Marketing
Management For Small Businesses
|
Marketing is something that every
business owner, every salesperson … does, even if he or she
doesn’t call it that.
Marketing is, quite simply, identifying your customer
prospects and determining how best to reach themIt’s
important to note, however, that marketing is not the same
thing as selling or promoting. Those are separate tasks.
Selling and promoting
are essentially the implementation of your marketing plan.
That is, once you have identified your customer prospects
and determined how best to reach them, you then have to go
out and make it happen. You make it happen through selling
and promoting.you can’t do an effective job of selling and promotion unless you have
identified who you’re selling to and how you can best reach
the prospects to make your sales pitch. That up-front
work requires the orderly accomplishment of several tasks.
