Notes de l'éditeur

  1. I’ve spent over 20 years working in marketing but the last 12 years of my career I have specialised in working with retailers. And I can tell you there is no better school than retail, to study the science of buying. Now interestingly, when I work with these very sales focused organisations I have noticed that they spend an awful lot of time developing strategies around how to sell stuff. But they spend far less time thinking about how people buy stuff. And that’s interesting because the buying bit is the bit that matters. Now this is true of businesses that sell products and services… But I have also worked extensively with executives and management teams helping them ‘sell in’ the concepts and strategies that we have developed, to their teams... And the same principals apply. What matters is not how well can we sell the ideas. What matters is whether our people will buy them. So to understand that... We need to understand the Science of Buying. The first thing to be aware of, is that the way people buy makes no sense whatsoever. We’re all crazy. Every year I travel around the world looking at consumer trends and retail innovation. And last year I was in London and I was walking down Regent Street, when I came across this queue...
