And of course, as Dell’s bold triggered overlay test illustrates, there are exceptions and surprises, and we have to keep on testing to uncover them.

“In B2B sales cycle often there are more than 1 person who are going to make purchase decision. And upto a certain level in B2C cycle also there are very few decisions based on the sole decision making of a single person. Consider this for every significant investment such as buying a new car or house a person is going to ask many people for advise these people can be his/her spouse, friends ,co workers etc. In B2B also no single person has full authority to make new purchasing decisions without taking their seniors, co-workers in confidence. Most often the person who is going to make the decision will not be using the product/service himself instead the people who will be using the product/service will play an important role in buying process but they rarely have the authority to make purchasing decisions.”

“

The evolution of various messaging applications have clouded our thinking. It’s better just to describe how people are communicating.

Communication can be text, pictures, voice or videos. It can be instant or asynchronous. It can be private, semi-private or public. It can be on-on-one, one-to-many or many-to-many.

The coming wearable computing revolution is squeezing all these options into single messaging applications, whether you wear computing or not.
