Conclusions -- Modern society is complex, and thus the types of choices consumers make on a minute by minute basis are also complex. By the very nature of these multiple, yet dichotomous, choices, 21st century culture demands a different set of values within the sales experience.

As we look into the future of marketing, then, it is clear that both design and approach to product management must reverse century-long trends and move to the client orientation of perceived and usable value (Fugate, 2007).
