The Missing Piece in the Marketing Plan

Complete your marketing plan puzzle!

Learn the answers to these questions : "Where will the product or service be sold?" "How do we penetrate distribution channels?", "How many distribution channels do we need to penetrate?"Most marketing people fail to formulate a well-defined place or distribution strategy in developing a marketing plan because this task is thought to be the responsibility of sales. The result is usually an anemic plan and misaligned sales strategy execution.

  • an enhanced understanding of sales strategy and ability to communicate clearer sales directions - put an end to relegating the sales strategy to your sales manager because you are in charge of the whole marketing mix!

Key benefits for the company:
The company will gain:

  • marketing managers who can provide in the marketing plan a clear place strategy for the sales organization
