In your second point you say to tell them how RSS fills their pain points. What do you mean by that?

OK, take the e-mail example. A lot of people are e-mail people. They manage nearly everything through Outlook. Tasks, appointments, e-mail, checklist. So rather than focusing on getting them to switch tools you can focus on how they can get the latest information based on their preference delivered to them. The wrong approach would be to get them to install an Outlook based reader before they understand the benefit of RSS. Asking questions is fundamental to helping people solve problems.

Excellent topic–I work with small/midsize companies and few of them can even spell RSS. It’s good to have a post like this to start spreading the word. Thanks! (Found you on the ProBlogger project.)
