Key Point – MSPs are increasingly not involved at all in customer buying decisions.

For many businesses of all sizes for all technologies.

 – 68% of self-service initial purchases made on vendor websites involve dollar amounts up to $250,000.

– Plus 56% of B2B purchases by Millennials using digital sources are completed with self-service tools. 

– And Forrester added “Buying practices have changed faster than selling practices have, and buyers are in control.”

Here are five survival must-have strategies.

1 – Isolate and insulate – security begins at the beginning and never ends.

Starting and growing a business is not just digital.

It is but virtual and security occurs with everyone and everywhere and on every device.

2 – Communicate – more than constant emails, webinars, time to personalize beyond the buyer.

Forrest said “they don’t want office calls, demos, “after hours” events.

These new buyers have a new lifestyle, recognize that, embrace it and adapt faster.

3 – Iterate – AI is just one example of a “firestorm” of technology.

There will also be thousands of new technologies, processes, devices coming.

With more that may and more likely may not impact next-generation buyers.

But be ready to accommodate to do more.

Who are socially, environmentally and politically different.

4 – Collaborate – realize you want to be their go-to-first for anything.

But ready that more and more parts, products will be needed and used. 

Marketplace competition brings new ideas and opportunities.

5 – Innovate – show you are innovating faster without dictating.

but involving, demoing, immersing and opening to new everything.

Bottom-line – 68% buying self-service is only going to rise by all companies.

This is a “red alert” as “obliterate” is coming next.
