Lessons Learned From Strategic Marketing From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
| |
| Businesses need to be strategic! There are too many businesses that fail to recognize the value of being strategic in their thinking and planning and have limited themselves to less than optimum results. Today, I want to present some thoughts about strategic marketing plans. I continue to be amazed at how many businesses have no marketing plan at all, let alone a strategic marketing plan. The truth is that the only marketing plan some businesses have is one on “the seat of their pants.”
Over the many years of working with business owners, their management teams and employees, there have been many opportunities to experience and capture the “lessons learned” from heir endeavors. In this article your strategic thinking business coach wants to share some of the “lessons learned” from strategic marketing. |

Tips for Being Mentored For Success
| |
| Don't hesitate to ask others to teach you what you want to know-in any area of life. By replicating their methods and attitudes, you'll get similar results. Finding and working with a mentor should be fun, easy, and very productive-you need not fly through life by the seat of your pants.
Select mentors who have successful experience in areas that you don't. You want to capitalize on their strengths and minimize your weaknesses and shortcomings. They must have achieved a high level of success in the same field, endeavor, or area that you are seeking to succeed in. You'll want someone who can challenge you and hold you accountable. You may have several mentors at one time. In fact, I recommend it. If you really think about it, you probably already have several mentors. |

Fix the sales force you have
| |
| Would we expect any elite sporting team to enter a competition without a clear game plan, talent plan, fitness plan, business plan and action plan? No, of course not. We expect them to be aware, organised, focused and determined to play their best and aim to win.
Well, more than 90% of sales people do not follow any logical process when selling. They are often left to their own devices and simply fly by the seat of their pants, relying on intuition and hoping for the best.
They often cannot articulate their value proposition or know how they compare to the competition. Nor are they clear about what activities they need to do on a daily basis to achieve sales success. Most make it up.
No wonder many don't meet business owners expectations. |

DOING NOTHING HAS SIGNIFICANT VALUE IN THE LIFE
| |
| It was a beautiful, Sunday morning in Porbandar India as I park my car near the Kirti Mandir. It is a place where M.K.Gandhi was born. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. I select one corner and seat on the floor with define posture in Yoga literature and paying attention to my breath.
“Anyone who wants a high five minutes let me know, I will direct you to seat with yourself. In fact, we all need time for ourselves and doing nothing, except meeting ourselves. |
