CONVERSATION STARTERSBusiness growth is a top priority — let’s talk about the tools you’re providing to your employees to
ensure they are working most efficiently and productively. Who can I speak with on your staff about
upgrading to Lenovo ThinkStations?
QUESTIONS• How do you manage employee productivity?
• What industry-standard software should you be running on your current workstations? What are your dream software and tools? Can your current workstations support these toolsets?
• How do you manage expectations when your workstations cannot support deliverables?
• What processors do you use now to handle your graphics-heavy workload?
NEXT STEPSEngage your channel account managerGreat to hear you are interested! Our ThinkStation experts are great resources in addressing your
transformation questions. Let’s set up a meeting.
Offer additional informationI’d love to send you some information and insight to help you learn more. We’ve got a playbook of
informative papers, product brochures, infographics, and presentations. What email address can I send
these to?
OVERCOMING OBJECTIONSWe don’t need this much power — normal PCs work just fine.• Perhaps for now, but what about when your business grows beyond your current capabilities? The
perfect time to consider upgrading is not when your PCs are already too slow and inefficient for your business purposes. It’s now, when you have the flexibility to adapt to modern challenges.
• Are you using downgraded software as a replacement for industry standards? Consider the benefits to your business if you were able to support your employees’ needs and the needs of your clients without slowing down your deliverables.
We use gaming PCs to handle our processing needs.• Gaming PCs, while often used in high-processing industries, are not the best choice for business
purposes. Workstations, on the other hand — especially those from Lenovo — offer uniquely powerful, reliable, flexible features and components that are rare or unavailable on consumer, business, or gaming PCs. These include high-speed, high-core-count CPUs, professional-grade GPUs, and specialized software.
