                                                    The emerging best practice is to focus
                                                    on what’s called the “Buyer’s Journey”
                                                    in a way that leads  the buyer  down
                                                    a  cognitive  journey  of  discovery  and
                                                    decision.

                        We know that buyers buy according to their buying patterns.
                        Before now, there have been enough buyers who matched our
                        selling patterns.  But we can’t play those odds anymore.
                        Now we must eschew our selling patterns and match their
                        buying patterns.
