Choice isn’t obvious for Sales...

For most of my childhood I had craved for choices. More options for products/services at lesser prices, with outstanding functionality, higher quality and most importantly easier to access & use were real essential factors that I have always looked out for. Choices were like the thing you are willing to go out for – pay and explore...

But that’s really the past...

From butter to bread to cars – you have 12 different variants of each in the market today -- with multiple colours, shapes and prices. Making the assumption that consumers want 'choice' is a big question and that’s the thing that most marketers and producers fail to understand.

Choice is triggered by a deeply rooted social/cultural behaviour and merely reproducing a flavour without that understanding might lead to disappointment. Imagine developing, selling and surviving your new company that produces TV or a new payroll package. Is price, productivity, better technology and maybe marketing good enough for your target customers to switch over?




Think friends, think ...

Best,
