- Who are the customers?
What products do you use to make money?
Who will earn it?
What mode or way?
How much does it cost?
The above logic is "customer value" driven, not simply pressure-oriented. This allows sales to be closely linked to customers.
Who are the customers? Just to answer: Where are the target customers and how many? Note that the so-called quantity is not a concept, but the number of customers each marketer must be able to reach effectively.
What products do you use to make money? What is the answer to our product strategy? According to statistics, the completion of 70% of the sales of most companies depends on powerful products, of which sales personnel will not contribute more than 30% of sales.
Who will earn it? This is actually the process of decomposing sales to each salesperson, and of course it also includes that each salesperson must provide its own target number of customers.
What mode? Mainly refers to the issue of channel sales, direct sales, or online sales. The last issue is the cost of sales. A marketing plan designed in this way will allow us to truly foresee the outcome of the plan.
The customer-oriented marketing plan emphasizes the premise of customer accumulation and customer development in the process, and discusses sales and staffing based on this. This will make the marketing plan highly visible and can quickly become daily Sales action. For example, if you simply decompose sales indicators into salespeople without decomposing them into customers, then the daily sales work of salespeople will not be directly implemented to customers, and you will not clearly understand: where are customers? Where is the sales revenue? What behavior is most effective? Everything will only stay on a digital level. Conversely, if customers are locked in, they will be able to capture the true source of sales and more accurately guide the daily actions of sales staff.
