His Competency Portfolio
Business Development - over 20 years
Business success is about controlling costs, but it is also about having the right board structure, a dynamic leadership, the right corporate culture, the right product mix, selecting the right markets, differentiating from competitors, creating a customer-centric team which has clear communication with internal customers as well as external. The goal of all presentations, all custom written to address the client's specific needs, is to build loyal customer base and increase ROI. Simple messages told dynamically with humor and easy to implement immediately.
Studies show that in today's dynamic and "new media" marketplace, with a new age demographic attitude, 95% of all traditional advertising and marketing does not work. How do we clearly differentiate ourselves from competitors; What marketing/advertising channels do we use; How do we measure their effectiveness and ROI; What is the impact in the bottom line of loyal customers? What "tools" can we use to create "front of mind recall"; What part does price play; How do we overcome price objections; What is the ROI from customer service?
It is the size of the idea, not the budget. How do we maximise our ROI from our marketing spend? In a highly competitive environment, we must measure the effectiveness of everything we do. How do we implement effective marketing metrics?
Brand equity and loyal customers decrease marketing costs, increase margins, ROI, team morale - in fact, make great commercial sense. PWC studies show that customer service contributes more to ROI, corporate growth and profit margins than either product initiatives or advertising. How do we make a company more customer-centric, build team spirit? Examples and simple applications.
