The Marketing Plan and Marketing List Success
Kick The Competition in the Ass..ets in 2010!
The success of your marketing and list campaigns will be outlined in your 2010 marketing plans.
A good plan includes the following parts: defining your competitive uniqueness and how you will capture marketing share from laying out the steps required to get there, figuring out the resources you’ll need, and setting a timetable.
If accomplishing a particular thing is worthwhile to you, it deserves a plan.
What’s YOUR plan for the next step in your marketing department for 2010?
Not having one – or not writing your goals and objectives in measurable and accountable terms becomes vague and worthless since this becomes your blue print to success.
Not stating measurable terms:
- is a ticket to misery now and lack of accomplishment later.
Now that you’ve thought about what’s meaningful to your marketing department and created a plan for your next step, now what?
Look at placing priorities for 2010.
List them in priority from 1 to 6.
Do the first job listed and stay with it until it’s completed.
If, at the end of the month, there is still time to get to job #2 and job #3,
do as time allows.
The next week continue to do the very same thing.
Then have all your subordinates do it.
People who have tried lots of productivity techniques will tell you that this is one of the most successful techniques they have ever tried.
You will find that the more you plan your next day and try to get just those things done. The more successful your day will be with small baby steps.
Once you get into the habit, you start to realize how many days you used to have when you wouldn’t get 3 to 5 important/significant/meaningful things done during a day.
The process of thinking through what needs to be done and prioritizing it is one of the most important things you can do.
It takes hard mental work which is why 90% of the people in the world make their living by working on someone else’s plan.
Planning and prioritizing are the entrepreneur’s must-have skills.
Let 2010 be the year that you dominate the competition with more customers, greater frequency of purchases, and a larger dollar amount of customer purchase with your marketing plan in hand.
