Synopsis

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.

About the Author

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.

Mr. Lewis consults globally and his work been used across 44 countries, in 17 languages, and has impacted over 85,000 sales professionals. He is internationally recognized as an extraordinary speaker, having delivered numerous keynote addresses live, on radio and television and he is a pioneer in utilizing webinar technology to deliver effective training through his sister company, 3GS (www.3gselling.com).
