VALUE ADDED RESELLERS (VARs)

We work on behalf of the customer as the "Project Champion" to ensure a successful ERP implementation for everyone.
​
Surprise! One of the most common reasons for delaying new ERP implementations isn't money; it is most often the perceived business disruption and the client's lack of internal resources to commit to the project. At Champion Business Solutions, we assist VARs like you in closing ERP deals efficiently, seamlessly, and with enhanced client satisfaction. We work directly with the client as an extension of their internal staff, while always respecting and safeguarding your relationships with them.​​​​
Your Trusted Partner to Accelerate ERP Deals
Here are the top 5 reasons ERP deals stall, particularly in the SMB and mid-market segments where Tier 2 ERP solutions are common:​
1. Unclear or Misaligned Internal Requirements
What happens: Key stakeholders don’t agree on what the business needs, or departments haven’t clearly defined their workflows, pain points, or must-haves.
Impact: Endless demos, shifting scope, or RFP paralysis.
Solution: Independent discovery workshops to align business goals and create consensus before committing to a system.
2. Fear of Organizational Disruption
What happens: Executives or power users fear the unknown—data migration, user adoption, downtime, or changes to day-to-day processes.
Impact: Stakeholder pushback, delays in decision-making, or a hard stop.
Solution: Offer change management guidance and show a phased or low-risk implementation roadmap.
3. Budget Ambiguity or Sticker Shock
What happens: The buyer either doesn’t fully understand TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), or pricing wasn’t framed properly (e.g., licensing vs. services vs. infrastructure).
Impact: CFO hesitation or rejection after initial interest.
Solution: Help clarify budget ranges early, including hidden costs and value-based framing (cost vs. return).
4. Overwhelmed Decision Makers
What happens: SMBs especially lack ERP experience and don’t know how to evaluate vendors, compare options, or make structured decisions.
Impact: Decision fatigue, multiple revisits to the same questions, or “let’s revisit this next quarter.”
Solution: Step in as a guide—neutral, structured frameworks for evaluation, scorecards, or readiness checklists.
5. Lack of Executive Sponsorship
What happens: Mid-level champions push the ERP initiative, but the C-suite is disengaged or unconvinced.
Impact: Project stalls without top-level buy-in or budget approval.
Solution: Provide high-level business case support, ROI modeling, or tailored executive briefings to engage senior leadership.​
