When stakeholders doubt my product’s feasibility, the key is to show, not just tell… I will start by building a prototype and testing it with real clients. This not only helps refine the product but can lead to early commitments, proving the concept has legs. I will share clear data on performance, feedback, and market demand - numbers help build trust. Next, I will show them how my product stands out by analysing competitors (if I've not done that before already). If I can prove it’s scalable and fills a gap in the market, I'll be able to reduce risks and involve stakeholders in the process, so they see the potential firsthand. I will also ask for their feedback at that stage.

Stakeholders may want to know that your product is not only viable now but will also be successful in the long term. It's important to show how your product can grow and stay sustainable. Explain how your product can expand over time, like adding new features, reaching more markets, or having more uses. Share data about how the market is expected to grow and how your product fits into that growth.

Showcase tangible results with data driven prototypes, pilot tests, and customer feedback. Demonstrating real world success builds trust and turns skepticism into confidence.

It’s important to focus on both immediate viability and long-term potential. Here some approaches: - Highlight scalability: explain how your product can evolve, such as adapting to new technologies, entering adjacent markets, or upgrades. - Demonstrate robust R&D: share your innovation process and emphasize research that ensures the product will stay ahead. - Provide industry validation: reference partnerships, endorsements, or alignment with standards to show credibility and market readiness. - Show risk mitigation: present contingency plans and risk analyses to prove your preparedness for challenges. - Tell a growth story: use market projections and competitive positioning to illustrate how your product will thrive.

Shift skepticism into excitement by making stakeholders part of the journey—invite them to exclusive beta testing or co-creation sessions. Instead of just presenting data, craft a compelling narrative that connects your innovation to market inevitability. When people feel ownership in the vision, they’ll champion it rather than doubt it.
