Tip — Day 262

A buyer praises your demo, then hesitates: “We’ve been with our current vendor for eight years.” Ask what they’re protecting: “What works well today that you’d be worried about losing if you switched?” A better feature set won’t automatically outweigh familiar support or a reliable workflow.
