- I started looking at my personal buying behavior in 1995….it appeared like yesterday – it was 15 years ago folks. Remember what was “in”? Braveheart was the number 1 movieThe truth came out when OJ was found innocentLook at this…isn’t she a beauty…1974 caprice classic. The first car….9 miles per gallon… I would not take this purchase lightly….I would have done due diligence.
- Let’s walk through how I chose to purchase this fine machineFirst is my brand perception…shaped by culture, advertising personl/ friend experitce….remember John Struass – CoolAt this point I think about what I want to buy – have bias but want to confirm/validate choice.Next I’m going to do a little due diligence….I’m going see what 3rd party experts and non experts have to say…Going to read consumer reports (Consumer reports Australia – CHOICE)…I’m going to talk to my friends Social Communication may be one to one – maybe one to several….phone, personal interactionsSeek outside expertise – goto library look in magazineHunt in newspaper for used cars – peruse newspaper cicrulars…Head on down for a test drive – international squeeky guy – car salesman
- Consumer reports Australia – CHOICE Social Communication may be one to one – One to many – Blog,email, facebook, Twitter, maybe one to several….By the time you make it to the salesman you have more information than you could have ever have dreamed of.
- Prior to 1995 there were clear lines of distinction between sales and marketing – Marketing generated leads and interest –Sales took them through the processToday prospects are generating their own insights and opinions – they’re entering the sales funnel later and WOM plays a critical role through the process….Marketing, information gathering plays a strong role throughout the process
