Common Objections What problems might there be with the new products or solutions? What objections might people have to implementing the solutions?

Dealing with objections - example ObjectionWhyWhat to do I don’t have time to learn new software eg I’m using SBS 2000 and don’t see the reason to move? Worried about deployment impact and re- training “if you’ve used one Microsoft product you’re ready for this new software. They are all based on windows and you’ll pick it up straight away. Also every part has new intuitive wizards to guide you through every task” What I have works just fine. Ill just use that. Perhaps feeling that they don’t get the most out of what they have “Microsoft solutions make sense for how you work today, not just tomorrow. We can help you improve your productivity right now.”
