Vendors often complain that analysts come to a discussion with outcomes pre-determined and that nothing the vendor says or does will change the analyst’s mind. Are you really facing a Sisyphean task? We don’t think so. We’ve seen vendors achieve significant progress in analyst outcomes by directly confronting those analyst (mis)conceptions.

Through this 30 minute webinar, you'll be able to:

  • Uncover the disconnects between your story and the analyst's beliefs.
  • Identify the key pieces of evidence that you’ll need to build your case.
  • Assess the strength of your argument and your likelihood of success.
  • Walk away with an understanding of how to materially change an analyst’s world view and perception of your company.
