About

Way back in 1970's, Frederick E. Webster and Yoram Wind, two renowned professors of Industrial Marketing developed a special 'buying center' concept for structuring large scale sales in the complex environment of corporate world. The concept consisted of 3 important aspects: Composition, Influence, and Roles. He suggested 'Roles' to be a 5 step model. Later in 1980's it was further expanded by Thomas Bonoma, and from its 5 step model it was turned into a 6 step model known as Six Buying Roles.

These 6 Roles include:

First, Initiator, it is the person or a system that identifies the buying need for a specific product or service.

Second, Influencer, it is the person or a group that influences the buying ideas, plans and decisions of a person, system, or an entire organizational set up.

Third, Decider, a 'decider' is a person or group who actually approves either the whole or a part of the buying decision that comprises of whether or not to buy, what to buy, how, when and where to buy, and so on.

Fourth, Buyer, is the person who has the formal authority to select the supplier or the provider from where the buying has to be done as well as to arrange various terms of condition.

Fifth on the list is the User, who is actually going to consume or use the product or service.

Sixth and final is the Gatekeeper who controls the information or the access and sometimes both of them to the people who influence as well as those who make the buying decision.
