Defining the Adoption Problem
Buyer Adoption by Design SM
Do Not Distribute without Permission © Social Gastronomy LLC 2013
Peer-Influenced Panoramic Market
Commercially
Available
“Deconstruct” the market to “Reconstruct” the “Big Picture” view of the
complexity sufficient to anticipate the buyers’ different perspectives
There’s been a shift in complex BtoB buying from
2D (vendor-driven) to 3D (peer-influenced)
How does your buyer view your interactions in the market?
Do they see that you are helping to solve their problem?

Market Adoption:
Technology as Solution
Newopticalillisuons.blogspot.com
Which has empowered buyers to “redefine” their
own adoption
Your Definition:
Getting the market to
adopt your technology or
innovation by evangelizing
your solution
Buyers are Redefining Adoption: From Recognition of Pain How Well They Solved the Problem
Buyer Adoption:
Solution to Problem
Their Definition:
How an individual buyer
goes about solving a
particular problem and
what technology/tools/
knowledge they need to
adopt in order to solve
their problem.
Sometimes, focus transforms the picture….

So, where do you account for the dimensionality of
buyer adoption in what you’re doing today?
Marketing
Business Development
Sales
Do Not Distribute without Permission © Social Gastronomy LLC 2013
Or, are you just frustrated with your market adoption?
 No visibility to when active buyers enter the market
 Not reaching them early enough or getting close enough to
influence their buying decisions
 Missing opportunities because we didn’t make their short list
 If/when they engage, they come prepared with their
requirements with little influence from us
 Tactical sponsor can’t make the strategic business case or
internal consensus to make a decision

Are your buyers (and you) getting stuck in diagnosing
their underlying problem?

I don’t know what I am looking
for…. I start with my pain… I am
looking for people who understand
and can point me in the right
direction.

Do you even know how they go about doing that?
Many possible solutions, but how
do they decide what to adopt?
How does your technical
solution solve my business
problem?
What problem(s)
does your target
buyers need to
solve?
How do they prioritize decisions
as a business?
How do you help them make
decisions? When?
How do they diagnose the
underlying cause from all of
the symptoms?
