Marketing for Business

TRUTH: Nobody Really Wants Marketing, EVERYBODY WANTS SALES

Marketing is WHAT you have to do to ensure sales opportunities because your product, service, price, offer, or distribution isn’t perfect.

Understanding marketing and how to use it properly is one of the most important, yet most complex concepts for a business owner or executive to comprehend. Marketing defines your company’s reputation. It distinguishes you from your competition. It guides you to new customers and it is the basis for sales development. However, marketing is the number one business practice that companies, like yours, take for granted because they have never used it properly and don’t realize its value. Often this misunderstanding results in haphazard marketing efforts that are ineffective because they were not strategically driven.

How effective is your marketing? Ask yourself:

• What differentiates your company in the marketplace?
• Do your marketing materials reflect the reality of your company?
• What percentage of the work are you really getting from your top customers?
• Who is your competition and what are their biggest strengths and weaknesses?
• Do you know what your top customers think of you – what they really think?
• What products or services are current customers surprised you offer? Why is that?
• How do you map out future markets to understand barriers to entry, competition, sales structure and profitability?
• Do your potential customers easily see a need for what you’re selling? If not, does your marketing create a need?
