It is your plan of action - what you will sell, to whom you will sell it and how often, at what price, and how you will get the product to the buyer. Here's a closer look at putting together a marketing plan that works.

telling stories the brand connection
Today, we're interested in stories, and not particularly interested in facts. Every story needs facts, of course, but they are secondary. The facts are there just to provide some ballast for the story. There are always so many facts that don't fit into the story, and insofar as they don't fit, depending on our commitment to the story, we have a tendency to disregard them. Every good story has some connection to the truth of our experience, but the story's the thing.

Just the Facts Ma’am, Just the Facts
There was the classic TV Show and more recently the movie, “Dragnet”. The main character, Sergeant Joe Friday, was known for the quotation, “Just the facts ma’am, just the facts.” He would let a witness to a crime tell their story with all their emotion and commentary on what they believed happened. After a few minutes of listening to this extraneous information, Joe would interject his most famous line of dialogue, “Just the facts ma’am, just the facts.” As with Sergeant Friday, journalists are most interested in the facts you present in your press release.
The Sales Number Game Continues
Sales is about numbers. How many people you touch, how much you sell and how many dollars you make are just a few of the critical numbers that sales professionals need to know. No matter what is said about numbers they remain part of what is, is. So the question is “How well do you understand the numbers game?”
Just the facts, ma'am
Whether or not Joe Friday ever said "Just the facts, ma'am", the facts are necessary for your operation to judge what is not right, and what to change. Objective, open eyed facts, undistorted by opinions nor politics; nor by "it's always been done that way" nor by the dreaded Not Invented Here syndrome.

Live Consultant Thinking: Step Forward for a Good Work Environment
Smart business owners, managers and supervisors, whatever the business, know that we are dealing with people, product and profit, in that order. Statistical analysis gives us a picture of numbers relative to other numbers, but the numbers do not talk about themselves. They are talking about you and me. These numbers represent human activity. How we relate and communicate with other people, steps we take to have a good work environment, and honor humanity on both sides of the counter, affects the value of product and the quantity of profit.

MIND TRAP: Ignoring the Evidence
Steve Major discusses the fifth and final mind trap out that we can fall into in making decisions - ignoring the evidence. This is where we are not facing the facts. The facts are there, but we are not facing them. You could say we are avoiding the facts. It's a form of denial.
Why You Need To Trust Your Gut (But Don’t Take My Word For It)
In the twenty first century, facts are the guiding principles of the decisions and choices that most people make. We follow trends and research studies in determining what we eat wear and other major decisions. In constantly relying on facts, we have lost touch with our inner guiding system.
