Marketing Strategy

Positioning, the must have for a successful Marketing Strategy Positioning is the heart of any Marketing Strategy, the core that you must get right.

If you want to earn money and be able to pay all the salaries you and your employees desperately need.
If so: Is there anything else but sales and marketing? This is also the reason why we will start of in a situation “as if” you did start up the sales process in a new company where no previous customers did exist. Gradually your sales efforts bare fruit, you get customers and market expansion becomes important to be able to handle. The course begins in the art of cold calling and analyzing the customers, then gradually move over to segmentation, positioning, closing the deal, competition, marketing strategy and market expansion.

In a 2014 study of CEOs and CMOs, IBM found 63% wanted social strategies which generate business metrics while only 20% of businesses worldwide actually have them. This means strategies which not only grow your company’s social footprint but link to your sales and marketing systems. With this critical linkage, your social and mobile strategies will provide you with the ability to engage consumers at a 1-to-1 level and measure your social investments in terms of costs, revenues, profits and ROI.
