Shrink big ambitions into a two‑to‑four week outcome with clear constraints. Define what is included and explicitly list what is not. Replace vague timelines with calendar dates. Clarify required access, data, and response times. The result is confidence: your side knows what to build; their side knows what to expect and prepare for.

Buyers do not wake wanting features; they want relief and results. Express benefits as saved hours, reduced error rates, or faster approvals. Tie each promise to a measuring method and a check‑in date. When stakeholders can picture success on a dashboard, approvals accelerate and champions comfortably invite procurement into the conversation.

Calm nerves with milestones, acceptance criteria, and a sensible refund or adjustment policy for missed targets. Offer a brief paid pilot before any longer commitment. Provide references or anonymized proof points. When perceived risk drops, decision cycles shorten, and you gain permission to invoice earlier because stakeholders trust the path and safeguards.
