Consulting

Buyer journey

The journey now begins before you know it has, in places you do not control, and it is largely finished by the time anyone makes contact. The work is being present, and being verifiable, in those places.

The work

  1. 01

    What we look at

    Where the buyer forms the shortlist, what they can and cannot verify about you there, and which questions go unanswered until a conversation that may never happen.

  2. 02

    What changes

    The answers get moved to where the questions are being asked, in a form a machine can read and a person can trust.

  3. 03

    How it is tested

    By whether someone can get from never having heard of you to being ready to decide, without speaking to anyone.

What this is not

  • Buying attention that leads somewhere unprepared to receive it.
  • Anything that depends on the buyer behaving as they did a decade ago.

Lens 03 · The confidence journey

What you receive, and what each artefact is for.

This surface is rebuilt inside the the confidence journey lens of the method. These are the artefacts that come out of it — yours, written down, and legible to someone who was not in the room.

Buyer Confidence Journey
The whole route mapped as one object, from first awareness through to reactivation.
Touchpoint standards
What each point of contact must do, and what it is not allowed to cost the buyer.
Objection-resolution map
Where each doubt actually forms, and where it is answered.
Implementation backlog
The ordered list of what to change, with the sequence argued rather than assumed.

Depth varies by engagement. Which of these apply, and how far each is taken, is stated in the written proposal after the diagnosis.

Ask what this looks like for your business.

The diagnosis comes first, and it tells us whether this is even the part that is broken.
