What Is Your MARKETING Plan?

One of the underlying self - truths is that regardless of what one does or what his occupation/ goals might be, each of us must be both able and willing to sell each and everyday. Although many seem to shy away (or even fear or resent) from the idea of selling/ sales, everything we do involves some degree of selling. We either sell a product, service or ourselves, and therefore our personal success and achieving our goals, is directly related to how well we do this activity. Truly successful selling must depend on a quality, efficient and effective plan, and thus, it is incumbent on each of us, to examine, consider, enhance and develop the right MARKETING plan to best serve our needs and objectives.

1. Begin by considering how to best manage your personal program! Do you have needs to meet, or objectives to aim for? How do you develop, examine and set the metrics that are most essential to you? Do you check to see if you meet them? Do you over - rely on one type of marketing, or do you balance your plan to use the best proportion of each media that might best serve your needs? How do you identify and measure success?

2. Can you adequately articulate your aims? Being your most effective means you must assign some degree of personal achievement.

3. Forget relying on too much rhetoric or empty platitudes. Success will only be approachable when your personal perspective prioritizes results, and the best way to achieve them.

4. Never underestimate the need to develop quality knowledge. How will you ever be able to convincingly and effectively sell yourself or anything you care about, until and unless, you know what you're doing?

5. Effective marketing does not mean simply spending on everything or aimlessly, Rather it us important to have and maintain an economic perspective, so you spend within your means, neither over - spending monies you can't afford or being falsely prudent by under - funding this promotion.

6. Tell your story in a manner that intrigues, involves and entices others. Never do anything in a haphazard or unplanned manner, but demand of yourself that you always utilize the best, highest quality techniques that are possible.

7. Instill confidence in both yourself as well as others you want to influence, by fully explaining your ideas, while consistently and entirely committing to absolute and unwavering integrity.

8. Effectiveness means addressing and fullfilling needs. Don't try to be all things to all people, but rather know your personal priorities and niche.

9. Generate leads on an ongoing, regular and consistent basis! Greatness is contingent upon your continuous striving to maximize good will. This can only be done when you keep an open mind and gather valuable information.

Your personal success and satisfaction depends on developing a MARKETING plan that best works for you! Don't deny that you sell, but rather do so more impactfully!
