Activating your experience

Sometimes even the smallest decisions can present us with having to reach out to our friends or associations to help us be more informed and comfortable with what we choose. How many times have you been with a group of friends on a Friday night, and the million dollar question of “Where do you want to eat?” gets put on the table. More times than not, it's usually the experience and recommendation of someone in the group that ultimately convinces everyone else to decide on where to go. This is just one example of the dependence we have on our friends, networks, and community for credible recommendations and it touches the vast landscape of the purchases we make throughout our lives. From where to eat to buying an automobile, we have the propensity to seek validation and qualify our purchasing decisions, and we find that within our pool of resources, there is usually someone particular with the valuable knowledge on the array of products, services, and consumables we buy.

Today, we process information and make consumer decisions at rates never experienced before. We leverage networks and communities of people both on and off-line and there is a vast reference library of expert and consumer reviews at our disposal. You see it everyday. There might be an expert at a major newspaper who's sole role is to put their stamp of approval or list of cons on a new product. This has considerable impact on the way we react to the product and has major influence on the overall buying decision. We have come to know and respect these experts. They usually have a long track record of making clear and objective recommendations and usually have history with their specific line of expertise. At the same time, we have come to know and respect the expertise of those that hit a little closer to home. As well, we ourselves fall into that category of having expertise in some facet of our lives.

We at Waysgo.com understand the importance of our unique qualities as human beings. It's a huge part of what defines us, and the very fabric of our lives is often guided by our unique qualities, preferences, tastes, and aptitudes. With Waysgo we can all harness our uniqueness, join a community of qualified experts, and in effect enhance and improve the way we make buying decisions. One of the great qualities of our product is the ease of use and validation system behind the technology. Unlike other systems that enable us to see the list of opinions, thumbs up, and negative reviews; which ultimately leaves us in a cloudy realm of still having to decide if we might make the right choice or not, Waysgo.com provides a way to tap into a growing community of friends, experts, and other consumers who are constantly verifying and validating the things we are looking for. For example, if I'm looking for a good filet mignon, I can go to Waysgo.com and easily find what restaurants have been visited that have this recommended feature. What I will see are recommendations from people on the system, see where others have followed them and further recommended the product, giving me a tangible validation of my sought after filet. Or, I'm going to see that recommendations for this feature aren't getting a steady flow of further benchmarks, thus helping me easily validate whether or not the steak is worth my pursuit. No reviews to comb through, no strict requirement for high level expertise to rely on, just an effective and easy to understand system of validation by people who are just like you.

So why all this fuss about being an expert at Waysgo or uncurling your uniqueness. You don't have to be an expert at Waysgo, but why not bring your qualities to the community and help others make more comfortable buying decisions. As well, you can grow your expertise, establish relationships with businesses, help others harness their unique qualities, get a little return on your time and tastes, meet new friends, expand your pool of places to turn for help in making decisions, and join a reference networking system that will not only enhance your life, but make it a little less stressful and easy.
