If we are any good at what we do, we spend a lot of time trying to get inside the minds of buyers. You ask yourself:
- What do they want?
- What do I need say in order to get a chance of unseating an incumbent vendor?
- What should I do to make myself heard among all the other printers out there?
These are all tough questions; and there is no one set of “right” answers. Some of you might be thinking, “If I could answer all those questions, I would have the keys to the kingdom!” And to some extent, you might be right.
