Reduce Sales and Marketing Costs with Autonomous Solutions | Ambassador

When Clayton Christensen talked about Jobs to Be Done, he made a simple but profound point:

Customers don’t buy products. They “hire” them to do a job in their life or business.

The question for us at Ambassador wasn’t what features do we sell? It was:
What job are companies really hiring us to do?

The Job We’re Really Doing

When we stripped away the feature lists, the integrations, the channel capabilities, the answer was clear:

Companies hire Ambassador to turn customer engagement into a self-driving system—so they can grow without growing their team.

That “job” shows up in multiple forms:

• A CEO under budget pressure who needs growth without headcount expansion.
• A CMO tired of juggling multiple tools, agencies, and internal bottlenecks.
• A CSM leader who knows churn is preventable but doesn’t have the resources to stay ahead of it.

The Hidden Cost We Discovered

As we mapped those jobs, we noticed a pattern:
Every single one ties back to the same financial pain—the cost of Sales & Marketing, specifically customer engagement.

It’s one of the biggest line items in a company’s P&L. And it’s…

• Spread across bloated teams.
• Inflated by agency retainers.
• Duplicated in overlapping SaaS tools.
• Slowed down by manual execution.

It’s also one of the least scrutinized areas of spend—until budgets tighten.

From Job to North Star

Once we saw it, the positioning wrote itself:

We give companies control over the most overlooked line item in their P&L: customer engagement.
And we turn it from a manual, headcount-heavy expense into an autonomous growth engine.

That’s not just a tagline—it’s a decision filter for how we sell, how we onboard customers, and how we build the product.

How This Shapes the Sale

Our sales motion now follows a Land → Expand → Transform path:

1. Land: Start with one high-impact growth lever (referral, loyalty, incentives, or targeted automation) tied to a measurable KPI.
2. Expand: Layer in more triggers, more channels, and Hiro AI orchestration once ROI is proven.
3. Transform: Replace multiple tools and manual processes with an always-on engagement infrastructure that cuts CAC, increases NRR, and lowers labor costs.

Why This Matters

This reframing changes everything:

• We’re no longer just selling a feature set—we’re solving a P&L-level problem.
• CSMs can tie their work directly to ROI, not just adoption metrics.
• Product can prioritize features that deepen our ability to automate the job we were hired for.

The takeaway?
Jobs to Be Done gave us the lens. The P&L gave us the target.
And together, they gave us a North Star that’s not only true for us—it’s impossible for the right prospects to ignore.
