The idea knowledge you need as a business marketer
This question keeps running day in day out through my mind and I felt the urgent need to give it an answer. When it comes to the business world, there is no perfect skills that depicts how a business should be run or managed. The business world is just like an open field where all you needed is present, the only thing needed from you is to go in and make use of the materials you think really suit your taste.
In respectful to the fact that there is no perfect skills on how a business should be marketed, that doesn't not mean that there is no guideline in place to ensure that the business is marketed to the right channel. For instance, if #mr A needs A car, you don't expect me to market a building material like #cement to him. He will never buy the idea. If you are marketing, you should always make sure that what you are marketing is what the consumer wants or it is closely related to what the consumer needs. For example, if #mr Mike needs cement for the construction of his house, do you know I can market #blocks to him? He will surely buy it because he knows he needs it. This is what I personally called #related marketing.
Related marketing should be a core and integral part of marketing. This aspect should not in any way be toiled with. This will go a long way to ensuring that marketing is been done in the rightful manner. Before I digress further, permit me to educate you on what #marketing is.
Who is a marketer
A marketer can be defined or seen as an individual who sells products and services to the market(consumer). For marketing to be complete, the final consumer must be there.
As a marketer, have it on the back of your mind that you are tasked with the sole responsibility of researching, communicating and analysing.
Why is Marketing important in a business
When you are about setting up a business, you should consider the marketing side of it very important. This is the integral part of the business, it is just like the foundation on which your business will scale. The reason marketing is very important in a business is because you need #awereness for your business. Just imagine I set up a business in my locality without me telling anybody about it, it will make my business to get stall and I will surely suffers lots of downtrend from such decision. Don't be deceived, you have to make your business well known. Your business won't promote it self by itself.
Didn't you at times wonders why #banks have more #marketers? You will be thinking everybody knows is a bank and they will always walk down there to carry out their transaction. #banks needs your savings so that they can use it to trade. Apart from that, they are marketing their product, they are indirectly letting others have the awareness that their bank exist and at same time, they might end up convincing you that their bank is better than the rest. This is simply marketing.

With that in mind, make surely you are connecting with them properly. You must be jovial and always wear good smile. Your sense of dressing must be good. Take those bank marketers as case study, their dress sense is meaningful, this makes the consumer to accept them perfectly.
-
Use targeted marketing skills: If you want to prosper fast in marketing, you should learn how to do #targeted marketing. I mentioned this above in this post. Take for instance, if I want to build a 🏠 house and you market anything related to building to me, I will surely give you a listening ear than when you will market a car to me. Try to make sure you know what your consumer wants and on that basis, market something related to him/her.
-
Be a good story teller - not just a story teller, but relate it to your business: There is this popular #bitcoin story that talks about a man who #trade #bitcoin for #pizza. This kind of story will shapen your customers mind and makes them want to save rather than eat their investment.
-
Learn how to draft your schedule and work with time effectively: Time is a very important tool a marketer needs to operate with. You can't set a date for a prospect that reads 11:00 am, then you will end up showing around 5pm. You won't be taken seriously. Always cherish time and learn to arrive on time.
-
Don't settle for less: Setting target for yourself is very important. Learn how to work on your self and never settle for less. If you are marketing to #farmers, you can opt your game by marketing your product to people in the #oil field.
-
Apply for more marketing lesson: You have to attend more marketing classes, don't feel like you know all. Go into seminars and broaden your marketing knowledge by simply making use of the web. Watch marketing videos on youtube and browse the net for more knowledge. This will help you in all ways. Remember we learn everyday.
-
Apply digital marketing skills: The world is now digitalized, so make use of such medium. I have a friend who sells wears. He makes use of whatapp for his business, he created a business whatapp account and use it to promote his wears. With that, he is now delivering his goods to another state, he is no longer a local marketer.
