    关于市场部的思考……

    市场部的生存现状

    有人说市场部是“做物料的”(负责制作各种宣传物料、促销礼品的);有人说市场部是“做设计的”(设计一些平面广告、专柜、专卖店等);有人说市场部是“做培训的”(培训内部营销人员和外部经销商);有人说市场部是“做促销的”(策划各种促销活动的);有人说市场部是“管品牌的”(进行品牌规划与传播);有人说市场部是“做策略的”(策划品牌、产品、价格、传播、通路策略);有人说一个完整的市场部,以上功能全部都必须有;。。。。。。很多企业都成立了“市场部”,但每个企业对市场部定位、功能理解迥异,众说纷纭。   很多企业的领导人对市场部并不满意,认为市场部并未起到相应的作用,“市场部并不能指导销售”、“市场部对研发方面贡献极少”、“市场部闭门造车,脱离一线”。。。。。。中国企业的市场部普遍存在职能缺位。但另一方面,企业对市场部的要求很高,却并未投入相应的资源。市场部人员数量少、薪酬低、在企业中地位低,这样的市场部,苛求其成为“公司大脑”、“指导销售”不现实。很多市场部经理也并不知道自己要做什么?他们来自销售部门,或是做设计的,做文案的,对市场部的使命、职能并没有一个完整、清晰的理解。所以,才造就了中国企业市场部的“千姿百态”。   

    目前中国企业的市场部主要有三种,可用“SHI”的三种写法来概括,一是“事”场部,二是“市”场部,三是“势”场部。

    “事”场部:“销售要什么我做什么,客户要什么我做什么”

    “事”场部主要存在于“销售驱动型”的公司,在中国为数众多。这类“事”场部的职能定位就是“服务”,偏内,依附于销售部,几乎所有工作指令均来源于销售部或销售副总,“销售要什么我做什么,客户要什么我做什么”,所以“事”场部是“销售导向”,充当“销售助手”或“销售内勤”的角色,与内务部、财务部的工作性质无异。“事”场部的经理有些是来源于销售部门,有些则是半路出家,其工作表现出明显的即期性、可视性和服务性。

    主要的工作有:

    -- 平面设计:品牌VI、平面广告、产品画册等设计。

    -- 展示设计:产品卖场、展架、堆头设计。

    -- 销售工具、宣传物料、促销礼品制作:画册、POP、展具、礼品制作。

    -- 简单的传播:配合销售的线下广告投入。

    -- 服务客户的各种需求,如广告设计、效果图设计、偶尔的一个培训等。

    “市”场部:“市场需要什么,就做什么”

    “事”场部运作一段时间后,有些营销负责人渐渐对“事”场部不满,认为其工作被动,没有发挥引导销售、推动经销商的作用,“闭门造车”,缺乏创造性,于是赋予其更多的职能,主要是情报收集、市场调研、策略规划、传播企划、经销商辅导与培训等,于是“市”场部应运而生。“市”场部的工作在传承“事”场部服务功能的基础上,跳出了“销售”的藩蓠,围绕市场需求而展开。“市场需要什么,就做什么”。眼睛不再盯在公司内,而放眼行业、市场、消费者,眼界与视野也开阔了许多。他们不再被动的等待指配工作,而是主动出击,推动营销策略的实施。其工作表现出动态性、创造性。

    “市”场部的主要工作表现为:

    -- 情报系统:广泛搜集竞争对手、行业经销商的信息,并提出应对建议。

    -- 消费者需求研究:市调、消费者访谈等。

    -- 营销策略规划:年度营销策略

    -- 传播企划:年、季、月度传播计划

    -- 经销商培训与辅导:开展多项培训、编制教材、出版内刊等。

    “势”场部:为未来做事

    “市”场部的工作主要着眼当下,为达成当期的销售业绩、利润指标服务,在很大程度上配合了一些短期的行为,如促销手段的大量运用、激励“移库式销售”、热衷“舞台表演”等。这些职能虽然满足了企业生存的需要,但对“发展”方面却考虑甚少。企业想要永续经营,作百年老店,需要造“势”,制造企业持续发展的动力。

    这些动力包括:企业文化、消费者喜爱的品牌、独有的价值组合。

    -- 培育独特的企业文化;

    -- 确立品牌所代表的价值组合;

    -- 通过传播建立有影响力的品牌。

    当制造势能成为主要任务时,“市”场部转变成为“势”场部。在中国真正的“势”场部并不多,但只有真正做到“势”场部,市场部才能真正发挥其价值。

    市场部要三“SHI”俱备

    一个完整的市场部,要事、市、势俱备,以事为基、闻市而动、铸造势能。既要做实事,做服务,取得销售伙伴与客户的支持;也要围绕市场为中心开展工作,关注市态,与市俱进,提升业绩;同时要面向未来,铸造“企业永动机”-- 持续发展的核心竞争力。

    市场部是长着“两个脑袋”、“三只眼睛”的怪物

    市场部是一个“怪物”,有多重“性格”。市场部要有两个脑袋,一个脑袋思考如何应对现况,一个脑袋思考如何决胜未来。还要有三只眼睛,作为策略人员要一只眼睛看企业,一只眼睛看顾客,另一只眼睛看竞争对手;作为产品人员要一只眼睛看消费者需求,一只眼睛看竞争对手,一只眼睛看技术前沿;作为设计人员要一只眼睛看企业,一只眼睛看市场,一只眼睛看设计潮流。

    洞悉市场经济奥秘的营销金句

    1.医疗条件相同的医院,病人的多寡取决于护士的美丽程度。
    据统计,医疗设备及医生水平相同的医院,病人的多少取决于护士小姐的美丽程度。看来,爱美之心,人皆有之。看病的时候也不例外。

    川航曾打出“美丽川航”的广告,几位美丽的空姐形象引人注目。因为比飞机数量、比硬件等,川航无法和国内其他航空公司相比,但是川航把软件——空姐,作为卖点,同样收到了意想不到的效果,川航的盈利状况和品牌形象不断提升。

    现实的市场竞争中,如果对手异常强大,企业就要学会洞察消费者内心的真实需求,学会找卖点,建立差异化的竞争优势。

    2.你客户的数量决定你生活的质量。

    张瑞敏说,家电业的利润已“像刀片一样薄”,必须创国际品牌。而他非常羡慕中国移动的老板:你无论走到国内国外,走到哪里都要收费,跑得了和尚跑不了庙。什么是让人羡慕的职业?向全国人民收费!俨然中国移动已经是世界上最大的运营商,拥有数以亿计的客户,日子当然好过。

    其实每个企业都是同样的道理,老板的经销商越多、消费者越多,企业的发展就越好,老板的生活质量就高。因此,任何企业要做大,必须要扩大你的客户数量。留住现有消费者,不断开发潜在消费者,积累庞大的客户群,同时积极促进重复消费。

    3.营销就是让消费者只关注价值,忘记价格。

    价值是相对于价格提出的,它是指通过向顾客提供最有价值的产品与服务,拜托价格战的纠缠,创造出新的竞争优势,以此超越竞争对手。

    营销的一个重要任务,就是将价格敏感的产品变成价格不敏感。也就是说,企业的产品和服务满足并超越了消费者预期,消费者就乐于多花钱来购买他喜欢的产品或服务。只有赋予产品声明,通过品牌建设来增加附加值,产品才能溢价。让消费者“只谈价值,不谈价格”。

    同理,在这个世界趋于扁平化的时代,企业品牌营销也需要外脑的介入和扶持,而外脑出卖的是无形的智慧,企业在同外脑的合作中也要清楚价格与价值的关系。几百页的WORD和PPT本身并没有多少价值,但它给企业带来的收益则是无限的。

    4.营销就是让消费者动情。

    在感性营销时代,“情感”是一个纵向贯穿营销全过程、突显出决定性作用的因素。营销工作的任务之一就是赋予产品生命力,让产品与消费者建立情感联系,爱上品牌。

    消费者偏爱购买某一品牌的产品,其原因是“我就喜欢”,而营销的最高境界也可以归结为“就要你喜欢”。不仅要把产品卖到消费者的手中,更要让消费者动情,把产品卖到消费者心中。

    5.你是什么不重要,消费者认为你是什么才重要。

    世界上有很多的资源。最大的资源是什么?是消费者的心智资源。

    有很多企业家说自己的产品质量如何如何高,品质如何如何好。但消费者不知道就等于零。这是个“酒香也怕巷子深”的时代,在这个传播过度的信息社会,在哪吆喝你的产品,吆喝什么内容,对谁吆喝?怎么让消费者认识到、体验到你的产品是好产品,怎么让消费者钟爱你的品牌,都是要通过传播来解决的问题。

    6.再差的定位也好过没有定位。

    有定位未必成功,没有定位注定失败。

    企业犹如在暗夜中漂泊的航船,如果没有方向,无论航行的多快,也不会达到彼岸。甚至搞错方向触礁沉船。有了清晰的定位,就好比获得了灯塔的指引,无论夜多黑,也不会迷失方向。

    企业决志市场,要让消费者知道你是什么,你和别人有什么不同,首先要明晰自己的定位,让自己在消费者的心智中占有一席之地,让消费者建立对应的品牌联想,品牌就成功了一半。而如果没有定位,幻想自己的产品是万能的,幻想把产品卖给所有人,注定会走投无路。

    7.品牌因故事而生动。

    品牌是需要“制造”和“积累”的。

    越是神秘的东西,越是能引起人们的好奇,越是有人想迫不及待地知道它。品牌故事不但可以让一种产品神圣化,而且其神秘性可以让产品及品牌的知名度随之远播,并且这种独特性是竞争对手无法抄袭的。

    品牌故事不但可以使品牌饱满,还能为产品增加附加值,提高溢价能力,让你的消费者愿意支付高价。如果营销不能为品牌增加附加值,营销就失去了意义。单靠传统的促销、买赠等手段是无法建立品牌的。

    8.营销使推销变得多余,品牌使营销变得简单。

    由于品牌重在对消费者的心智战,当消费者对品牌产生了忠诚和依赖感后,一切营销阻碍和难题将会一一破解。

    品牌的价值感使消费者愿意支付更高价格来购买产品,从而规避价格战,确保企业的利润源,如 SONY 的数码消费品;消费者对品牌的依赖感和指名购买,使企业降低渠道开拓成本,如宝洁以最低的进场费进入大型商超。品牌所焕发出来的营销魅力随处可见。

    只有同质化的营销手段,没有同质化的品牌。中国是世界上同质化竞争最为严重市场,中国营销的缺失实际上是品牌的缺失。而品牌是 “过度营销” 留给中国企业家最后一道差异化竞争的“防火墙”。

    品牌化生存是中国企业走出中国式营销泥淖的根本解决之道。

    9.人离乡贱,货离乡贵。

    所谓的“人离乡贱,货离乡贵”强调的是品牌源产地属性对消费者的影像。消费者在产品认知和购买决策方面,会受到产品产地的影响。

    比如,提起乳制品,大家会想到内蒙古的好;提起轻工电器,会想到广东的好。消费者心中自然存在一杆秤,哪个地方的哪个产品好已经形成固定的对应关系。

    营销中要充分利用这一点,也就是说我们的产品要通过“异地插位”来获取市场。敢于走出去,只有走出去,产品才有生命力,才有神秘感,才有更高的价值。如果内蒙古的牛奶不走出内蒙古,那就没有蒙牛和伊利的今天。

    10.品牌是坚持的结果。

    坚持就是胜利,坚持就是成功。

    品牌建设不是一朝一夕之功,需要有水滴石穿的精神。企业的每个行为都要为品牌加分。

    而品牌的核心价值一旦确立以后,在相当长的一段时间内,10年,20年甚至100年,固守这一核心,要做的是不断积累,不断演绎,不断深化,不断丰富,但基石不能动摇。因此,企业每一分钱的投入都应该是紧紧围绕这一品牌核心去展开,牢牢占据消费者的心智,在消费者的脑海中占据一个独特而有价值的位置,生根、发芽、开花、结果,形成牢固而持久的品牌形象。

    Five Quick Tips for Creating Conversations Salespeople Will Use

    Five Quick Tips for Creating Conversations Salespeople Will Use
    If you're like most marketers, you're probably struggling with the best ways to help your salespeople have more meaningful conversations with customers and prospects. Perhaps you believe your salespeople sell too tactically, offering piecemeal solutions and missing the opportunity to serve in a more trusted advisor role. Or perhaps you have great salespeople, but their messages are inconsistent across the field and don't reflect corporate strategy and vision.
    Effectively articulating any company's true business value is a challenge for even the best salespeople. So what percentage of your sales organization can engage customers in discussions that carry them from high-level challenges down to individual solution areas, without leaving the customer lost in translation?
    When connecting the dots from marketing vision to sales execution, you can use these five quick tips for creating scripted conversations to help salespeople more effectively communicate your company's business value to customers and prospects:
    1. Avoid using your own corporate-speak
    Many companies have developed messaging at the corporate level, which likely includes the invention of your own unique term and associated acronym. Unfortunately, that can lead to salespeople's spending their valuable presentation time trying to define and explain the messaging itself and not the associated business value to your customer.
    Instead, try enabling salespeople to tell a story that explores business challenges and your approach to solving them. When it's appropriate in the discussion, sketch in the acronym and link it between the pains and solutions. Next, script a line that says, "Here at XYZ company, we call that...."
    Remember, customers want to know how you solve problems (your unique approach to value). Analysts want to know what you call it (your brand category and acronym).
    2. Use the voice of experience
    Don't think for a moment that you can create this introductory dialogue without interviewing and gathering data from some very seasoned folks in your sales and executive organizations. They are best at sharing a good dose of reality in what an executive tête-à-tête can or cannot be.
    But there is one caveat: Even your most senior executives can sometimes fall back on the same comfortable pitch. Stretch them to help you build an elevated discussion—one that sets your company apart. Make sure they can articulate what you are expecting your salespeople to present. In this role, you'll be as much of a strategist and facilitator as an interviewer.
    Above all, keep this important project on track by owning the result, making decisions that keep it moving forward, and ensuring the project does not become victim of death by committee.
    Remember, this scripted piece will evolve alongside your messaging. Thus, a six-month shelf life is appropriate for this type of sales tool.
    3. Make it meaningful and memorable for customers
    Two suggestions here. First, keep points brief and on target. For example, "We work toward solving three key business challenges" helps customers associate you with specific pain areas right up front.
    Remember, your customer is likely to have to carry your story forward to his/her colleagues to gain buy-in and move the sales process forward. So, keeping your point simple so that your customer can then repeat it in his/her own environment furthers your sales cause.
    Second, use examples. This introductory presentation is a great place to leverage case study (success story) data in a more personal way. Even if you don't/can't use specific company names, cite situations where your company was able to address business pains in a unique and measurable way.
    4. Make it memorable for salespeople
    Technology sales can be very complicated. We have all watched whiteboard presentations with boxes, clouds, and lines... ad infinitum.
    To create the ultimate introductory executive-level talk, you must first determine what is appropriate for your sales team to present—and it probably won't have any technology in it at all. That fact alone can be unsettling to salespeople who are used to drawing (or talking about) boxes and clouds.
    When developing the whiteboard content and corresponding visuals, remember some basic speechwriting rules. Keep sentences short and leverage techniques, such as the art of alliteration and consonance where it makes sense. Avoid lengthy terms, phrases, and acronyms that need to be defined to be understood. Be sure to supplement the whiteboard tool with instructions for use to help salespeople know when and how to engage in such a dialogue. That also helps them mentally prepare for the right time to ease into the script.
    Chances are, if you're going to invest the time and money in creating an executive-level whiteboard conversation for your sales organization, you're probably going to expect them to learn it verbatim.
    But before engaging your training organization to test every salesperson, remember this: You'd better test yourself first. If you can't memorize or even read it, how can you expect the sales team to be successful? Also test the executive team that supported its development. Finally, try out the tool with a small group of salespeople and make last-minute modifications before rolling out to your general sales force.
    5. Build a story that follows a path and paves the way for whatever is supposed to happen next
    Create your introductory whiteboard conversation as the first in a series that helps salespeople move through the sales cycle in a logical, results-focused fashion. Each exchange should have a clearly defined start and finish. And make sure salespeople understand the purpose of each discussion and what activities should follow.
    By building a path for sales to follow, you're helping to ensure that marketing strategy and programs align with your company's sales methodology. Infusing success stories, thought leadership, and ROI tools into the scripts further leverages existing marketing tools into the process.
    Conclusion
    As technology companies focus their salespeople to sell "higher in the organization," whiteboard conversations can serve a critical role in ensuring that early executive-level discussions are targeted and meaningful. But to be successful, these sales aids must be developed to consider the needs of both the presenter and his/her audience.
    And, like all marketing and enablement tools, they must be launched with instructions for use, monitored for acceptance, measured for results, and modified as market needs dictate.

    Managing Your Marketing Career in a Web 2.0 World

    It's no longer the world of work you knew when you graduated from college. The tried and true career management techniques you've been using just don't work in today's marketplace.
    Working hard, writing a compelling resume, staying connected to head hunters are all so... 20th century.
    To achieve the highest level of success and fulfillment today, you must immerse yourself in the Web 2.0 frame of mind. That means developing a new set of career management habits.
    Consider these facts:
    There are over 106 million members of MySpace. If MySpace were a country and members were citizens, it would be the 11th largest in the world, according to Karl Fisch at fischbowl.blogspot.com.
    A former Secretary of Education, Richard Riley, stated recently that the top 10 jobs that will be in the greatest demand in 2010 didn't exist in 2004.
    A Harris Interactive poll revealed that 40% of respondents google people to learn about them.
    According to Business Week, 87% of headhunters use Google and social networks to make decisions about candidates, and 35% of them have eliminated candidates based on what Google revealed.
    Welcome to the world of Web 2.0.
    According to Wikipedia, Web 2.0 refers to a perceived second-generation of Web based communities and hosted services—such as social networking sites, wikis, and folksonomies—that facilitate collaboration and sharing among users.
    Web 2.0 is having a major effect on the way we do virtually everything... or do everything virtually. And that impact is more profound on marketers.
    As a marketer, you are likely immersed in all the novel opportunities that exist in this new connected reality. You probably spend a great deal of time looking for ways to exploit these burgeoning Web 2.0 applications in support of your company's revenue goals. But have you thought about how to leverage Web 2.0 for your career?
    If you want to stay ahead of your peers and keep your career in gear, you must employ the latest techniques in support of your professional growth.
    Here are three ways to leverage Web 2.0 to get ahead.
    Become the perfect passive job candidate
    Soon, you will move from hunting for jobs to being hunted. Job boards will be a thing of the past, and open positions will come looking for you. That means you need to make yourself visible to prospective hiring managers and executive recruiters.
    Social-networking sites and online portals are a great way to connect with like-minded professionals and increase your visibility in your area of thought leadership.
    The MarketingProfs Know-how Exchange, LinkedIn, Ryze, and countless other portals and social-networking sites are your opportunity to become selectively famous. But like most tools, you need to use them if you want them to add value to your career.
    When's the last time you logged into a social-networking site?
    Build your own fan club
    Establish a blog. Make your point of view clear. Build an SEO strategy for your blog so you can attract people who are interested in what you have to say. With RSS feeds and open commenting, you can stay connected to a community.
    Those with whom your message resonates will subscribe to your blog and/or post comments. This is a great way to express your thought-leadership, expand your virtual network, and increase your GQ (Google Quotient).
    Remember, every post you make is one more item that Google will return when someone googles your name. And visibility is essential to professional success.
    Use multimedia to express your views
    Audio and video abound on the Web. They provide a fun, multifaceted way to clearly express your message. With over 50,000 new clips added to MySpace today (the day I wrote this article), video is no longer the exception. And with cool, free audio tools like Audacity, anyone can create sound clips that are professional-sounding.
    A drab resume or Web site that does not take advantage of images, sounds, and movies will likely bore those who some across it. In a world where the average 20-year-old is an amateur film producer and sound engineer, you want to make sure you are using multimedia effectively to communicate your message.
    Sometimes, the medium is the message.
    * * *
    If you want to stand head and shoulders above the crowd and be in charge of your career, you must employ the latest Web 2.0 techniques and be willing to change those techniques as they are replaced by newer opportunities.
    The only constant is change, and the rate of change is increasing. So the Web 2.0 world of today will certainly be replaced by Web 3.0—probably before you know it.
     

    销售管理中的问题及诊治方法

    年初制定销售目标时,企业踌躇满志,轰轰烈烈,可实施过程中每个月都完不成计划。原因何在?

    误区一:资源管理误区。在目标实施过程中,企业对销售资源的投入缺乏优化配置观念。资源是有限的,而完成销售目标对销售资源的需求是无止境的。不少企业在分配销售资源时没有重点,平均分配人力、物力、财力,结果使企业资源投放效果不佳,有潜力的市场没有增加销量,而销售不力的市场仍然是销售平平。同时,企业对资源投入的策略灵活性不够也导致目标未能达成。何时投入,怎样投入,投入多少,投入对象,企业对这些问题没有做认真地调查与研究,企业销售资源的投入比较盲目,直接影响了销售目标的达成。

    诊断:对企业资源的管理与使用应进行系统地策划。首先,分析与研究市场,清楚哪些是饱和市场,哪些是具有开发潜质的市场,哪些是尚待开发的市场。然后根据企业市场发展战略,合理分配与使用企业资源。企业资源的使用又细分为人力、财力、物力、资力的使用,不同市场这些细分资源的使用情况是不同的。有些市场人力和物力资源使用得多;而其他市场财力和资力资源使用得多。灵活运用企业资源的组合策略,发挥企业资源的使用效果和效益。

    误区二:人力管理误区。完成任务离不开销售人员,但企业往往只拿业绩说话,销售得多奖金多;对销售人员的职业成长、观念意识、精神需求等无动于衷。企业只注重物质刺激,而忽视精神鼓励,结果是销售人员对销售任务指标越来越不敏感,逐渐失去激情和动力,缺乏创新意识,团队观念淡薄,企业文化认同感差等,这样的销售队伍难保企业销售计划的完成。

    诊断:满足销售人员的精神需求,不只是进行简单的精神上的奖励,更重要的是对销售人员进行综合性地培训与指导,帮助他们进行职业规划,以及业务技能、企业文化、市场观念、服务意识等方面的培训。通过培训与教育,激发销售人员工作的积极性、主动性和创造性,为顺利完成企业销售目标提供可靠保障。

    误区三:客户管理误区。销售目标的完成与客户支持休戚相关。如果每个客户都能按合同完成任务,那么企业的销售目标的完成就不成问题。因此,建立企业与客户之间良好的互动关系至为重要。但企业对客户管理一般比较单调:以销售任务来约束,以返利来刺激。结果往往是客户得到企业的支持越来越少,与企业的距离也越来越远,对企业的信任度在降低,对销售企业产品的信心也不如当初。最后,销售任务的完成也落空了。

    诊断:客户同样是企业销售系统不可分割的,厂家与客户应该建立亲密的相互支持的战略同盟关系,同辱同荣,共同发展,不应该成为利益的博弈者。厂家对客户不仅提供广告和政策上的支持,而且要提供信息和策略资源上的帮助,达到你中有我,我中有你,协同发展,使销售目标顺利完成。

    误区四:促销管理误区。促销是厂商终端拦截的有力武器,具有操作简单、见效快的特点。厂商百试不厌,屡用屡爽;花样不断出新,如有奖销售、赠品、返券、抽奖、买一赠一等促销形式不一而足,着实让顾客心花怒放、群情激昂了一阵,厂商也达到了烘托气氛,促进销售的目的。但是,随着顾客消费的理性化,这种“雾里看花”式的促销方式会让顾客产生厌烦心理,促销效果大打折扣。

    诊断:回归顾客是终端促销的价值取向。消费者真正所需要的是厂商所能带来的商品效用和服务,厂商应提炼好商品的卖点,通过终端促销,直接向消费者传递商品的价值所在。围绕商品卖点开展终端促销活动,将有力地提高消费者对品牌的认知度,促进商品的终端销售。

    误区五:考核管理误区。只考核销售人员的销量的完成率,其他一概不管。“放任式”的考核办法,咋看起来似有道理:公司只认结果,至于如何实现销售任务那是销售员的事;既发挥了业务员的能动性,又节省了公司的管理成本,何乐而不为?!其实,销售人员完成销售任务是一个过程,受到很多因素的影响,比如工作积极性、组织纪律、业务技能、客户关系、学习精神等等。如果销售人员不具备这些素质和能力,那么销售目标的完成就没有保证。

    诊断:变销售人员的单一考核方式为综合考核方式。销售人员的综合考核不但包括销售量和销售额的考核,还包括市场成长性、销售费用率、业务技能、客户满意等方面的考核。通过对销售人员的综合考核,提高销售人员的综合业务素质,不断积累销售人员完成目标任务的潜力和动力,促进销售计划的完成。

    误区六:渠道策略误区。不少企业认为大客户规模大、实力强,能够给公司带来大的销量;小客户销量有限,销售好坏对公司整体销量影响不大。因此,企业的大量资源砸向大渠道,要广告有广告,要返利有返利,小客户成为企业被遗忘的角落。

    诊断:大渠道、大客户能扩大销售,但同时也是各大厂家竞相追捧的对象——各厂家不遗余力地对大渠道进行投入,争夺渠道资源的竞争愈演愈烈,投入大渠道的边际效益在减少。如果把资源向小客户倾斜一下,那么企业资源的投入产出结果会得到改善,销量会有所提高。小客户虽然小,很多小客户集合起来其规模和实力将不为小了。
