Objectives:

       1.  To increase learning on marketing and/or refresh if forgotten
       2.  To increase sales and consequently the earnings of CSS and CMO under DILP

Reality:

      1.  Sales on the decline
      2.  Zero if not little knowledge of marketing
      3.  Bad interments; undelivered documents

Topics:

     1.   Purpose of a business
           
          A business is an entity that creates customer.   Therefore there are two important functions above all others
          1.  Marketing 
          2.  Innovation

        How does a business create customer:
        1.  Designing new products or products that solve  problems of the customer
        2.  Keeping in touch and satisfying the customers most of the time
        3.  Soliciting new customers through prospecting
        4.  Repeat sales for existing customers or cross selling up selling

       Some organization focus on power struggle or authority. But that is not the way to run a business.  Priority always in the business is customer
       As in Christian doctrine, the  one who serves the customer best wins.  In many of the sports, as tennis, table tennis, volley ball, the  winner is 
       one who serves best.  The Christian  doctrine prescribes faith, love  and  charity.  The faith and love are useless without charity ie service

     2.   Market industry 
           Many of us made the business world complicated and peppered with academe jargons.  Many workers, envision the perky business world:
           suits, executive suites, glitzy offices.   But all businesses is just like any sari sari store.   It is about selling goods and services to a buyer.
           Many college graduates think they are above that and prefers only office work, and disdain the reality of business, ie a seller and buyer transacting
           
          A business is a collection of buying and selling transactions
          The market of is a group of transactions ie of business lumped together
          The industry is composed of a group of markets transactions
          The economy is sum total of industry transactions. 
          The basic unit is the transaction:   a buyer and seller
           

     3.  Importance of customer service

              Since the purpose of the business is to create customers it is paramount to develop, capture and retain buyers/customers. 
              Who is the customer?  The customer is the one who pays.  He is the paying prospect.
              Some adage have been made regarding the customer.  Rule #1.  The customer is always right.  Rule #2, if the customer is wrong
                  go back to Rule No 2    But new employees are against this rule and riles vs customer service

             This post has made a ppt uploaded at Slideshare.  Slideshare bougquet of customer service  This covers:
                       1.  Initial customer contact
                       2.  At the office
                       3.  Establishing rapport
                       4.  Tripping
                       5.  Closing
                       6.  Plaisir  the five senses.  This is the latest.   The customer service especially in the service business must appeal to the five senses:
                           taste, smell touch, hearing, sight.   These appeal  must be worked on.  Thus hotels    provide colors and pleasant architecture - sight;
                           good food -  taste;   pleasant smell -  smell;    piped in music or white sound hearing,  and soft beds and pillows silk and leather covers -
                           touch.  This was started by Sofitel -  one of the most successful organizations running hotels

                          There are other aspects of operations where superior service is required say in memorial park:
                              1.  Billing
                              2.  At the office
                              3.  Parking
                              4.  All saints day
                              5.  Answering phones
                              6.  Interactions with the SG
                              7.  CR - clean ba or foul smelling. with water ba? With soap and tissue

                       However there are two important transactions which must be addressed:
                              1.  Documents delivery after payment.  Thats what the customer paid for
                              2.  Interment service.  That is the ultimate experience where CS can be seen.

                      ATM we have failed in these.  
                                   

     4.  Business model:     PTM, customer link, customer channel, 

                  A marketer should take note of the business model, so that he becomes relevant to the  business
                  The parts are:
                                   MVP   -  main value proposition   what is the value being provided by the business or by the product to the PTM
                                                 at the center.  It is not the product but the solution being offered by the  product.  

                                                 What is the pain being removed in the customer?
                                                 What is the gain being provided?

                                                 Say a dandruff product:   Pain  being removed - the embarrassment of having dandruff falling on social occasion
                                                 Gain:   being more handsome and socially pleaing or fragrant

                                   Primary Target Market -  a business cant be every thing to every people,  Although it can only provide sizes and models
                                                A particular model say a HRV appeals to only certain group of buyers, so with SUV   It must be clear what
                                               are the offerings to which market category you are wooing.  So we have the Nielsen classification:

                                               A  1% of the population   The rich and super rich residing in Forbes and Dasma or in 50 million condo  Earn 1M a year
                                               B  9% of the population.  Residing in Bel Air, SLV, Ayala Alabng, Corinthian   Earn P500K to P999 a year
                                               C.  20% the middle class.  Junior execs, entrepreneurs   P251K to  P499
                                               D   30% of the population.  Those earning  minimum wage.  P150k to P250K
                                               E   40% of the population    The farmers, those under employed  Earn less than $1 a day  P100 to P300/day

                             In the current election campaign, LR is supposed to be wooing A to C while  BMM the D and E.  They are more in number and therefore
                             Victory is predicted for this candidate.  

                             This has given rise to bottoms up marketing and/or sachet marketing.   The marketer sells to these large but purchasing power 
                              challenged mass via sachet that are affordable.   A sachet of shampoo, lotion, or deodorant.    (The environmentalist hate these
                              marketers for the waste they create

                                          Customer link -  the customer service being provided.  the CRM or rewards system if any, or DM at social media

                                          Customer channel -- via again DM, or gmail marketing (Google ads) or FB or agents, or brick and mortar store




     5.  Product is a solution to a problem: what is the pain that the product removes, pain or gain for the  customer

               We do not sell product.  We sell solutions.  A computer is a solution to mails, storage  of data, searching of data, research.  It is never a hard
               ware that we buy because it is a technological wizardy.  
 
              An android provides:  music and video for entertainment;   a calculator,  as a gadget to compute,  fm radio for music, cameras for memory apps to
              measure bp and other things.   

             So in general, we determine what is the pain to be removed by the product from the customer, and what is to be gained.

             So for a memorial park as a solution to a problem;

                           Pain to be removed -  the grief, the availability of burial ground, the minding of other details needed in the interment.  Thus if 
                                                              could handle the death certificate and burial permit

                          Gain -  prestige, appeal to the pride and ego of the buyer, orderly and beautiful situs.  

               It is best to get prospects first before building the product   So what do you do -  build a commercial complex and then advertise for the 
               lessors, or determine first the  need for a commercial complex and then build the complex.

               So some mega companies, seek revenue estimation first before committing cap ex.  Some non experts do it the other way around.  Build
                the product first and then Bahala na si Batman for revenues.  Stark difference between Tony Boy when running PLDT.  Tony Boy focused
                on Cap Ex.   MVP focused on revenues.  


     6.   Vision, cash flow sales:  AATR
            They are interrelated:  Vision, cash flow sales:  AATR

            A company has a vision  (a picture an image of what the business will be in terms of size, market coverage, other business to be in)
                                say computer in every home

           To achieve this you need cash flow (not coming from loans  or IPO not everybody has access to money or capital markets)

           To have cash flow, you need Sales

           To achieve sales, you need:

                    1  Availability of the product.   Are they finished product, can you procure them from China.  If it si real estate -  can you delivver the
                        documents, or is construction completed 100%.  Have the amenities been completed?  You cant have smokes and mirrors (as 
                        some dominant computer companies did.  They got advanced for products that are still being developed  In real estate, HLURB
                        prohibits pre selling of uncompleted units.  But it has been the practice for condo business.    The developers start pouring the
                        foundation only if 100% of the unit have been sold or with DP.   Some though who have the money finish the projects without 
                        prospects and end up leasing the units under lease to own

                2.  Awareness.   Building a better product does not make the market troop to your doorstep to buy the product.  You have to make the
                     product known to the prospects via various means.  Educate them about the product features, price and performance..  Only  then can
                     you expect the prospective buyers come rushing ot your door.  The soc media has made it easier for awareness.  Thus many start
                     ups became successful because of the Marketing site -  FB where over 2 B a day make clicks.

                3.  Trial -   You have to have the prospect prove experience the product.  For cars it test drive  For food, it is product sampling.  For
                                  meds, it sampling the MD for trials and free samples for their patients.   For condo, it maybe "For only P20k move in Or  sample
                                  free massage card.  Free one night stay at a Glamping site
                                  Unless the prospect has experienced the product or service, seldom will there be sales.   

                                 For a condo or residential unit, it is the open house or free tripping.

                                 For casino, if you take a bus say from NJ to  Atlantic City, ,the bus gives you  $100 worth of tokens  (free) for you to play slot machine
                                 or black jack,  And then the $100 gets the person hooked:  forever.  Or even addicted.

            4.  Repeat sales -  this is the sweet spot for the marketers.   There is no more expense needed to acquire the customer like the 20% or so needed
                                           get the customer.  You spend this on ads, ,tripping, commission, freebies.   60% of the profit of typical company comes from
                                           repeat sales.  Projection planning is easier for this group of customer   Says ANI chief Tony Chui, (the dummy of Binay)
                                           the consumption buying pattern of repeat sales can be predicted. It is no brainer and does not require rocket science
           
     7.   3cs in a business environment

          There was a question as to who really decides in the company:  the Board or the CEO.  Usually we say it is to top honcho.  But in reality that
           the decision is determined by forces outside the board room.  They are (if the company lacks leadership)

         1. Customer -  the customer is a moving target, and his wants (take note) constantly changes   As a being connected to the infinite and in 
                                 search of constant improvement, will outlive or discard your product in favor of something better.  If you do not provide the 
                                 better product, someone else will.

         2.  Competitor  that is the entity that might provide the better solution to the customer wants.  Or the competitor may have all ready done that.                                                      Improvement of price, features, size and so on.   Then you play catch up to match the price and features.  Or provide something
                                better.

        3.  Company -  You cant be a dictator in your own company.  It is always politicalized.  You pay attention to the workers, to the regulators, 
                                  the directors. lenders.  It is never a singular unitary action.  These various stakeholders have to be placated   

             Thus it is the interaction among the three that determines the correct marketing mix/strategy

                   
     8.   Marketing definition

               Marketing is constantly  - operant word is constantly.  It never ends, It is done on a daily 24/7 basis
               providing customers wants and needs. -  both needs (basid Maslow needs) wants are slight variation in the needs
               better than competitor -   you have to be better than them; if not match them
               at a profit -  you are in business to have margins.  You cant give away your product.  There is always a concern for revenues, and 
                                   margins.  ROI has to be computed always.  You run the marketing campaign as per budget and strict financial disciplien
                                   A good marketing plan has both the cash flow and PNL projection.  Pag walang kuwenta, walang kuwenta compania  
     9.   Branding vs Marketing

          They are often mistaken to be the same

           Marketing -   we have defined marketing above.

           Branding -  is the sum total of customer experience on the product.  A brandman's activity include;

                1.  Name
                2.  Logo type and packaging
                3.  Advertisement
                4.  Formulation and product performance vs advertisement claims
                5.  Customer feedback, and review of product performance at the POS and final consumer

                No 5 is the most important.  How is the customer experience with you product or service.   It has to be audited, and improved.  Otherwise you suffer
                death and decline of teh 

   10.  Guerrilla marketing;  cobra(nding)

           This the type of marketing where you skimp on the budget and do not do a full budget marketing  The options are:
           1.  Word of mouth (you now term this use of influencer)     You do not go for a P600,000 30 seconder but go via FB  using an iinfluencer and
                or a FB post
          2.  WOM (word of mouth) you use Maritess to spread the word.  You try to develop disciplines for your product who will speak tons about
                your product or mere testimonies.  Of course these entails PHP
          3.  Unique ads or billboard displays.   You make your agency or ad company do something that is memorable  like a live billboard in down town
               or a nightime drone display.  
          4. Do  a unique campaign.   Like the Just do it by Nike.  It is seldom that you get to do this
          5.  Co branding.  Tie up with other advertisers to do an event or ad campaign.  Say ________coffee and __________snax go together well. 

   11.  Promotions, ads  Ogilvy and Mather

          They were the kings of outdoor and print copies   They espoused for the print ad long write ups to describe the products and its features.
          But no more than 7 words for the outdoor billboards.  Pics that stand out It must be noticed  They gave birth to new job:  the copy writer.  
          The highest paid ad man

   12.  Above the line and below the line marketing;  writing an ad
          Above the line is the old advertising:   TV ad, newspaper ad where you as an FMCG (fast moving consumer goods - toothpaste, detergent, shampoo
          milk coffee clothing, P100k rental for outdoors.  

        Below the line is events marketing;   sponsoring marathon, gigs, song festivals, street party (SMB often does thisi in towns) where they have free bands and
        drinking parties.  Pulutan may be free and or prices of drinks are discounted.    Now they cover iron man, bike competition, basketball games,  marathons
        and the like   These used to be be small budget for this, but has grown because of increased customer engagement

        Writing an ad is not as simple as it is.   You hve to research the PTM and product features, and the customer experience and high light those   You have to
         find the switch and magic word

                 Switches to discover:

                1  Likability  -  this can be outside the ad.  You have to do things that are good for the  community

                2.  Data  proving  you must have a history of making correct claims and promises

                3  Authority switch -  people buy products that are endorsed by a political or  or TV personality or by you if you are seen as an authority

               Other strategy that sells:

              1.  Scarcity  -  when your supplies are limited
              2.  Time constraints -  if the product will not be available on a certain date
              3.  Price increase -   people buy when they know they can save over the long term
              4.  Fear -  when the product involved is to protect the health and safety of the buyers   Thus a protective film on panel doors can 
                   be sold easily of you show pictures of persons decapitated walking through an unprotected door panel

   13.  AIDA

         This used to be rule of thumb when writing an ad.  They assure that the ad will be read and will be effective.  It has gained even a greater 
          importance when used in Android phone marketing on FB   The  android gets swiped and it is very likely that your ad will not be read unless:

       1.  A -  you get their attention.  An eye catching picture or sticker will catch the attention of the reader, he/she will stop scrolling and read your ad
       2.  Interest.  An interesting feature that is unique, out of this world and outstanding
       3.  Desire -  a special offer that will make you buy.   A discount a plus  one, free delivery   Or pay after 30 days.  A money back guarantee.  Anything that
            make him/her part with his $ O P for the product
       4.  Act -  order now, call now, visit our office now.  Avail now.  CTA,  Before this were coupon.  Message us now.  Pay via GCash 

                    Example:

                    Greek yogurt - lowers body weight by as much as 10 lbs in one month                   Attention
                    Now available here                                                                                                    Interest
                    Special offer of 5:1, only P200 per order free  delivery                                             Desire 
                    Order now, limited offer                                                                                             Action



            Think like a scammer who is doing something illegal to get your  sales    Yours is legit

          
   16.  SOC media marketing; digital marketing; AIDA ads, FB ads, FB wifi, FB live streaming  -  google ads, YT (2nd search engine) FB ads

              We have not fully utilized the various soc media or stopped using them:

             1  Google is now the biggest search engine, You tube is now the 2nd biggest search engine.  We have stopped posting at You tube
             2.  Google ads -  it has taken more than a year.  We have not completed the Google ad offer to advertise.  
             3.   FB wifi  (no action)
             4.   FB live video
             5.  Do our people know how to make a FB ad

          
   17.    Sales funnel: this is the same as sales process

           1.  Suspects
           2.  Prospects
           3.  Qualifying
           4  Tripping and product experience
           5. Handling objection
           6.  Ordering and sales closing (payment)
           7.  After sales service

           At number 4, you can give rewards to those who agree to a tripping


   18.    Sales management:   recruitment, training, sales meeting, reward

           The adage is recruit for the day and train for the week  The key to sales is having more sellers  You can recruit and retain sellers It is dependent on
           your passion and focus.  

           Talk about benefits and how easy it is to sell  You have to motivate the sellerrs   How easy to earn money only using your saliva.  How expensive it
           is to have saliva in your mouth.  

           You have to look everywhere for sellers:  buyers, students, ex OFW who have no jobs.  jobless people   Go and seek  for sellers  Advertise 
           make an offer at FB

        1.  Sales training -   It is best done by:
            1.  Having product knowledge.  Have the trainee memorize
            2.  Role playing  as  seller and buyer
            3.  Tagging along a senior as sales presentations are made
            4.  Celebrate congratulate small victories with a gift or snacks

       2.  Sales meeting 
           A venue where sellers are:
           1. Reminded of the fact that they are part of a team hence are part of a team
           2.  Sharing of experience to gain confidence
           3.  Spreading the news about new products, new developments, prizes etc. 
           4.  Games and prizes will enliven the meeting ; awards even certificates for performers

   19.  Prospecting  

         You can sell if you have prospects.  No prospects, no buyers.  Acquiring prospects is an important activity at  marketing oriented company
          Make filling up DPMS and DILP as an important tool, to assure constant inflow of prospects.
          No fake non existent prospect or  just copy names from phone book  

         Submit DPMPs DILP daily

   20 .  The importance of self development
          1.  Passion  Love what you do and do what love.  Nothing is this world got done without passion.  The great companies were born out of
               passion of the entrepreneur like apple, or MS of Bill Gates
          2.  Time management -  giving php value to your time.  Learn to have a work schedule.   Focus only on important value adding tasks like
                sale training.  Not on routine or messengerial tasks
          3.  Good manners and etiquette  Yes we want to be sold by courteous respectful people.  Unlike online sellers who:
               1.  Label you as bogus buyer if you dont buy
               2.  Read first para hindi maraming tanong
               3.  Bully you into buying
               4.  Lies to you
               5.  Do not greet or thank you
          4.  Integrity -  keeping your word  Mean what you say and say what you mean.  Arrive at your appointment exactly.  Plan ahead so
                                 that you are not late
          5.  Goal setting   It is important to know what you want and be clear about this.  
          6.  Self discipline you have to have your schedule and stick to it.  Time to read to increse your knowledge.  Time to make your sales report. Time to
                calling or you prospects.
          7.  Secret of becoming a millionaire - focus  What is the secret to being a millionaire.   Focus.   Focus on the things that prevent you from
               making that sales    Get these obstacles one by one until they are gone.  Move on to the higher level
          8.   How to win friends and influence people
                By Dale Carnegie.  It is timeless. It is still the bible for selling and solving problems on CS  Influence is leadership.  Leadership is getting people
                to say yes and buy:

                        Rules
                1.  Smile
                2.  Listen
                3.  Give genuine and sincere appreciation
                4. The sweetest sound to any person in any language is his first name
                5.  Do not criticize, complain or condemn, (or chismis now Martiess)
                6. Be genuinely interested in other person

          9.   Determination and persistence alone is omnipotent";  talent will not education will not. the world is full of educated derelicts Favorite of
                Ray Kroc in expanding McDonald.  The largest fast food chain is McDonald.   Jollibee aims to outgrow McDonald.  Tan Cak Tiong is fast
                expanding worldwide.  How often we give up on the edge of victory when the vein of a gold mine is just a bend away.  Many stop when they
                have problems

       10.  Seize the Day.  When opportunities come seize it.  When opportunity is gone it is gone forever.  Like a FB post.  Its algorithim says it is visible only
              for say 25 mins or after 25 views.  When that is over the post is over, you may not see it again

              You see a prospect, claim it. The company offers you opportunity to make more due to a promo, grab it.  It may not be offered again   Time waits for no
               one.   The universe is unfolding as it should.  It waits for no one

       11.   Problems solving

              Your task as a sales person is to offer solution ie solve problems of customer.  Thus you have to be very positive about a day.  A negative thought drives
               away positive thoughts and Karma.  Hence you may not be able to sell if you are negative  Do not be overcome by problems for you to sulk.  You are 
                the light of this earth.  You are to give guidance for those who are lost.  Your smile and advice will be valuable to those who are despondent

               Be a problem solver.  Do not be a victim

     12.   Your success is written in the routine.  Change your habits and then surely the trajectory of your life will change  Get out of your comfort zone.  Be the way
              you are and  expect the same in your life. 

             Expecting different results without changing yourslef is insanity.   Albert Einstenin
