Elevator Pitch • IT is being asked to do more with less while taking on big initiatives like digital transformation, the consumerization of IT, and improving the user experience. All while running the day to day systems. • The problem facing most organizations? In a word, complexity. While IT is great at building new houses they never move out of the old ones – leading to the phrase “Technical Debt.” Left unchecked, over time this complexity ends up consuming almost every dollar spent on IT. • The ServiceNow Platform approach to running IT like a business eliminates point solutions, shifting dollars from runningthe business to growingthe business, breaking down silos, getting applications to market faster—all while showing value all along the way. • A recent example of this is Danone who shifted 30% of its IT spend from running the business to growing it, and shifted spend to where it matters most.
Objection Handling Objection handling can be tricky and is uncomfortable for most. But by taking time to listen, ask questions, and research it helps to further build value and your credibility– and it’s a great reason to speak with them again! Objection Handling Process: Steps to effectively handle an objection Common Examples: Samples of typical objections, and some talking points. Strongest Response: “That is an interesting concern, let me do some research and get back to you” can be a very powerful response. • Lets them know that you take their concern seriously • Gives you the opportunity to formulate the RIGHT response and show value • Gives you the opportunity to reach out to them again
Objection Examples Objection: ServiceNow is not mentioned on Gartner PPM Magic Quadrant This is because many of the criteria for being included focus on legacy PPM capability and exclude products based on broader platforms. You can find ServiceNow reviews on Gartner.comhere. ServiceNow ITBM has been named a leader in the Forrester Wave: Strategic Portfolio Management Tools. See the report here: https://www.servicenow.com/lpayr/forrester-spm-wave.html ServiceNow offers a service-oriented approach that uniquely captures the end-to-end process from Ideation through release, and its incorporation with other services and data on the platform. This removes the common barriers between operations and project portfolio management. When can we schedule 30 minutes to review a bit further? Objection: ServiceNow does not have all the functionality of a legacy PPM product like CA PPM It is common for people to have evaluated ServiceNow for PPM some time ago and not realized how much ServiceNow has invested in this space in the last few releases. ServiceNow provides all the key functionality for ideation/demand, project, agile, resource, test, release, and portfolio management, with over a thousand customers successfully executing with it. In addition, the value that the others can’t offer is in the ability to seamlessly integrate with other services and user/asset data on the platform. This provides a holistic view of all tasks assigned to resources, prioritization of those tasks, the end-to-end impact of projects and the services, integration with the CMDB to provide insight about other activities (incidents, change requests, releases, etc.)—which leads to visibility of overall business goals rather than just individual project goals.
