Delivering the Power<br />

Conservative or hostile needs to hear: Costs are high, but it<br />

is the only cost-effective strategy to meet the company’s<br />

objectives.<br />

The costs of the program are $1.2 million over the next<br />

year. The company has budgeted $1.75 million for<br />

reorganizing its distribution network. This amount will<br />

cover the cost of the strategy. There are only two other<br />

proposals for reorganization, and neither of those has as<br />

high a cost-benefit ratio, and both have higher cost.<br />

Addressing New Opportunities<br />

Higher management wants to hear: The cost is quite<br />

reasonable considering the size of the opportunity.<br />

The cost to this program will be $375,000. The market<br />

size is over $10 million and we should be able to at least<br />

gain 25 percent market share. We will drop our efforts<br />

to pursue the budgeted market opportunity (state what<br />

it is) to cover the cost of the program. This opportunity<br />

is four times bigger than the budgeted market<br />

opportunity.<br />

Action-oriented needs to hear: The costs of the program<br />

will not adversely impact operating margins of the<br />

division or the company.<br />

The costs to go after this opportunity are $285,000, which<br />

includes new personnel, a new marketing program, and<br />

changes in our trade show booth. Pursuing this<br />

opportunity will enhance the sales in particular of our<br />

Advantage line so we are going to cut that line’s marketing<br />

and trade show budget to pay for the introduction.<br />
