Here are several for inspiration:

+ How has the conversation around service design in business changed over the years? How do you describe its evolution?

+ What are the most common challenges people have in selling the concept of service design? Why do you think that is?

+ What are some of the core principles around breaking down service design? Can you provide an example pitch?

+ When selling service design how do you address metrics? Often organizations are looking for tangible data points.

+ Is there ever a point where an individual should give up the fight selling service design in one area and move to another?

+ Where is service design best sold or most accepted? What environments? What about least successfully sold and accepted?
