Product

How can you develop your products or service?

To take your product to the next level, consider how an outside perspective might view it.

With this information, evaluate ways to make sure your product stands out from its competitors!

Price

What kind of pricing model do you use?

Don't be afraid to review aspects of your sales and marketing strategies that seem challenging. If the market is shifting, evaluate how pricing might need updating in order to keep up with competition and ensure success both now and down the line. With an open mind, businesses can stay agile enough to take advantage of any opportunities they encounter along the way.

Promotion

Thinking in terms of promotion is essential for successful sales and marketing. Take the time to explore new methods for sharing your offerings with prospective customers, then craft a strategy that fits their needs. With this approach you’re sure to increase your visibility with potential buyers!

Place

Where do you sell your product? 

The fourth P in the marketing mix is the place in which you sell your product or service. As a business owner you must make the right choice about what location is best for your customers. The product should be available from where your target consumer finds it easiest to shop.

Process

Are there internal process barriers in the way to delivering the best customer value?

When it comes to providing exceptional customer experiences, your processes should be a priority.

People

Who are your people and are they in alignment with your company culture?
