We all know what it’s like to go into a shop to browse when an aggressive salesperson approaches as soon as you enter the door and offers to “assist.” It makes you want to run out of the shop. That’s a salesperson who doesn’t understand the Buyer’s Journey.

In this episode of Building Success Stories, producer Seth Cooper and I discuss the Buyer's Journey and the stages a person goes through before, during, and after deciding to purchase.

Considering these stages in all aspects of your digital marketing makes you more likely to engage the person, turn them into a solid lead, and then a loyal customer.
