What is the New Buying Cycle? • Lets make it easier to explain the concept with a story: I am a long distance runner that competes in half marathons and marathons. I’ve been doing this for a while and
quite satisfied with my performance to date. I am in a “calm” state, I don’t want to BUY anything at this point. I suddenly find that I am experiencing pain in my knees and lower legs when I run very long distances. And it seems
to persist. Something “changed” or “shattered my status quo” I now think I have a problem. So I “Google” the symptoms and I find quite a few blogs, websites, wikis and articles that describe these symptoms
and I start to see a pattern. Most of them point to the fact that my running shoes may be the culprit. They have supporting statistics and
evidence and I am now pretty confident that I have “framed my problem”. My current running shoes don’t fit my style of running and the anatomy of my foot (Damn sales person who didn’t
know this when they sold me the shoes, I won’t trust sales people anymore and just do my own buying research).
Now I “look for solutions” that will solve my specific problem. I find a few different brands (and price ranges) of
shoes and I refer back to those initial sites that helped me frame the problem to see if they have the shoes that will solve my problem. I trust them more as they understood my initial problem better.
I now “look for feedback” from other runners (peers) to see if they had positive experiences with the vendors and
products. I read some reviews and look at testimonials. I find that I need a special pair of running shoes that cost much more than I initially spent on my previous pair. I am
comfortable with the model, style and brand (even though I spend more) and I now “look for a provider”.
I am now ready to buy. Brought to you by www.yocal.co.za
