MARKETING.
It is a critical part of any business activity. It is what creates customers and generates income, guides the future course of a business and defines whether it will be a success or failure.
My approach to marketing at each level is to a) build a relationship with the audience, b) involve the customer, and c) generate income. Below is a summary of this process.
Market Research & Focus
Understand market problems & our ability to address them. Identify competitive & alternative offerings in the market. Filter opportunities & focus on those with the greatest potential. Illustrate the vision and key phases of deliverables. Roadmap is a plan, not a commitment.
