Overview
Small sites can spend less on Readysell assistance by using the small site implementation methodology. But if you don't do enough to prepare, you will have a difficult conversion experience. You will eventually get Readysell going, the program wroks. But you could cause difficulties for your customers and your team. If you decide to use this approach you do so at your own risk.
The work involved with setting up your Readysell system is about one third planning, one third data tidy up/checking and one third training.
How can you reduce the implementation cost? If your business has up to five users, we can aim at NOT trying to do the best Readysell implementation possible. Instead Readysell can save you a lot of money by:
...
- You need to gain a lot of experience as economically as possible, the cheapest way to do this is to work at another Readysell 8 store. Just pick stock, enter sales, anything you do will be a huge benefit. Going to other sites and watching what they do will not work. You have to stay there and help them process work in order to learn. You have to do the work at the site you visit for the knowledge to sink in. But if you can't do that, sit and watch what the other Readysell 8 customer does for a few days. One day will not be enough.
- Find another Readysell user near your business and agree to send a key staff member to that site to work in their business for a few days
- Get a key team member trained in an outline of those basic features you need. Then send them to another dealer to help that dealer with their day to day work for a few days. By the time you team member returns. They will know a lot of what they need without having to pay as much for Readysell training
- Follow the standard "fail safe implementation strategy", but cut down the features covered

Above all else, don't expect to save on implementation costs and to also get everything you expect. Have the discipline to resist learning more or implementing more than you need to get started. It is a bit like being on a diet. Readysell has all those goodies, but you have to resist going for them all, otherwise your costs will blow out. |
