This past summer my wife and I took advantage of our kids being at camp by going on vacation to what most would consider to be a high-end luxury property (we used hotel points). It was a great trip. The property was beautiful. The service was friendly. They were attentive to my wife's dietary needs, and over several days they came to know us and began to anticipate our preferences. Tea instead of coffee. Extra side of crispy bacon. Our last night, one of the waiters whom we had gotten to know pretty well did some card tricks at our table. It was a great week.
A few days after returning home, I got a survey from our hotel, and here's where things went off track. "Tell us how we did by completing this short survey." You probably know what comes next: A long online questionnaire that asked standard questions about how clean the rooms were, how enjoyable my stay was, etc. It felt like the questions were about someone else's trip. On vacation, they knew us so well. What happened?

Elon Musk once famously said, “The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur.” I was 24 years old when I traveled to Ethiopia and witnessed firsthand the dire health conditions of the local population. Access to medicine was virtually non-existent. I wanted to change that. I wanted the locals to know that someone cared about their plight and was going to try to help them. So, I set aside my professional ambitions and sought to solve this problem. Over the course of the next six months, I vehemently studied pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical supply chains, pharmaceutical delivery and pharmaceutical packaging technologies.

QR codes never really took off in the West. I had nothing against them, just their implementation (on a creative and a technical level). However, I wanted one at the weekend so I could leave feedback about a store visit.
Buying turf
I bought some turf at the weekend. After checking out, the cashier pointed to the bottom of my receipt and encouraged me to leave feedback for the chance to win a prize.To leave my feedback I had to visit a URL. Without even looking at what the URL was, I figured I couldn't be bothered leaving feedback.
Why was that?

Evolutions in the buyer journey, coupled with rampant rhetoric, is sapping the credibility of B2B tech vendors. The buyer journey is in an enhanced state of flux for all businesses these days, but discussions around this trend tend to revolve around B2C brands. B2B marketers, it seems, are equally struggling with adapting to new customer behaviors, but they have the added problem of a lack of credibility.
