The ”Non-Believer”
• It’s always the smiling guy…• Is this guy your target customer?• Win them over?
• YES: Converts are zealots!• No: Contain the damage
• Leverage 3rd party champions (non employee or partner). Ex. Qirfiraz
• Always, Always, Always, stick to the indisputable things:
The facts. The numbers. Your strengths.
