    In general, people businesses don't buy from businesses. In general, it is some individual that buys from another person. So: meet them, build up the trust to allow them to trust you, so that they can then trust what you are saying about your product.

    And if your product is going to cost them $m+, then how is your product going to help their business to make $1.2m+ extra profit (not just extra income)?

    If you cant show that, then they will buy the much easier product, that everyone else is using, that is much cheaper and well known and has many partners that help to implement it - like Microsoft CRM or SQL Server and the included BI capabilities.
