Abstract/Contents: | Provides potential ways that turf managers can frugally purchase equipment while on a budget crunch. States that "developing a plan, solid talking points based on demonstrable needs, and an effective sales pitch are critical to success." Gives a list of the "10 tips on how to justify new equipment." Informs that the steps that need to be taken when evaluating which equipment to purchase are to define the problem, evaluate it, ask key questions, map out a budget and costs, demonstrate the return on the investment, come up with an effective sales pitch, and to continue to become educated on the equipment after the presentation. Stresses that "it's important to remember that you are competing for a slice of your organization's budget pie and the others are hungry for it, too," hence it is important to carefully map out each of these steps when attempting to make a hefty purchase like a piece of machinery equipment. |
