2020: By Mr Mark Walsh, Senior Business Consultant for Flex2B



Before we can Bring the customer to Flex2B we must first Bring Flex2B to the customer.

The customer will not take next steps before:

    • Trusting Flex2B is the application for their requirement.

    • Trusting that our Flex2B teams are the people who can mobilize for their organisation
    • Trusting that their organisation is capable of receiving / integrating Flex2B. 



      • Before we ask the customer to be convinced of the features and benefits of a successful Flex2B installation, we must be convinced ourselves.

      • We must be familiar with these features and benefits and the customer questions that can come with each feature.

      • We will address the “Why choose Flex2B?” question first feature by feature.

      • Customer FAQs we will be addressed later grouped by the people who are likely to ask them on the customer side.
