If you’re a new business owner, you already know: you’re the chief cook and bottle washer, main sales guy, marketing guru, CFO and everything else all in one. But exactly how DO we get people to buy something? What is that journey that we as consumers or even B2B (business-to-business) buyers go through in order to make a purchase? Well here are some basics to give you a framework to work with. In this episode, you’ll learn the following fundamentals of customer journeys:
- THE OLD SCHOOL: AIDA: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action
- THE NEW SCHOOL: The 5 A’s: Aware, Appeal, Ask, Act, Advocate
- THE TRIED & TRUE: One everyone should know – Know, Like & Trust
You can quickly check out the basics behind these concepts in the YouTube video below or via our podcast on iTunes (both release at 8pm Tues. April 17, 2018). QUESTIONS?: What questions do you have about customer journeys? Let us know below!
