Even if the competition doesn't claim to do it the right way, my
experience has been that as a small systems consultant you get a *lot*
of pushback from clients who somehow feel that, though they don't
understand what you do, they can somehow figure out what they do and
don't need.

Revision control has been a huge barrier for me in some organizations.
If I can manage to roll out it out to the OLs and folks who can't even
use a spreadsheet, things go just fine. But all too frequently someone
with just a wee bit more tech. knowledge (sometimes even a lot more)
is usually spending more time trying to make sure that nobody in their
organization ever gets close to Git than they are trying to get actual
work done.
