How to build a business case to get AI tools signed off

The exact structure, numbers, and stakeholder map you need to get an AI tool approved - without it dying in procurement.

What's inside

  • Why thinking like a salesperson (not a budget-asker) is the unlock.
  • The three sales muscles to use: multi-threaded buy-in, creating urgency, and handling objections.
  • A who's who of stakeholders to multi-thread - Champion, Economic Buyer, Technical Buyer, anti-champions and the rest.
  • The two questions to answer per stakeholder, in their language.
  • The collateral checklist - what to actually put together for sign-off.
  • A real worked example: $1.8M of savings, mapped problem-by-problem.
  • A case study of how one team got AI sign-off in 6 weeks instead of 6 months by tying it to a quarterly planning cycle.

Who it's for

Anyone trying to get an AI tool past their procurement, IT, or finance gatekeepers without weeks of back-and-forth.
