Understanding FMCG Buyers

First, seek to understand.

The first step to building better relationships is empathy, i.e. walking in the other person's shoes.

THE SAME APPROACH APPLIES TO BUYERS:

Making changes to list a new product, launch an event or trial a different kind of promotional mechanic all require buyers to take decisions.

Each one of these decisions involves varying levels of risk for a buyer.

So it helps to step into the BUYER'S shoes and contemplate how risky your proposal is - compared to all the other proposals sitting on their desk or in their inbox

We created the Buyer Risk Model based on the Ansoff matrix - the more "new" variables you introduce, the higher the risk (and usually the higher the potential).
