02 / 06 — OBSERVE. DERIVE. TEST.

From research
to rules.

Research defines the risks. Fictional cases make them testable.

Fictional monochrome design study with blank paper, leather and thread
RESEARCH INTO PRACTICEORIGINAL GENERATED STILL LIFE

Start with the journey

Awareness, consideration, purchase, post-purchase engagement and loyalty explain why the advisor is writing. The six required scenarios sit across this journey; reactivation addresses a break in it. A recommendation answers a use question. A greeting marks a milestone. Neither should accidentally become the other.

Turn CRM into context

Acquisition, engagement, retention and reactivation call for different levels of familiarity. Owned items, explicit interests, time since contact and any stated reason for silence become test variables. An unknown reason stays unknown; a marketing refusal remains a boundary.

Make facts usable

Material, capacity, compartments, carry options, price and care policy form the product evidence. Missing fields are omitted. Price objections use confirmed value and a suitable alternative; care concerns use safe guidance or boutique assessment, without promised fees, timing or outcomes.

Design the failure, too

Each principle should suggest a risk worth testing: invented capacity, a sales pitch inside a birthday greeting, an invitation with fake scarcity, or a repair guarantee. These are design criteria, not a claim that every risk already has sufficient coverage in the current fifty cases.

THE DERIVATION CHAIN

ResearchObserved needPUNTO ruleFictional case

The source determines what to question. It supplies no real client, purchase or private conversation.

Twenty working principles.

  1. P01

    One person, one reason

    Name the advisor, address the client and write for this specific moment.

  2. P02

    Answer the research

    Use confirmed material, capacity and price facts to answer the actual question.

  3. P03

    Personalise with evidence

    Use stated needs and owned items; segment descriptions are not personal facts.

  4. P04

    Support self-expression

    Talk about use and taste, never wealth, status or social superiority.

  5. P05

    Respect attention

    Keep the next step small, optional and easy to decline.

  6. P06

    Write for WeChat

    Use short, natural sentences. A blessing can end without a sales question.

  7. P07

    Remember the milestone

    A birthday or festival is a relationship moment, not a reason to insert a product.

  8. P08

    Treat capacity as a claim

    Match the real carry need to supplied capacity; do not invent what fits.

  9. P09

    Listen before advising

    Acknowledge a care concern and clarify only what is still unknown.

  10. P10

    Keep care bounded

    Use supplied safe-care instructions; assessment replaces remote diagnosis and promises.

  11. P11

    Reconnect gently

    Open with a relevant human reason, rather than a launch or an offer.

  12. P12

    Read the silence

    Busy, dissatisfied and opted out are different states. Do not assume why someone left.

  13. P13

    No win-back pressure

    The first reconnection should not rely on discounts, urgency or repeated chasing.

  14. P14

    Make access meaningful

    Explain why an event fits this client, using confirmed arrangements, without fake scarcity.

  15. P15

    Understand the comparison

    Acknowledge price concerns; ask what matters only when the input has not already said.

  16. P16

    Explain grounded value

    Use supplied material, function and care facts, not invented longevity or lifetime service.

  17. P17

    Offer a suitable alternative

    A lower price tier is useful only when it still fits the need. It is not a discount.

  18. P18

    Distinguish self from gift

    Do not turn the buyer's preferences into assumptions about an unknown recipient.

  19. P19

    Locate the occasion

    Use only supplied festival, city and timing details. Do not invent weather or travel.

  20. P20

    Let silence be a boundary

    Produce a draft set for the advisor, not an automated sequence of follow-ups.
