Same automation. Four different workflows.

Tuesday you saw the code. Today you see how pricing managers, analysts, ops specialists, and AI agents each use it differently. Each role has different needs, different dashboards, different wins.

Getting Your Pricing Team On Board

⚠️
Fear

Analysts think AI will replace their jobs

💡
Response

Show time savings data: 'You'll spend 10 hours less on scraping, 10 hours more on strategic analysis that actually influences decisions.' Frame as promotion from data janitor to strategic advisor.

Result

Analysts become advocates when they see their insights get implemented faster.

⚠️
Fear

Managers don't trust AI-generated recommendations

💡
Response

Run parallel for 2 weeks: manual analysis + AI analysis side-by-side. Show 94% agreement rate on directional recommendations, but AI includes 40% more market signals.

Result

Managers realize AI catches opportunities they were missing, not replacing their judgment.

⚠️
Fear

Operations worried about deployment errors

💡
Response

Start with read-only mode: AI monitors and alerts, but ops controls all changes. After 30 days of zero missed alerts, gradually increase automation.

Result

Ops sees AI as safety net, not risk. Confidence builds through proof.

⚠️
Fear

Leadership concerned about upfront investment

💡
Response

Calculate ROI: 33 hours/week saved × $75/hour avg = $2,475/week = $128K/year. Show 30-day payback period with Team tier.

Result

ROI math makes decision obvious. Often approved in single meeting.

⚠️
Fear

Team worried about learning curve and adoption time

💡
Response

Show role-specific dashboards: each person sees only what they need. Analyst dashboard looks like their current spreadsheet, just auto-populated. Manager sees executive summary, not raw data.

Result

Adoption in 3-5 days because interface matches existing mental models.
