How well do you know how to use this strategy in your routine?

>>>

Well, I made this question yesterday, and a few people already answered?. But I deleted the journal without reading them?. so sorry?. I missed them

Since I tried to explain what I was thinking? in order that you guys would get my point?. but, unfortunately, I was confused myself?.lol?. so I gave up?too early : )

Push-Pull Strategy is used in term of marketing and supply chain. The key components are producer, customer and product?

For my question, let say?

Producer = I

Customer = the others

Product = myself (for exp. Gender, age, appearance, clothes etc.)

And in any relationship or interaction?. somehow we (or I) perceive ourselves (or myself) as a product? presented to the others (= customers)??

so I made the (confusing) question as above?. And sorry if I made you guys confused?.

Ok?

I hope you weren't trying to "clarify" what message you were trying to convey because it didn't work...

i don't get it ;'(

Producer = I

Customer = the others

Product = myself (for exp. Gender, age, appearance, clothes etc.)

I know and understand this marketing term very well.

But for relationships or friendships I think it is very dangerous and unnecessary. Human relationships are about give and take, cooperation, understanding and trust... not 'push or pull' ...like in marketing.

If someone were to really be thinking in these terms with their friendships and love, then it would seem as though they are playing 'games' and not really being genuine in life. I would perhaps even view them as insecure and rather cold-hearted or calculating.

I certainly wouldn't want this kind of shallow person as a friend or a loving partner.

In friendship and in love, no-one should feel they need to 'sell' themselves or manipulate or to have any 'strategy' or 'agenda' at all... and thinking in these terms will probably only bring confusion, poor communication and probably disappointment and hurt.

People are not 'products' or 'customers' or even 'producers' in relationships or love.... they are people.

PeeMarc is right kha... I tried to post that yesterday. Dear, I think I have no theory nor strategy for relationship and friendship na...

For my friends and my love one, I never use what I have learn with them, sometimes I think I should have a reason, thoery but mostly... It base on nothing.

Yes sometimes we can adapt or apply for working for our boss and colleages... but not with our love ones.

by the way AAAum... how does your favourite word 'serendipity' fit in with this "routine" or "theory"?

Not to offend you my love and I'm following you...next month i'll be 29 but thats not my point

my point is

I never trust in any theories in life, love or friendship. Even when I believe so much what 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says about 'love' but I don't hold it so dear that it would be a ruler or a rail that my train of life should run on.

Of course, it may not be 'wise' if you only do what you kinda feel like to. Cuz not all the time that we are all wise or in the stage to make wise decision.

Life itself is difficult and complicated, lets just live it-find out what works best for you.

I love quotes but let me tell you..live your life and make your own quote a legend-thats better than living any theory !!!!

with all of my love to you ...Pochacco

well, in defence of AAA, I might consider my father and his experience with push strategy. He hired an Internet matchmaking service and did the work, answered the profile questions which took hours and wore him down a lot. In the end the matchmaker introduced him to a nice woman from Rio de Janeiro.

Push and Pull strategies often make use of distributors who "push" the products onto the retail sector usually by pushing them through to retail and often bundling them with other items. Pull is using advertising and such to create demand in the consumers. It is a bit of a stretch but this could be said that his using a matchmaking service is akin to using a push strategy.

In the end I think she probably meant to comment on how much do you consider "going after the one you like" vs "being coy and playing the one who is pursued", and again in fairness there is usually one person who is pursued by another in the beginning of most romantic relationships.

you could be right about this Jack.... I certainly hope you are.

it would be the first time this week

hahah....nevermind....i am rarely right these days mate... seems to be a whole world of confusion... and its always my fault....lol

Uneducated customers would be tricked to purchase a product because of the look of its package. However, educated ones look beyond that. It's not about the appearance of the product or its package; it's about the quality, durability.. and basically because the customer feels comfortable with that product.

I hope I'm giving good analogy here.. LOL

Someone say the product, you need to buy and take your first try because you need to understand the product before you sell it. You need clear knowledge in product and tips such as to sell insurance. Not always true, for some product.

You can not be a professional saleman, just because you buy and try its. Human relations and sincerity are important.

Somehow we can say about abstraction to compare the marketting with the relationships but about the strategy, I don't think we need to think about it. By abstraction, I should realize my stand point while I'm giving a presentation, I should know the customer wanted.

The relationship is the same needed, human relations and sincerity, no need experience. No need to buy or first try. Need only giving. :-)

blah, etc...

At last you two have moved to the next level and are now discussing your sex life in public

Keep pushing and pulling, huffing and puffing (in the market or where ever else you choose)

The product will be a baby (though I'm not sure I'm ready to watch the birth here) ho-ho-ho
