11. What is Marketing?
Marketing is an organizational function
and a set of processes for creating,
communicating, and delivering value
to customers and for managing
customer relationships
in ways that benefit the
organization and its stakeholders.
“ The future is not ahead of us. It has
already happened. Unfortunately, it is
unequally distributed among
companies, industries and nations.”
12. Selling is only the tip of the iceberg
“There will always be a need for
some selling. But the aim of marketing
is to make selling superfluous. The aim
of marketing is to know and understand
the customer so well that the product or
service fits him and sells itself. Ideally,
marketing should result in a customer
who is ready to buy. All that should be
needed is to make the product or
service available.”
Peter Drucker
