38. The buying decision process

39. The Buying Decision 39 • Ultimate buying decision made by IT professional • Seemingly technical decision but… • Usually IT managers don’t know RF and wireless! • Mostly IT managers have networking background • Uses: • Other IT Co-workers & Friends • Internet • Direct Marketing Company Recommendations • Magazines • Trade Shows Usually Attended By IT Management

40. Discover the need and Migrate to similar areas • schools -> libraries • Water -> Gas • police -> fire->EMS Leverage on existing infrastructure Road map to success 40 Start where there is Money (Budget, Funds, Grants, Person ) • Economic development • Public Safety • Specific need Start where there is a Need • Location • Population Density • Geographical (physical) structure Build the relationship and Develop other needs • City management
