MARKETING & SALES STRATEGY

WHY STRATEGY IS ESSENTIAL IN MARKETING & SALES

Without a successful marketing strategy, the prospect of your business growing is more reliant on luck than skill. However, before you can run, you must learn to walk. In the world of marketing, running without a strategic plan is like running with your hair on fire—chaotic and directionless. A well-defined strategy sets the foundation, guiding your marketing efforts to ensure they are effective and coherent.

IDENTIFYING YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE AND CLIENT BASE

Understanding who your customers are and how your business stands out is crucial. By defining your target demographics and differentiating your services, you tailor your approach to meet specific needs and preferences, setting your business apart from the competition.

Targeting is everything. Every staffing firm has its ideal client, and you must be familiar with every single one of their characteristics. To capture the interest of those who are already interested, targeting enables you to develop focused techniques that are going to draw potential customers.

Just like aiming at a dart board, aim at the right market segment. This is the turning point in sales. Think about it: if someone throws before aiming at the target, after numerous tries, one eventually gets close to the center, but you’ve already expended a lot of energy. However, if you aim before you throw, you have every chance to hit the target with just one dart. Applying a marketing plan is undoubtedly the same. 

Now, decide who your target market is and how your staffing firm can better their hiring process.

THE ART OF PRECISION IN STRATEGY: THE WWWWWH APPROACH

Strategy is not about random attempts; it’s about precision and planning. Address the ‘Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How’ of your offerings. This structured approach helps in crafting detailed execution plans and aligning your marketing goals with the needs of your target audience.

In marketing and sales strategy, the “Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How” framework helps ensure a comprehensive approach:

WHO

Identifies the target audience. Who are you targeting? Candidates? Clients? This includes demographics, psychographics, and behavior patterns as well.

WHAT

Defines the product or service being offered. What are you trying to sell to your audience? This involves detailing the features, benefits, and differentiators from competitors.

WHEN

Determines the timing for marketing efforts. When is the best time to reach your audience? This could include considering seasonal effects, market changes and hiring cycles.

WHERE

Establishes the channels for reaching the audience. Where can these potential candidates and clients be found? Options might include social media platforms, physical locations, or through various media outlets.

WHY

Explains the purpose behind the strategy. Why are these efforts important? This usually ties back to overarching business goals, such as increasing brand awareness, driving sales, or entering new markets.

How

Describes the method of execution. How will you deliver your marketing message or sell your product or service? This involves outlining the specific tactics, resources, and technologies that will be used.
