13 - More on selling, prospecting, promoting policies

1) Selling / advertising priorities

Focus efforts on emerging products

(growing marginal returns vs. diminishing returns on old products)

2) Selling / promotion arguments

 Identify the general argumentation for the products / services / segments

(by comparing with buying motivations),

 Use them to prepare advertising, promotion, selling arguments.

3) Finding prospects (market conquest)

For professional or durable products / services, the sales force is not keen

on canvassing outside their usual customers. The solution is to:

 Organize a total co-operation between marketing and selling teams so as to:

*** Use (interactive) direct marketing fully,

*** Build a network of outside partners for cross-recommendations.

*** Get precise data and criteria to prepare an adequate prospecting plan

>The seller's role is to finalize the sale
