Common misconception
"Selling is about persuasion, convincing people to want what you offer." Not with businesses. Businesses buy on math: does this make or save us more money than it costs? If you can prove "I'll save you $50,000 a year for $10,000," there's little to persuade: the return sells itself. The key to selling to businesses is quantifying the return, not being persuasive.
