Foundational Marketing<\/span><\/p>\n

The market success of any business depends on the performance and alignment of four key components: 1) the firm’s Market Strategy (its value proposition, differentiation, target market and channel strategy), 2) its New Business Development initiatives (how and through which means it promotes and tells its story), 3) its Sales and Sales Management disciplines and 4) its Corporate Culture. \u00a0The QMP Foundational Marketing MethodologyTM\u00a0 \u00a0<\/sup><\/span>emphasizes getting those\u00a0crucial components correct and aligned, before committing to expensive tactical marketing initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have probably been assailed by marketing and sales gurus promising to deliver the magic pills of growth. First it was a simple Website, then SEO, then Social Media, Branding, Digital Marketing and now Marketing Automation. In fact, you may have been convinced, maybe more than once, to embark upon an initiative to “fix” all of your problems with one or more these approaches. If you are like most B2B businesses, it is unlikely that any of them blew the top off your business – and that you are still looking for the answers to the basic challenge of sustained growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why is that?<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s because those kinds of initiatives often overlook the basics. Marketing & Sales disciplines, tools and methods are the foundation of sustained business success. Great websites, SEO, social media presence initiatives cannot make up for a fundamentally poor value proposition or a fundamentally mistargeted market focus or a fundamentally poor competitive position. They cannot paint over reality.<\/span><\/p>\n
