Why You Need a Strategic Marketing Plan!

 

“He who fails to plan, plans to fail”

-Winston Churchill

“If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else”

-Yogi Berra

Why a Strategic Marketing Plan? So you can achieve your goals and grow your business with a proven systematic methodology.

Your Strategic Marketing Plan is the foundation on which you build your business growth. It is your roadmap for success. You know you can’t build a house without a strong foundation, including an architects plan

Similarly, you cannot build a business without a strong foundation, especially a B2B Strategic Marketing & Sales Plan.

In today’s Internet connected world, you cannot build your business without a sound marketing and sales strategy. Your marketing strategy is your growth strategy. It is how you acquire and grow your client base.

And, as you know, without clients, you don’t have a business.

BTW – Whenever I mention the word “marketing”, I mean it the same way Peter Drucker described marketing, which includes all sales activities too.

As you know, there are only three ways to grow your revenue organically.

1. Get more clients.
2. Obtain more revenue from your current clients.
3. Increase your prices/fees.

You need to understand all of the methods and tactics that go into each factor. When you get your Strategic Marketing Plan, you will have a strategy that will show you how to achieve all three factors.

There are 3 steps to completing a Strategic Marketing Plan .

1. Where are you?
2. Where do you want to go?
3. How do you get there?
