How Customers Buy… & Why They Don’t

In business, nothing happens until somebody buys something. And most businesses have a very good idea of why a prospective customer should buy their offering but lack critical knowledge about how their customers actually buy and are often blind to why they may not. As a result of extensive research, How Customers Buy…And Why They Don’t offers a formula for understanding any Customer Buying Journey. The book provides the approach to developing a strategy and a sales and marketing approach to successfully navigate and positively impact that buying journey. Whether you are an executive, in management, an entrepreneur, an investor, a marketer, or a sales person, reading what Martyn has to say will radically change what you do and how successful you will be as a result.

Martyn R. Lewis is an acclaimed business professional with a vast background in all aspects of revenue generation. Born and educated in the UK, he emigrated to Canada in the early 80’s s and now resides in the Napa area of northern California. His beliefs were shaped and honed over two decades in corporate sales and marketing, starting as a front-line sales person and eventually rising to CEO of a multinational, which included hundreds of sales people under his responsibility. In the mid-90s, he started his own company, Market-Partners Inc. (www.market-partners.com) interacting with many clients and most importantly with many of their customers. His consulting work uncovered the disconcerting fact that while most of his clients were doing good work presenting a good product, the results all too often suggested otherwise. After seeing this phenomenon so many times, it was obvious to him that something was missing; there was something more at play and he needed to find out.
