One way is give free copies to consultants (not the demo because it lacks
obvious
functions like the ability to apply service packs) who travel from company
to company.
The convincing would be done by example rather than word. Is there a good
tutorial
type book on the market? I have not seen one. It could show how to do many
of the
'neat' things including writing macros, etc. I think that would  help also.
