They Won the Power War. Now They're Losing Their Minds.
Sarah stares at her screen: 147 browser tabs, 23 white-papers, 14 vendor comparison spreadsheets, and 3,247 unread Slack messages about the CRM evaluation she's leading. She knows more about these solutions than the salespeople pitching them. She's never been more informed. She's never been more empowered.
She's never been more overwhelmed.
Welcome to the informed buyer paradox. Professional buyers have unprecedented access to information, sophisticated frameworks, and organisational authority. They control the process. They hold all the cards.
Yet 73% are experiencing burnout. 77% rate their last purchase as "extremely complex or difficult." And 43% of enterprise purchases end in no decision-not competitor wins, just paralysis.
The Revolution Nobody Prepared For
The Empowerment Trap is the first book to tell the complete story of B2B buying from the buyer's perspective-including the parts the empowerment narrative left out.
Gari Johnson spent four decades at IBM, Oracle, Salesforce, and Zendesk, watching the power shift happen. He wasn't just selling to buyers-he was working with procurement teams, building the systems they use, and observing how victory created unexpected casualties.
What You'll Discover:
- Why did the information asymmetry collapse create more problems than it solved
- How buying committees evolved from risk distribution to decision paralysis
- The mental health crisis organisations refuse to acknowledge
- Why the adversarial model damages both sides and what's replacing it
- How AI is transforming procurement while raising questions nobody's answering
- The community revolution, where buyers coordinate negotiations in real time
From Order-Takers to Orchestrators
This isn't seller propaganda or buyer cheerleading. It's an honest examination of how professional purchasing evolved from administrative function to strategic discipline-and why that evolution came with a bill nobody expected.
Johnson traces the journey from Peter Kraljic's procurement revolution through COVID's acceleration of digital transformation, revealing how each advance in buyer capability created new complexities. You'll meet procurement directors navigating impossible expectations and strategic buyers discovering that controlling everything doesn't mean understanding anything.
Written with Intelligence and Empathy
Johnson brings sharp wit and rigorous analysis to understanding buyer challenges, validating frustrations, and offering genuine insight into what needs to change. This book treats procurement professionals as what they've become: strategic partners struggling under impossible expectations.
The buyer awakening isn't slowing down. Understanding what's actually happening-beyond the empowerment marketing-isn't optional anymore. This is the book that finally tells the buyer's story. Including the parts that hurt.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
