The Advantage of A Consultant
If you hired a consultant to research software for you, he would follow a specific methodology and perform a variety of valuable functions for you. He would be very valuable because he would prevent you from making a poor, sometimes overly emotional, decision by applying an objective approach to his research. That is what you pay him for. In a perfect world everybody should have a consultant to help them purchase technology.
But, if you're like most florists, you don't know where to find a good consultant. If you're one of the lucky ones that does, you'll find that they're certainly not cheap and it can often take a fair bit of time before you see the results of their work. Especially if they are not familiar with the floral industry, which is usually the case. So you're paying to educate them on our industry which costs you extra before they can actually get down to doing what you really need them to do.
The Inevitable Problem
So as you can see, most florists try to do it themselves. They venture out to apply whatever knowledge they have to find the right system for their business. They haven't clearly defined their needs, they are not familiar with the differences in available technology and their impact on their business and they usually don't have a lot of time to do the research anyway.
They get into the thick of evaluating systems. They feel pressure and anxiety. They are swayed first this way and then that way. Finally, to end the usually trying process, they make a decision with great faith and great resolve. They really hope they have made the right one and secretly worry that they haven't made the wrong one.
Does this sound like anybody you know? We thought so. We have seen this all too often. We usually hear about it after the fact. We meet a lot of shopowners who are fairly unhappy with their purchase and vow that they would "do it differently" if they had to do it all again.
