DISADVANTAGES OF TRADITIONAL METHODS
Internet Web Site or Profile - Beyond any Comparison :
Comparison
with
Printed Literature :
Cost of printed material is very high.
You have to buy more printed quantity for the cost effect.
If data changes or if there is a mistake, it can not be changed, so becomes a waste.
It is not practical to put
entire business information in literature
If done so, it will be a
very big bunch of papers, as well it will be difficult to refer.
May reach to people, even when there is no need, hence can be a waste.
When there is need, one is diverted to, who is easily accessible on Internet.
Comparison
with
Business Meeting In Person :
Seller
reaches to buyer even when there is no requirement or a change of supplier.
Buyer & Seller are not pro listener in meeting as in reading process.
Meeting is always as per buyer's ease & wish, not as per seller's.
If venue is Buyer's office & when no urgency, it becomes very tough to
tackle.
In Buyer's place, Seller can be cornered by all departmental heads, at a time.
If venue is hotel it is at Buyer's Convenience & at Seller's Cost.
Unless it is a Buyer's timely need, it is presented as a Buyer is obliging
a Seller.
Both the buyer & seller, being competent, it may lead to ego problem.
Seller being at receiving end, may not get time to convey his complete message.
Seller can not tell all good & big about the business unless asked for.
