The conversations that make adoption stick, and the one that kills it.

## Lead with the boring work

Name the tasks everyone dislikes. People welcome help with re-keying and chasing; they resist anything framed as replacing judgment.

## Pick champions, not mandates

## Show where the time goes

Tell the team in advance what the recovered hours are for: sales, service, or simply leaving on time.
