I am sharing with you 4 examples to take you though the buying process steps for each example: Upgrade business server, buy a new car, move your kid to a new school and change your mobile phone operator. The stages are the same in all cases .. read and enjoy and if you need me to develop the steps for any other case just give me a shout ... I'm always there and ready to help
