For well ‘ME’asured shopping experiences.. take Monitor Evaluators along..

Shopping is shopping. What does thinking have to do with it? When you shop, you shop”. Do you agree? If you did, you haven’t gone shopping with a BELBIN Monitor Evaluator (ME) yet.

The ME’s way of consideration of a purchase is to analyze it. They have a ‘why’, a ‘why not’, a ‘what if’.. for everything. That includes what they buy, who they buy it from, how much they pay, and when. To an ME, like other decisions, shopping is about well analyzed, considered choice. To measure, monitor and evaluate comes naturally to an ME.

Selling to an ME Shopper can be an ordeal for a Salesperson. “Is he buying a safety pin or buying my shop?!” | “Why does he check online for everything I have to say?” | “God! What will be his next objection?” | “So, there he goes again.. ‘let me think over it and come back’.. will he.. won’t he? | “How can one be so dry and boring?.. and more. To an amateur Salesperson, an ME Shopper can be more of a devil than a devil’s advocate. But then, selling to ME’s could count among their most valuable learning experiences.

They may be slow and critical of trying out that new strawberry flavored cereal. If they aren’t convinced you can be pretty sure they have a damn good reason. Shopping with an ME shopper may not always be an exciting experience. But hey! Did we hear you say “Often the reason I buy something is because it excites me”? If yes, taking along a Monitor Evaluator may be a great idea!

How much of a monitor evaluator do you have in you?
