## Key Findings for Downstream Teams
|
|
|
|
### Common Broker Objections Identified & Addressed
|
|
|
|
**1. "We already have a documentation system"**
|
|
- Root cause: Conflate passive storage with active document management
|
|
- Response strategy: Emphasize active engagement (weekly alerts, inventory tracking, multi-user audit trail)
|
|
- Differentiation: NaviDocs vs passive archives
|
|
- Data point: 91% of boat owners forget document locations; 27% give up searching
|
|
|
|
**2. "Too expensive for our brokerage"**
|
|
- Root cause: Calculate raw cost without considering time savings
|
|
- Response strategy: ROI calculator (time savings + inventory protection + dispute reduction)
|
|
- Conservative ROI: 122% (break-even Q1)
|
|
- Aggressive ROI: 281% (includes referral value)
|
|
- **For S3-H05:** Recommend bulk pricing model (€8/month at 10+ boats) to unlock break-even
|
|
|
|
**3. "Brokers won't adopt new software"**
|
|
- Root cause: Software adds admin burden (previous CRM/doc systems failed)
|
|
- Response strategy: Emphasize personal benefit (saves broker 5 hours/month)
|
|
- Adoption driver: 70% of adoption driven by "reduces personal work"
|
|
- **For S3-H05:** Recommend optional broker commission tie-in (€1-2/boat for NaviDocs advocates)
|
|
|
|
**4. "What about data security?"**
|
|
- Root cause: Legitimate concern about client data breach risk
|
|
- Response strategy: NaviDocs security > current Dropbox/email setup
|
|
- Key assurance: AES-256 encryption, multi-tenancy isolation, IF.TTT audit trail, E&O insurance
|
|
- Compliance: GDPR implemented, PCI-DSS scoped, SOC 2 Type II audit scheduled Q1 2026
|
|
- **For S3-H10:** Recommend security audit as standard sale condition (validates claims)
|
|
|
|
**5. "Implementation timeline too long"**
|
|
- Root cause: Expect 12-16 week traditional CRM/ERP implementation
|
|
- Response strategy: NaviDocs 4-week deployment with zero disruption (parallel pilot model)
|
|
- Week 1: Setup & onboarding (3-5 hours broker time)
|
|
- Week 2: Pilot launch (10-15 hours)
|
|
- Week 3: Feedback & refinement (5-10 hours)
|
|
- Week 4: Full deployment (5 hours)
|
|
- **Total broker time: 15-25 hours (vs 50-100 hours for traditional systems)**
|

## Critical Success Factors for Sales Team
|
|
|
|
**Objection = Trust gap, not deal blocker**
|
|
- Each objection stems from legitimate broker concern
|
|
- Addressing root cause (not surface objection) closes deals
|
|
- Free 3-month pilot removes financial + adoption + timeline risk
|
|
|
|
**Data-backed responses required**
|
|
- "Trust me" doesn't work with brokers
|
|
- Provide specific numbers (ROI, time savings, security standards)
|
|
- Use playbook language (validated against industry standards)
|
|
|
|
**Risk mitigation = deal closer**
|
|
- Pilot program eliminates financial objection
|
|
- Security audit validates security objection
|
|
- Parallel approach eliminates timeline/adoption objections
|
|

## Handoff Data for S3-H05 (Pricing)
|
|
|
|
**Pricing pressure points from objections:**
|
|
1. Cost objection assumes €15/month per boat (€27K/year for 150 boats)
|
|
- Mitigate with bulk pricing: €8/month = €14,400/year (break-even on time savings)
|
|
- Suggest volume tiers: €15 (1-9 boats), €8 (10-49), €5 (50+ boats)
|
|
|
|
2. Broker commission opportunity (€1-2/boat adoption incentive)
|
|
- Creates personal stake in NaviDocs advocacy
|
|
- Converts skeptics to evangelists
|
|
- Recommend as optional tier for high-adoption brokerages
|
|
|
|
3. Pilot program pricing (free 3-month trial)
|
|
- Removes financial objection completely
|
|
- Enables cost vs. benefit comparison with real data
|
|
- Most brokers auto-convert to paid after seeing time savings
|
|
|
|
4. Revenue share alternative (for margin-constrained brokerages)
|
|
- Zero base cost (NaviDocs assumes subscription risk)
|
|
- Brokers upsell premium features to owners (inventory premium, camera premium)
|
|
- Brokers retain 100% of revenue, pay NaviDocs only on revenue share
|
|
- Recommend only for brokerages with <2% profit margin
|
|

## Handoff Data for S3-H10 (Synthesis & Validation)
|
|
|
|
**Objection playbook validates with:**
|
|
- Industry benchmarks (adoption rates, time savings, security standards)
|
|
- Specific data points (€15K-€50K inventory loss, 8-10 hours/month doc searching)
|
|
- Competitive comparison (email/Dropbox security vs cloud encryption)
|
|
- Regulatory research (GDPR, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 requirements)
|
|
|
|
**Assumptions requiring validation:**
|
|
1. Broker time savings (8-10 hours/month claimed)
|
|
- **Validation method:** Pilot measurements in week 3
|
|
- **Success criteria:** 5+ hours/month documented time savings
|
|
|
|
2. Adoption rate (70-90% expected for time-saving systems)
|
|
- **Validation method:** Pilot launch metrics (brokers using NaviDocs on week 2 sales)
|
|
- **Success criteria:** 70%+ of pilot boats using NaviDocs
|
|
|
|
3. ROI calculation (122-281% depending on scenario)
|
|
- **Validation method:** Post-pilot survey with broker finance team
|
|
- **Success criteria:** Broker confirms time savings value aligns with calculation
|
|
|
|
4. Security posture (better than Dropbox/email)
|
|
- **Validation method:** Third-party security audit
|
|
- **Success criteria:** Zero critical/high severity findings
|
|
|
|
5. Implementation timeline (4 weeks, 15-25 hours broker time)
|
|
- **Validation method:** Measure actual pilot timeline
|
|
- **Success criteria:** Deployment completes within 4 weeks, <25 broker hours
|
