Many of us are unhappy in promoting our skills or in taking action in making other people aware of our talents, products and services. We all secretly have some idea that we are good but secretly hope that we will be discovered and whisked away to a life of fame and fortune. This as you can imagine rarely happens, but its easier to believe this than indulge in self-promotion, a form of "conceit and vanity" which is what our parents have warned us against.

(How can I overcome this) Like many of the competencies involved in the E factor the first thing to do is to accept that developing personal marketing as a skill would be acceptable. How important is it to give your customer/boss the benefits/services they require?

Would you find it useful to:

(1) Be able to research information to know about trends and specific culture requirements

(2) Act on this information to produce an appropriate marketing mix to reach.

Your audience- make them aware you can meet their needs and deliver them successfully with the right product, at the right place at the right time. It is important that you create a "brand", a perception of what you and your product and services stand for?

My suggestion is that you produce a marketing plan which sets out how you will use the key skills from this area to benefit your life. In America now, one of the best-selling self help books is a manual for women which uses marketing concepts for women who are actively seeking a relationship/husband. A bit farfetched you may say but it is just an example of the fact that you can apply business skills in particular marketing as well as business issues. You may well think that your quality of work should be enough and feel embarrassed that somehow you are ...

When you see famous makes of individual brands such as the `Beckhams', you may be put off. Their marriage and relationship seems now after mass press and media marketing to be more a branding exercise to sell products and services rather than a real relationship.

However if you focus on the positive and realise how successful marketing has been for the Beckhams, what could they not have achieved if he was unable to score penalties and she to sing.

I am not advising letting marketing rule your life. Be aware that it is really up to you how individuals and the marketplace perceive you. At least be aware of that. My suggestion is to use marketing to achieve your goals without using your individuality. Remember why that perception and awareness are at least half the battle:

    I feel that if a business does not fully understand all that they need to do in the marketing field, they will become behind all of the other businesses in that same market because they will not have enough exposure to keep up with the competition. Additionally, if a company does not understand all of the necessary marketing techniques, they will not be able to gain enough profit to continue their business, which would ultimately lead to the failure of the business. Additionally, marketing is very important because without marketing, many of the successful franchises and large corporations we know today would not have been so successful because they would not have become so popular with not only people nationally, but internationally due to the exposure provided by their marketing agents. In closing, marketing can be the fine line between the success or failure of a business, and whether or not the company franchises or stays

    At the start of this module, I had no idea what to expect. When I heard the term “Marketing”, only one thing came to my mind: presentations. When I used to be in school, I remembered vaguely that my presentation skills weren’t exactly even close to Suze Orman, who is considered to be America’s most motivational speaker. In fact, they were so bad, I wasn’t sure of doing this course in the beginning. But then it wasn’t like I had a choice. I had opted for BA Hons.

    Marketing is very important to the success of a business. Before people can buy a product or service they have to know about it. However, marketing entails more than just letting people know what your company has to offer. Throughout this paper, I will define marketing, offering my personal definition as well as more formal definitions from other sources. Furthermore, I will explain to the reader the importance of marketing to organizational success giving real world examples in support of this explanation. The field of marketing can include many things. I believe, however, the most important thing which it should include is communication with customers as to the value and benefits of using that particular company's products and services. It should help to establish the business's niche in the industry and distinguish it from other such businesses.

    What I discovered about myself, is that I have a personality type of a “protagonist”. The “Protagonist” basically describes myself adequately, as they find it easy to communicate with others, natural born leaders, and are full of charisma. All of those characteristics tie in to the type of skill and job that I soon want to be possessed in. That job and skill lies in the Marketing field. My attraction draws to this specific job because I am an outgoing person, persuasive, and use my creativity to the best of my ability. I have always questioned the things people do, such as “Why do people purchase they things they do?” and “What inspires and influence consumer purchase behaviors?”. All of this falls under Marketing, which plan programs to generate

    Marketing is the core of any business venture. Two basic functions are derived from marketing: 1) to retain and sustain present customer base, and 2) to develop new and/or improved customer relations. Focusing on these two aspects is the essence of marketing. The plan for why, whom, how, and when…surrounding the product, service, or idea… all develop and stem from marketing ideas and concepts.

  • Marketing Reflection Paper

    1153 Words  | 3 Pages

    Before taking this course, marketing was all about product and the promotion of that product. I took a marketing course during my undergrad about 7 years ago that emphasized the 4 P’s. Building a strategy around promoting a product and/or service seemed to be the most fundamental concept of marketing to me. My narrow thinking soon changed after going into the workforce and after taking this course. Marketing is more than just telling potential and current consumers about your products and why they should buy it. Marketing truly encompasses all areas of business. A great marketing strategy needs to focus on all the new strategic marketing elements of positioning, product, logistics, price, integrated marketing communications, and service. It’s

  • Reflection About An Entrepreneur

    Every “true” entrepreneur knows that there will be never enough time or money to make things right when starting a new business. So it’s vital to focus on the most important thing, which is the customer. To understand the importance of knowing customers, imagine an entrepreneur with a flawless and innovative product but doesn’t have enough customers to sustain the business and the opposite is true. For entrepreneurs to be customer-focused they need to understand customers needs rather than focusing on great products or wonderful services. This is what I did on my final project; the idea behind my business is to offer customers who live in a very hot area of the world cold treats but in a different and new way. This point is should be clarified in the “customers” slide in the pitch to show that the owner knows who are the customers and the show why they might be interested in the product or the service the owner is planning to
