1. Write Down Your Marketing Goals for 2004.
Research shows that if you put your goals on paper, you are
not only more likely to achieve them, but you'll be two to
ten times as successful as people who don't make their
goals concrete. Be realistic but at the same time, don't
underestimate yourself or your business's potential.
2. Create A Marketing Plan.
Too many independent professionals and small business
owners market by the seat of their pants. If they have a
marketing plan, it consists of a loose collection of
marketing tactics without any underlying strategy that
pulls it all together.
- Do you have a marketing plan?
- Is it based on a core set of marketing principles?
- Can you define these marketing principles?
- Do you know which marketing strategies are the most cost
effective for your business?
- Is your marketing plan working to build your business year
after year?
3. Identify The Strengths And Weaknesses Of Your
Marketing Many people feel comfortable sending out mass
mailings. but don't know what to say on the phone or in
meetings to close more sales. Make a list of your marketing
strategies and your tactics and note which ones are working
and which aren't.
4. Determine What You Are Going To Do Differently In 2004.
To get more clients and grow your business faster than you
did last year, you will need to do something differently.
You may need to learn more about marketing strategies and
how to implement them successfully Or you may need to do
more of what is already working for you now.
