MAKING THE CASE FOR DOMO?
THIS WILL HELP…
Trying to get management on board with a new tool like Domo? We’ve got your back. We know it can be tough to navigate questions about cost, security, and whether it’s really “worth it.” That’s why we’ve pulled together a simple, practical toolkit to help you confidently address the most common objections — and turn them into opportunities. You’ll find clear, thoughtful responses to the questions leadership is most likely to ask, plus a set of ready-to-send email templates to help you start the conversation, loop in IT, and even schedule a demo. Whether you’re just exploring Domo or ready to pitch it to your team, this guide will help you make a strong, well-informed case — without having to start from scratch.

LET’S GET STARTED BY OVERCOMING POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS
-
Objection 1: “We already have a BI tool.”Response: That’s understandable—many organizations use tools like Tableau or Power BI. However, Domo isn’t just a BI tool; it’s a full-stack data experience platform. It combines data integration, transformation, visualization, and app-building in one place. This means less time switching between tools and more time delivering insights. It can also complement existing tools by integrating with them.
-
Objection 2: “It’s too expensive.”Response: While Domo may seem like a significant investment upfront, it often reduces costs in the long run by eliminating the need for multiple tools and reducing IT overhead. It also empowers business users to self-serve, which reduces the burden on data teams. We can start with a pilot or limited deployment to demonstrate ROI before scaling.
-
Objection 3: “We don’t have the resources to implement it.”Response: Domo is designed for rapid deployment and ease of use. It offers pre-built connectors, drag-and-drop ETL, and low-code app development. Their customer success team also provides onboarding support. We can start small with a focused use case and scale as we build internal expertise.
-
Objection 4: “Our data isn’t ready for this.”Response: That’s actually a great reason to use Domo. It helps clean, transform, and unify data from disparate sources. With Domo’s Magic ETL and data governance tools, we can improve data quality and accessibility over time. It’s a platform that grows with our data maturity.
-
Objection 5: “We’re concerned about data security.”Response: Domo is enterprise-grade and compliant with major security standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR. It offers robust access controls, encryption, and audit trails. We can also integrate it with our existing identity and access management systems for added control.
-
Objection 6: “We don’t want to disrupt current workflows.”Response: Domo integrates with existing systems and workflows through APIs, connectors, and embedded analytics. It can enhance current processes rather than replace them. We can start by embedding Domo dashboards into tools teams already use, like Salesforce or SharePoint.
-
Objection 7: “We need to see results quickly.”Response: Domo is built for speed. With pre-built connectors and templates, we can go from data to dashboard in days, not months. Many companies see value within the first 30 days. We can identify a high-impact use case to prove value quickly. Once you have your responses to the objections that may come up, here are some plug and play emails to help you get conversations going…

Email 1: Introducing Domo
Subject line: How Domo can help us move faster and smarter
Body:
Hi [NAME],
I know we’re all juggling a lot right now, but I wanted to share a bit about a platform I’ve been explori
ng — Domo.
I believe Domo could help me with [ABC], and I think it could really help us a business with [XYZ].
Domo is a cloud-native platform that brings together data integration, transformation, visualization, and even app-building — all in one place. It’s designed to empower business users to make faster, data-driven decisions without relying heavily on IT.
Some of the features I think could be especially valuable for us:
-
Real-time dashboards and alerts
-
Easy integration with our existing tools (Salesforce, Google Sheets, Snowflake, etc.)
-
Drag-and-drop ETL and low-code app creation
-
Mobile access for insights on the go
-
AI-powered insights and forecasting
I think we could use Domo to automate repetitive tasks like [manual project], freeing up time for more strategic work like [strategic project].
Let me know if you’d like more info — I’m happy to share a one-pager or case study.
Best,
[Your Name]
