Editor's Notes
- #5: Ask your contacts for their contacts. Never know who knows who and who is willing to help. They might not help, they might not know anyone, but ASK!!! Have to read people, within leagues and conference teams might not get along. If they turn cold when you bring something up, change the subject ASAP!
- #6: What drives them? Saving money?, better features, mac based product, better service, alignment with a global company who work with all sports? We know that we can meet all these drivers but some will be irrelevant to the driver. Play to the relevant ones and emphasize them. People might not even realize some benefits, it just adds more ammo to your sale.
- #7: I cant stress how important the client relationship is. Relationship building allows us to ask the hard questions. How much they were paying and how much they were prepared to pay- would we be affordable? What they wanted to achieve? Could we meet those requirements? What do I need to do for the higher ups? Sometimes it can be really hard to develop client relationships.
- #9: 2004 I wasnt even thinking about relationship building for the future, but having contacts for years from all over the country (continent/world) can be so valuable.
- #11: These are old features now, and we can often take them for granted but of huge importance to this solution is SportsCodes ability to capture and code live and customize your own windows. In comparison, XOS told them how they had to work.
- #12: Lots of little things add up to a lot. Apple, save 5 minutes, iPad, thunderbolt, camtwist, elgato, save three minutes, matrix, customization, save 3 minutes, easy to use, save 3 minutes. EVERY DAY!!!
