Get the worst out of your
site first, and you will have good options to choose. Decision making is
considered as a significant factor among the best world leaders and management
gurus. For almost everyone, it’s an
everyday situation of “to be or not to
be”. Asking suggestions from others without doing and pre-work on the
subject will lead you to disarray. Therefore, doing a comprehensive study,
gathering necessary details, feedback and finalizing the options are the basic
tasks you need to do before seeking people’s suggestions.
I personally feel that when
you are not sure what to choose or what to do (having no list of options),
others will just add options more than your need unnecessary. Be it buying new
mobile, camera, bike or car, you must do research on the subject matter. To
decide something very important, getting an idea from someone will be
definitely helpful. But asking many intellects may create chaotic situation.
Different intellects may have diverse opinions with ample amount of examples
and good logic to support their idea. At this stage, even after taking all
suggestions you are surrounded by the multiple choices with no clue.
In this blog, I have discussed
three steps before you directly seek others’ suggestions and idea. This could
help you in resolving many complicated questions without being questioned by
yourself again!
First step is to study the
subject from both ends: your requirement (need/expectations), and the
limitations of available source. Before mounting a heap of your necessities
boundlessly, think about the limit point of sources and products. It’s not
necessary that whatever you want should be available in market. Sometimes, it’s
not possible to put all best gears and gadgets into a single package. They
aren’t giving you everything as just what you expect; they want you to choose
from the choices they are providing (sad part of the topic). Do a good study to
frame your needs.
Secondly, gather all
essential details regarding the product you want to buy. These details include
pros and cons, user feedback, reviews, features, reliability and competitive
analysis. These details will help you finding the perfect match for your needs.
It will also make you aware of fake advertisements and biased opinions that
misguide you by making you more confused.
Next, filtering the options
based on the reviews and feedback. Use your conscience to sort the options
taking into account your interest and needs, and feedback given by people who
have enough experience of the product. The best way to sort out the best from
the bundle of choices is to apply “odd
man out” method. Using this theory you can easily eliminate options that
don’t suit your interest. This helps when you have lots of choices in the same
category. Therefore, instead of accumulating many suitable numbers, take out
what is not fitting your condition.
Finally, limit the choices to
maximum 3 numbers and throw them for other to suggest. Here, you may not get
confused learning different views on the given choices as there are just three
options. You can easily understand the best among them.
Study, gather data, filter,
final the options and ask people to honestly suggest the best from your given
options only.
