Concise Definition of Marketing
• The process of matching consumer needs with appropriate products or services.
• Successful marketers give customers WHAT they want, WHEN they want it, WHERE they want it and at an AFFORDABLE PRICE.

Marketing vs. Selling
• MARKETING is not synonymous with SELLING– MARKETING meets the needs of the
CUSTOMER.– SELLING meets the needs of the SELLER and
is just one function of the overall marketing process.

Market Niches
• A focused, target-able portion of a market - a narrowly defined group of potential customers.– Addresses a need for a product or service that is
not currently being addressed by another provider or where there is room for competition.
• For instance, instead of offering cleaning services, a business might establish a niche market by specializing in blind cleaning services.

Common mistakes when starting a business
• Not carefully defining WHO the customers will be; if you develop niche business, your prospective customers will be a more specific group of people.
• Not carefully planning HOW you are going to make your prospective customers want your product or service instead of someone else’s – creating a demand!

What Are Sales Tools?
Good sales tools make good MARKETING!!
Q: What do sales tools do?
A: Sales tools give your customers information about your product or service.

Sales tools let the customer know…
• That your product or service exists.
• Why they should choose your product or service instead of someone else’s
Note: Sales tools should give this information in a way that will make customers want to buy from you.
• Where they can get the product or service
• How much the product or service will cost – (if your sales tool cannot say
exactly what the cost will be, it should at least tell the customer where to get the information)
