Some
do's.
Embrace
for continued success.
Sell to a vertical.
Know your prospects.
Be known to the industry.
Be trusted as a partner.
Become their first choice.
And don'ts.
Ignore at your corporate
peril.
Do generic marketing.
Use one sales pitch.
Ignore industry bodies.
Ignore association bodies.
Be blindly product based.

Having
a much better product than your
competitor is certainly a welcome burly leg up
in the marketing stakes.
But it does
not guarantee a single sale.
You may know
all of its advantages but
unless your market shares your rose coloured
view you are in for a hard sales slog.
Educating
your whole market could take
the better part of a five year plan the old way.
A much faster
way is to break your market
up into verticals, and educate each, one at a
time, on exactly how your offering solves the
problems they uniquely face each day.
You do not
have to know each vertical
market and its problems intimately because we
have made that one of our unique lots in life.
We can write
and create your collateral
in terms of just what the vertical wants to buy,
not in terms of what you want to sell.
We will also
brief your sales team on the
vertical, its history, its pressures, its larger than
life personalities, and its problems.
They will
sound like true experts on each
vertical market you target.
And we will
mentor each team member as
they approach our vertical database.
Your
salespeople will speak the strange
language of the vertical, and feel at home bandying
about terms only heard within.
And all the
while your competitors will be
vainly waiting for any lead to call so they can try
to sell them a generic product to an industry they
know nothing about.
Wish them
luck.
All of a sudden
you will realise that having
the best product is not your greatest advantage.
Your greatest
advantage will be having the
best knowledge of your prospects.
Your prospects
will see you as standing
out from the bunch because you understand their
unique industry.
Your prospects
will trust you because they
have seen you speak at their industry functions.
Your prospects
will rely on you because
they have spoken to you at their special interest
group meetings.
All this specialist
knowledge we can bring
to you with each vertical you want to target.
Each of your
salespeople will become an
industry specialist in mere weeks, not long years.

In
brief.
a.
Better knowledge of exactly what your prospects want to buy will lead
to more sales than just having a better product sitting on your shelves.
b. Divide your
market into verticals and become a trusted, first-choice partner in each.
c.
Use our databases of each vertical to know the name, telephone number,
contact details of each prospect, and those in their decision making team.
