      How do we sell our bosses on our ideas ? In this case, I want him to buy me a subscription to Hoover's. Cost is, about, $2600.00 for one year if I remember properly. For the moment, we're going to try a LinkedIN premium account (definitely not my 1st choice in this case) on a month to month basis. Really, Hoover's lays the golden eggs here.

      You want to get, you have to give. If you can explain why getting the subscription will make or save the company money...

        Basically for a sale to work you have to convince him the subscription is more valuable than the cost. We as people always judge on a value system like that. Up-play the subscription and downplay the $2.6k!

          I didn't Google it because I thought 'vacuums' and that didn't seem like what he was talking about

            That's a fair chunk to downplay!

              Thank you for sharing that insight :) Simple truths are easily recognized when you see them, but it was nowhere to be found when I was looking for an answer to a similar question.

                Anytime, as you already pointed out, that concept can be used in many areas. Mind food!

                  Tell then how much better data will save them. Time spent updating and manipulating crap data costs money after all and Hoovers is about as good as I've ever gotten.

                      I have no problems with selling my bosses. The only downside of my method is they have to hire a new one every time.
