It is always more interesting when you have multiple decision makers in the loop for a project like this. Couple of questions: 1) Are you able to figure out which one of the partners will make the ultimate decision, or at least which one is the most dominant/persuasive? 2) Do you know what the history/relationship of the competitor is that is doing the first trial? I would recommend that you document every step of your process, and capture results during your trial. Your background in Operations will serve you well in this area. One of the toughest challenges is to take a successful trial and scale it to a full blown, company-wide process. With thorough documentation and roadmap, you should be able to win the day. As far as other innovative tools and techniques, Feel free to use the any ideas that might help from my blog at http://www.fillthefunnel.com By the way, one of your activities in creative marketing already paid off...you and I are connected on LinkedIn and I received a notification that your profile had been updated. This stuff really does work. Please let us all know how it all turns out. Michael, Great job on the progress and approach you used.

I have used several appointment setting services and found a great gulf between what is promised on the front side and what actually comes to fruition. Lets talk about this...I am interested to hear.
