Understanding Risk Reduction in Complex Technical Sales for Automation Projects
- Published

- AutomationWorld.com
In complex technical sales, particularly in automation projects, price-cutting is not the key to winning bids. Experienced buyers, including project managers and engineers, assess multiple factors beyond just cost, focusing on overall project risk. They seek integrators who demonstrate technical competence and a proven track record, as the consequences of poor supplier choices can be significant.
Customers prioritize technical competence, asking whether a company has the necessary capabilities and experience to successfully execute their projects. Demonstrating this competence through case studies and successful project examples is crucial. For instance, showcasing previous implementations of custom vision inspection systems can effectively communicate a company's expertise, reassuring buyers of their ability to deliver.
As competition intensifies, integrators and OEMs must focus on being perceived as the safest choice rather than merely the cheapest. This approach is vital for securing large capital expenditures, where the stakes are high. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
