HOW THE CUSTOMER THINKS – THE METHODOLOGY


                                               •  We measured each
                                               respondent on the preference
                                               for all 16 possible mindsets.

                                               •  Then we looked to identify
                                               the key patterns of thinking

                                               •  We have previously
                                               identified 37 possible patterns
                                               of thinking.

THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINKING


       DEFENDERS
With the hours I work, and the thanks I don’t get, the last thing I need is
people coming in here with expensive new stuff. I know what sells here & I
know what wont sell in this place.

     DEAL MAKERS
We run a good profitable business here, because we carefully assess the
risks & benefits with everything we do. I make sure my suppliers know
what they need to deliver to improve our return on investment.

    DISCOVERERS
 We are not like other businesses, people come here because they know
 that we always have something new & different. We pride ourselves on
 the quality of our products and service and are always on the lookout for
                                                                              n = 360

DEFENDERS – DOING BUSINESS:


 •      Very loyal when they feel they’re being looked after
 •      Often come across as Negative, doubters, with little
        trust for suppliers
 •      Regularly pointing out that their buy price is not fair
        compared with what is being offered to others
 •      Very wary of new products
 •      Very careful about doing something differently                      Insert
 •      Short term focus, it’s the next promotion, not the plan
        that matters
 •      Will buy impulsively if they think the deal is off the
        table when you walk out

                                                                  n = 360

DEFENDERS - BUSINESS IMPLICATIONS


•       These customers are focused on the basics, and will
        be single minded on suppliers delivering a fair deal on
        everyday brands…. Get that wrong and all else will be
        meaningless
•       New products are a tough sell, you may be more
        effective gaining trial by bundling offers with a tried
        and trusted brand
                                                                            Insert
•       Deals and margins are calculated in dollars, not
        percentages!!!
•       Volume based rewards or deals are a winner
•       If there are merch and gift based promotions on
        everyday brands, make sure you call on them first.

        invested in – in this case not calling them first would
        be a big mistake
•       Whilst they know the boundaries and stay well within
        theirs, they will be determined to stretch supplier
        boundaries.
•       They will demand & critically judge supplier effort and
        commitment as a mark of the relationship                  n = 360

DISCOVERERS - BUSINESS IMPLICATIONS


        • These customers are focused on the relationship and will
        judge the behaviour and loyalty of a supplier representative
        on the sharing of information and level of recognition given
        to them
        • They are always scanning the marketplace – whilst they
        are not price sensitive per se, they will know a good and a
        bad deal when they see one
        • Margin management is a shared responsibility
        • Preferential and selected distribution is an expectation               Insert

THE IMPLICATIONS OF DEALING WITH DIFFERENT MINDSETS


 The implications for trade going forward are:
 •      The ability of the supplier to adapt new offers to the
        varying customer expectations
 •      The need to segment the customer by the areas that
        influence tomorrows sale rather than yesterdays
 •      More effectively engage the customer by being more
        effective at appealing to what matters to them           Vertical blinds of all three market pictures
 •      Generate more ROI by anticipating the adoption rate
        of new products or promotions by customer type or
        channel

OUR WORKING EXAMPLE – RESTAURANT CHANNEL



 •   In the Restaurant channel the
 thinking is clearly led by
 Discoverers
 •  Communications to this channel
 should favour this thinking and
 allow for Deal Makers
 •  For example: if you were launching a unique new product to this market you
 would target Discoverers to accelerate trial and on the basis of this trial and referral
 be selling secondly to the Deal Makers , who will generally require some track record
 •  Alternately, if you were promoting a strong existing brand, most effort should be
 directed at Deal Makers. Discoverers, will be enticed, if they can “do it differently”.

HOW DO THEY THINK THEY ARE PERFORMING


 Our measurement of business performance pre-
 supposes the fact that perception is reality.
 We simply measure the perception of
 performance across a number of variables by
 asking:                                                      Need an image here that depicts the face

OUR WORKING EXAMPLE – RESTAURANT CHANNEL

of thinking in Restaurants
(Discoverers), you could expect
more focus on the Tomorrow and
External dimensions of the
business.

Deal Makers, this channel wide dissatisfaction, sets a new ground rule:
     •  The difficulty for suppliers to get “air time” & return on effort.
     •  Delays in decision making on new opportunities / products
     •  The opportunity for the supplier to grow through turn-key solutions / activity

  • 27. OUR WORKING EXAMPLE – RESTAURANT CHANNEL •  In the Restaurant channel the thinking is clearly led by Discoverers •  Communications to this channel should favour this thinking and allow for Deal Makers •  For example: if you were launching a unique new product to this market you would target Discoverers to accelerate trial and on the basis of this trial and referral be selling secondly to the Deal Makers , who will generally require some track record •  Alternately, if you were promoting a strong existing brand, most effort should be directed at Deal Makers. Discoverers, will be enticed, if they can “do it differently”.
