Presentation and Marketing of the Business
Any new business will take a year to reach its full potential from a running start, and an established business needs a lot of TLC to effect a smooth changeover. So, before you take the reins, make sure you have budgeted adequately for marketing and promotion as a very real expense in the first twelve months. How you elect to market your business depends very much on what you are selling a commodity or a service. But the basics are still the same: to put your business in the face of all your potential customers and make it stand out from the rest.
Marketing is about Differentiation

Success is a moving platform
Do you have the wrong sales team delivering your sales strategy? Ask yourself the follow the questions: How has your strategy and /or market place changed recently?

How is your product offering behaving in the market place now? Was it once exclusive and now a commodity? The definition of a ‘good' salesperson is driven by many possible needs. Those needs are a function of industry standards, changing market conditions, competition, corporate strategy and culture, personalities, past experiences, just to name a few.

Innovation Means Looking Beyond What is to What Could Be
Customer and market research, competitive benchmarking, and focusing on market share could be detrimental to your organization's future performance. These approaches are critical improvement tools. Top performing organizations have turned them into a disciplined and useful science.
