TASK1

Construct a table showing the successive buy phases. Indicate which of these phases each of the three different types of products that SSS offers would be likely to go through in a typical purchase situation.

How should it manage the buy phases in situations where it is ‘in’ supplier?

• Computer consumables: More people are likely to need spare computer parts such as memory sticks, hard drives, printer supplies etc. therefore computer consumables are more likely to go through in a typical purchase situation.

TASK2

Prepare a grid showing the three main buy classes- straight rebuy, modified rebuy and new task – and outline situations in which these might typically apply to each of the products SSS offers. For each buy class, assess the chances of SSS winning a trial sale and suggest how it might go about achieving this aim.

• Straight rebuy: Straight rebuy is when the customer and the supplier have built enough trust and gone through the 7 step organisational buy phase that within a single call the customer will be able to make a order and tell the supplier exactly what he needs and how many and when he needs it by. So if SSS was to call its supplier it would be able to just call the supplier and

• New task: This is when SSS’s supplier will come up with a completely different product and if the customer is not happy with...
