Customer ROI Concerns Block Deal Closure
Definition
SME manufacturers are hesitant to adopt robotics solutions due to poor return on investment (ROI) that does not meet their internal hurdle rates. Engineering services firms struggle to close deals with potential customers who lack confidence in financial payback. This forces sales cycles to extend significantly, delaying revenue recognition. The core issue: 98.7% of U.S. firms do not use robots, indicating massive market penetration barriers driven by customer uncertainty about ROI.[5] Robotics engineering services firms must invest heavily in proving value propositions and building business cases, consuming pre-sales resources without guaranteed conversion.
