Business Development :Marketing Perspective
Using publishing platform Pulse to publish articles increase the visibility of the organization against
search. Complete information of the previous assignments add multiple positive points for the
organization
Facebook and Twitter are bit more conversational medium so these can be used as 2-way
communication channels. For example: On Twitter fortnightly/monthly tweet-chat with experts on
relevant topics can be done which will add value to the audience.
Searching for relevant questions on Quora and answering them will help the customers to clear their
doubts and also increase the credibility of the organization.
Regular useful articles on blog, but again instead of writing them as one person/company, motivate
employees to showcase their knowledge/expertise via articles. This will also give them recognition
and showcase that your team is an expert on the topic.
Creating case study, best practices etc. decks and uploading on Slide share. This will showcase the
activeness and expertise of the companies
You tube can also be used to market the product and the assignment done with the previous clients
very effectively.
Hitting the right point : Cracking the deal
Creating a matching between the solutions and the capabilities it will deliver to the
solve the problems of the clients
Defining that how the customer’s world would be after investing in our solutions
Mapping the emotional buying decision with the logical reasons
Emotional Buying Behavior
People get emotional when they
get a solution to satisfy their
needs which motivate the change
Logical Reasons
When we find out a solution as per
our need we develop a rationale to
justify the investment
So hitting the customer at the right point by providing a logical basis for motivating the
change would definitely help to close the sales deal
Thank You
