training documentation across all shifts?
PQS Public Data Okay (7.8/10)

Chemical Manufacturers with EPA RCRA Violations + Worker Safety Incidents: Regulatory Cascade Risk

What's the play?

Target chemical facilities with both EPA environmental violations and OSHA safety citations within 180 days. EPA and OSHA increasingly share enforcement data - violations in one domain trigger enhanced scrutiny in the other.

Why this works

Specific timeframe and violation counts. The joint inspection threat is real and scary. Coordination question hits a common gap. Verifiable in public records. Maybe slightly fear-based but legitimate concern.

Data Sources
  1. EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Database - facility_name, violations, compliance_status
  2. OSHA Inspection Records - establishment_name, violation_count, violation_type, inspection_date

The message:

Subject: Your RCRA violations coincide with safety incidents Between March and October you had 2 RCRA violations and 3 worker safety incidents. EPA and OSHA increasingly share enforcement data - your next inspection could involve both agencies. Is one person coordinating responses to both regulators?

What Changes

Old way: Spray generic messages at job titles. Hope someone replies.

New way: Use public data to find companies in specific painful situations. Then mirror that situation back to them with evidence.

Why this works: When you lead with "Your facility has 2 open FAA nonconformances from August and 1 OSHA serious violation from September" instead of "I see you're hiring for compliance roles," you're not another sales email. You're the person who did the homework.

The messages above aren't templates. They're examples of what happens when you combine real data sources with specific situations. Your team can replicate this using the data recipes in each play.
