The Apropos Marketing Foundation Workshop
Prepare Your Business to Hit a Sales Bull’s-Eye!

At this three-hour workshop, you will develop the two most important
marketing elements for your business:  MESSAGE and TARGET MARKET

The Apropos Marketing Foundation Workshop will help you kick-start your sales. It is a roll-up-your-sleeves, interactive session for developing a message that explains your benefits and selecting a target audience who is likely to respond. These two elements form your marketing foundation, which supports and extends everything you do to reach out and win customers. This workshop is designed for business owners, managers and sales and marketing professionals – anyone who wants to hit a sales bull’s-eye!

Ü The bad news is that 72% of business failures are due to lack of revenue (U.S. Census Bureau survey).

Ü The good news is that simply having an effective message and well-defined target can double or triple your chances of success!

●  Develop a solid draft of your message and target market in only 3 hours

●  Accelerate your sales and marketing – toward business growth

●  Guaranteed to be helpful or your money back

 

Additional Information About the Workshop

Everyone wants a successful business with satisfied customers. To win customers, people have to get to know and like what you offer, which is why it is so important to actively engage in sales and marketing. Some think you have to be a marketing whiz or sales guru to do it, but that really is not true. It is a discipline, like any other, and persistence and a willingness to learn count more than anything in the long run.

So where to begin? The first essential step is to decide who you are selling to and what you want to say to them. In other words, develop an effective message explaining your benefits and select a target audience who is likely to respond. These two elements are your marketing foundation because they play a part in everything you do to reach out and win customers. Moreover, having an effective message and well-defined target can accelerate your sales, even to the point of doubling or tripling your product’s chances of long-term success!

The Apropos Marketing Foundation Workshop leads attendees through a process for developing a message and target market for the product or service they want to sell. The workshop is both active and interactive: Arrive with pen and paper in hand; leave with a solid draft of your message and target market. Along the way you will learn about key concepts such as:

●  The sales and marketing process

●  Defining your essential benefit

●  Selecting a target market

●  Writing an effective, credible message

You will have opportunities to create, discuss and refine these elements for your business, as well as to learn from the comments and experiences of other participants. This workshop is as enjoyable as it is productive!
