Before
you dash, here are some responses to common objections:
"Why
should I work with you? Why shouldn't I work with one
of the big consulting firms?"
- They'll
wine and dine you with their starter "A" team
- until they get the business. Then they'll put the
"C" and "D" bench team to work on
your project. With us, you always get our "A"
team.
- Because
we're smaller, we're more adaptable to your specific
requirements
- We're
also more adaptable to changing market conditions
- You
get to work with an owner who has a vested interest
to make sure the project runs smoothly
- Because
we're a smaller firm we can innovate and take calculated
risks
"We're
small - we'll do this when we get bigger".
Smaller companies may not understand why this comprehensive
approach to technology benefits them. They have limited
resources (capital and human) and the very people that
are needed to create and implement some of the initiatives
are the same people that are needed for day-to-day operations.
What they don't realize is that if they don't address
it now, they might not get bigger. One challenge can wipe
them out if they're not prepared.
"It's
too expensive."
How expensive would it be if your competition snagged
your main client because the competition could "keep
up"? How expensive would it be if your best employees
abandoned ship to work for a more progressive organization?
How expensive would it be if you had to close your company
because you can't recover from the latest tropical storm/electrical
outage/terrorist attack/insert-your-own-calamity-here?
"We
don't have time to address this right now."
See previous question. Do you have time for any of those
scenarios?
"It's
all too complicated."
That's why we're here. It might seem like a lot of things
to consider but, we make it easy and we make sure you
don't omit any critical considerations.
"We
can do this ourselves."
If that's the best use of your time, great! Go for it!
If you know you really need to focus on bringing in more
business, then flying solo might not be such a great idea.
Do you possess the expertise to really do it right? What
will it cost if not done right?
