I often find myself selling against what people have been told because it does not fit their company culture, budget, or goals. Often scare tactics are used to talk people into things that they really can do without.

Sadly, some professionals do companies a disservice by selling them the tool without a proper strategy. A well developed and executed strategy beats a poor one with bright shiny tools any day. I'd love to read that case study if you have the link. Cath, you make such a great point with excellent illustrations!
