I work in logistics and study chemistry, so I've got a good amount of analytical power in my brain, just never quite applied it in this way.

Have confidence in your analytical ability, and realize that a base hit or a double is how you win the long term game, they won't all be home runs,  and that's okay!   

Also, any insight on management/analytics software that are particularly useful for analyzing/operating VR properties?

I would like to know what analytical tools have any of you utilized to track the market?

Are you looking to generate reports and analytics that will provide actionable business intelligence?

Then you meet them at that point in their decision process.I noticed a lot of engineers and more analytical thinkers responded well to this.

To do this successfully takes A LOT of knowledge, experience, analytical ability, negotiating smarts and hard work.
