Marketing is about creating the opportunities for your sales team to act upon
Our aim is to work with you and create systems so that the marketing of your company is working on multiple levels and delivers consistent results. To achieve this we must first fully understand the market in which you operate and identify the most profitable sectors of your target audience.
The gathering and use of information about the market in which you operate can take a wide variety of forms. Intelligence is the key to successful marketing, and obtaining data on your competitors, customers and the specific market sector in which you compete will enable you to act with greater confidence and less risk.
Your gathering of information needs to be rigorous and systematic and arguably, the most precious of all data is that on your customers. This information is critical to the success of your company; it will help you to access customer expectations and measure how well your products and services stand up to them.
Profiling and categorising your customer base will enable you to divide the market into segments and spot those areas that are the most profitable, the fastest growing, the least rewarding, etc. This will allow you to focus your resources on those segments that will yield the greatest opportunities.
The three key components of your marketing should be:
Customer Focus
- This is about gathering of data on the customers you have.
- Through profiling your existing customer base we can establish the different types of ‘customer’ your business attracts and why.
- We can then select the most relevant ways to develop the ‘individual accounts’ within the different segments, tailoring your message to make it more relevant and ‘focused’ to each group.
Fish where fish are
- Through establishing your customer segments ‘or profiles’ we can identify those who are most likely to buy your products and services and why. We can identify which specific benefits and services appeal to the different customer profiles.
- Knowing who they are also provides us with the ability to find out where and how they can be ‘sold to’ so our marketing can be more targeted.
- We can then tailor your proposition to the specific groups and market to them in the most cost effective and efficient manner.
Front end marketing
Getting new customers is essential to the survival of any business and this area within the Marketing Toolkit is focused on new customer acquisition tools and strategies.
Your 'sales pipe' or process can then be monitored to see number of prospects generated and the conversion rates experienced.
Working through these three component elements your Quiet Storm marketing partner will be able to recommend the right combination of lead generation strategies from the Quiet Storm Marketing Toolkit.
