What’s your best piece of advice for getting stakeholder buy-in?

I think the most important factor you must consider when rolling out any new tool or process is how it addresses the pain points of the intended user base. Sellers, for example, are usually strapped for time, and as such tend to despise tasks that can be perceived as “admin work”. If you can demonstrate to front line managers how the new tool/process can save time/eliminate “admin work”, you can get them to be your advocate/champion within the user base. Having that trusted voice lobbying on your behalf significantly improves the rate of adoption within the team. Once you have some buy in, user testimonials carry more weight than any slide deck or presentation. So start by understanding the common pain points, position your new offering as a solution, convert a trusted entity into your champion, then share success stories within the team.
