Getting Your Team On Board

⚠️
Fear

Analysts think AI will replace them

💡
Response

Show career path: 'You'll spend 88% less time on data entry, 88% more time on strategic analysis and deal sourcing.' Frame as promotion, not replacement.

Result

Analysts see it as leveling up. Junior analysts do work that used to require seniors.

⚠️
Fear

Managers don't trust AI assumptions

💡
Response

Run parallel for 30 days: AI analysis + manual analysis. Show 99.2% match rate on comps, AI catches risks humans missed 23% of the time.

Result

Trust builds through data. Managers start asking AI questions before analysts.

⚠️
Fear

Ops worried about upfront cost and integration

💡
Response

Calculate ROI: 308 hours saved/month × $75/hour blended rate = $23,100/month savings. 30-day payback even at $20K setup.

Result

Show monthly savings chart. Math makes decision obvious. Integration takes 2 weeks, not 6 months.

⚠️
Fear

Team resistant to changing Excel-based workflow

💡
Response

Don't force new tools. AI outputs to Excel/Google Sheets. Analysts work in familiar environment, just with pre-filled data.

Result

Zero learning curve. Adoption happens in days, not months. Analysts customize their own templates.

⚠️
Fear

Leadership worried about losing institutional knowledge

💡
Response

AI codifies best practices. Every deal analyzed using firm's methodology. New hires onboard 3x faster with consistent examples.

Result

Institutional knowledge scales. Turnover no longer catastrophic. Firm gets smarter over time.
