Mplans.com: Excerpt from Marketing Plan Pro Sample Plan

Marketing Vision:  The Road Construction industry is poised to take advantage of the Economic Stimulus package but it will be determined by the bids that the road contractors win. Private-sector spending has come to a halt. Our marketing efforts must be spent on providing existing customers with the reassurance they need so that we are his first call when searching for equipment. We also must ensure that we can provide an adequate parts supply for our present customers. These are operational issues, more so than marketing ones, but it is an important part of our sales and marketing effort to be the easy choice for their needs and to provide local support during the prime paving system.

Our marketing plan takes a conservative approach in trying out some new communications methods. We have found that many of the customers we are reaching at the present time are seeking more direct contact. Since the audience is relatively well-known and in a geographic area, we are testing how best to use the new technologies before advancing.

John Janstch of Duct Tape Marketing wrote a great blog piece today and I copied it with permission to my e-mail list. An excerpt from the piece:

“Small businesses must change the way they think about and approach lead generation – they must think more in terms of being found and less in terms of finding. People are still looking for solutions, trying out new services and buying things they want, they’ve just changed how they go about doing it. In a way the control of message consumption has changed with it.”

If you have not read it, I encourage you to do that. If you read it in my e-mail please leave a comment here, I would appreciate sharing what my people think about it. Also feel free to copy and paste your comment on John’s blog.

Six Sigma Marketing

Posted by: business901 | Comments (1)

Six sigma is such a good fit for the marketing process that you wonder why it was not developed for that part of the business first. Just review these central themes of Six Sigma:

Focus on the Customer understanding your customer and his buying process can lead to monumental improvements. Center your marketing on what drives customer satisfaction and value.

Focus on processes rather than the end result. By analyzing and fixing the process itself , companies build competitive advantage over their competition.

Collaboration if all parts of the organization including strategic partners and vendors need to keep their focus on the customer. Improving  teamwork between all parts of the organization especially breaking down barriers between sales and marketing is essential.

Defining goals and setting clear priorities with frequent reviews allow you focus you on correcting the process rather then “putting out fires.”

Continuous Improvement will push your organization to higher and higher levels. Leave it become your strategic advantage over your competition.
