The internet refers to be a world changing library of information. This produce results to those customers, who demand knowledge. They also expect you to be knowledgeable, about their specific needs and requirements.
As a company, it is vital that you get in sync with what your customers want. To understand their needs is a huge part of selling to savvy consumers.

The ability to understand what your customers wants is called situational knowledge.
Capability knowledge is when you combine situational knowledge with a product or service. You solve a problem and offer a solution. You tailor your service/product to that exact issue.

What they are looking for is a solution that will dramatically impact their personal environment.

When consumers and educated buyers enter your sales funnel, they enter at a different point than normal customers. They often enter much lower down the funnel. This means that your sales teams and your marketing have to be able to quickly answer their specific questions.
There is a little point highlighting all your product benefits, when a customer knows that and wants their specific problem solved. If you do not respond to their issues almost immediately, it is unlikely that, the educated buyer will continue down the sales process. No, further down the sales process equals no sale!

You require situational knowledge (knowing what your customers specifically want) and capability knowledge ( fulfilling or solving their specific problem). You will then need to understand that educated and savvy buyers enter your sales funnel at a different point.
