Most groups who decide to use Bonzi sports software come to us after having had a bad experience with one of our competitors. Some, however, are trying out online sports scheduling software for the first time. When someone is adopting online sports scheduling software in 2010 or ten years after such software has been available and reasonably usable industry experts refer to those folks as “Late Adopters”.

Why should you care? The only reason to care is that “late adopters” tend to be the most difficult of all market segments to please and are therefore a good test of the true quality of a online sports scheduling software or registration platform.

Here is what most “late adopters” demand by category:

1. Deciding to decide: late adopters wait until prices come down and the service is great and the sports scheduling software has matured to the point of truly being easy to use.
2. Weighing Information about options: they only want the best service, support, most advanced sports scheduling and registration software at the very lowest price with no compromises.
3. Trial: at this point in the sports scheduling and registration software business you can assume that any problem can be fixed; the BIG question is how easily and how pleasantly can it be fixed?
4. Implementing: Will they get me up easily and quickly?

All that makes sense for a “late adopter” in my book; if you’ve waited all this time why not go for the gold as your payoff for waiting and putting up with just paper, pen and Excel.

Are you a “late adopter”?
