Product Management: Evaluate product as buyer would

As a product manager, I occasionally think about why I made a decision to buy something.  It helps me understand what buyer is going through when they make a purchase decision.  Idea is to get inside of buyer's mind so that you can overcome objections and respond with the most appropriate answer for each buyer.

When I look at my buying decisions, I consider following:

1. Figure out what it does.

2. Estimate how often I will be using it, and divide the price by frequency to get to per usage charge.

3. Can I live without it?  Do I need it now?

4. What do other people say about it?

5. Do the design and the brand represent me?

I could use this every morning.
