Editor's Notes
The current situation has pointed out the following weaknesses existing at Able: Lack of branding Lack of a working CRM system Inefficient business development process High costs of sales: while the cost to acquire a new client is much higher than maintaining an existing clientAfter implementing our marketing plan, you will expect to see the additional strengths in branding, reduced costs of sales, a new business development team, and a functioning CRM in place. Page 4However there are still potential issues to address outside of a marketing scope of work.
After we conducted a primary research targeted to your current and potential clientele (CBRE, Trammel Crow, Simon Property Group, Jones Lang Lasalle etc) which received a total of 40 responses, we found several branding, communications and sales strategy problems. Page 21Here are 2 most prominent findings we have that will help set up the new sales structure and marketing strategy.When we asked real estate managers/brokers about what is the first source of information they turn to to find out about janitorial services, 42% said on-site manager. 22% would search the Internet.72% would be attracted and inclined to buy more services if there is a quarterly promotions offer.
Based on a thorough SWOT and situation analysis to understand Able’s position relative to competition and the industry, as well as customers insights from our primary research, we have come up with an integrated marketing strategy.
In phase 1, Able will establish a positive presence in 2 markets: North TX (DFW) and South TX(Austin/SA/Houston). These metropolitans have the highest potential in office real estate growth as well as medical custodial services growth. Page 31
Once Able capitalizes on Texas’s growth, we will have the leverage to branch out and expand into these 3 additional markets. Phase 2: 3 markets Seattle/Portland, Phoenix, Charlotte/Raleigh
Here’s an example of the marketing deployment timeline. Please refer to the marketing plan hard copy in the appendix section for more details.

Hire 6 marketing directors: California, North TX, South TX and the 3 markets in phase 2: Seattle/ Portland, Phoenix, Charlotte/Raleigh-Durham
Marketing Director is a crucial hire. A seasoned marketing leader will help re-brand Able Building Maintenance at the market level, take charge of CRM and help area managers as well as property managers in the region boost sales.
