The first email to the owner
vcshr.com6/6Hi Guy, we haven't met — I came across VCS researching scheduling software for police departments. Congrats on the relaunch as VCS HR. Taking POSS from 700+ police departments into payroll and HR for any employer is the harder way to grow, and the better one.
Proof paragraph · redacted on this siteMost of your peers now sit inside bigger platforms: Aladtec, CrewSense, PlanIt. A founder-owned vendor with 700+ departments and its own extra-duty billing product is rare.
I originate acquisitions for [Buyer]. No process and nothing to prepare. Would you be open to 15 minutes to compare notes on where the category is going?
Appreciate the response in advance - I'm sure you're getting messages like this daily.
Thank you,
Harpreet
2 alternate hooks
- No outside capitalCongrats on 28 years and 700+ departments on POSS without outside money. That only happens when the product sells itself agency to agency.
- Category patternAladtec, CrewSense and PlanIt have all been bought since 2019. You're one of the few founder-owned scheduling vendors left, which says a lot about how your customers stay.
Flag: 700+ departments is self-reported. [Buyer] is filled per mandate. Draft only, nothing sent.
