Questions to Defining Your Business
I
begin every marketing strategy by answering these critical questions. These
questions should be considered on a daily basis, but be formally answered and
reviewed at least semi-annually.
1. Who are we?
2. What do we do?
3. Who buys our
products and services?
4. What are they
really buying from us?
5. Where are our
customers?
6. What is our
market environment?
7. What is our
selling cycle?
8. How are we better
or different than our competition?
9. Why are we the
best choice for our customers?
10. What obstacles
do we have to overcome in our marketing plan?
11. What is our
marketing message?
12. How can we
communicate it on an ongoing basis?
