How can I justify marketing costs during the current business downturn?

Many businesses are simply running and hiding as this current downturn is progressing.  The natural and appropriate response is to cut costs, however,  that can lead to hasty decisions. Such as cutting your marketing budget. 

 

Compelling evidence from prior recessions clearly shows that cutting marketing expenses during an economic slowdown can cause both immediate and long-term reductions in profit and brand awareness. 

 

By staying the course on your marketing plan and decreasing your budget by outsourcing selected marketing services, you can turn what seems like a crisis into an opportunity to increase market share, even dominate your market. 

 

So, while your competition is asleep at the wheel, you will become prominent in an uncluttered market environment, creating brand awareness, increasing sales and profits. Companies that prosper during a downturn are more likely to prosper afterwards.  And the best place to do this is with us  You can bank on it!

How can Applied Marketing Systems help me increase my sales?

Can Applied Marketing Systems help me close more sales?

Any business enterprise that is staying afloat knows what it takes to make sales.  However, we can help you strengthen your sales process by learning about your sales style and recommending adjustments to increase your closing ratio.  Many business owners get caught up on the paper side of the selling process and forget that brochures and proposals, while important parts of the selling equation, are not the primary focus.  What is important is understanding what will motivate a prospect to buy your products and/or services.  We teach your sales team how to effectively handle objections and close sales.

How do I select a consultant?

We suggest that you ask the following questions:

 

  • Does the consultant have practical experience?

  • Have they ever actually implemented a variety of marketing process themselves in an actual enterprise?  Many consultants are "Hopping on the Bandwagon" after taking a course or two.  Be certain of your consultant's experience and credentials.

  • Is the consultant a team leader?

  • Can they assist you in all of areas of your sales and marketing needs?

  • Are they flexible enough to customize services to meet your company's goals, management style, corporate culture and scheduling demands?

  • Are they reasonably priced?  Is there any flexibility in their pricing policy?

  • Do they offer on-site support during the entire marketing program implementation process?

  • How do they handle questions after the consulting engagement? Who will respond to your questions?

  • Do they have the ability to communicate on all levels of your organizational structure?

  • Most of all, do you feel comfortable with them and their individual style?

What are typical costs associated with Applied Marketing Systems' services?  

The first cost associated with establishing a solid marketing program is the assessment process. You may choose to utilize only internal resources or rely completely on the assistance of an outside consultant.  The best and most common approach is a combination of both.

 

The cost of the assessment does not include consultant expenses, but a knowledgeable and experienced consultant is "worth his weight in gold".  Consulting Firms vary in their prices and terms.  

 

The cost of our services will vary depending on the size and scope of the engagement.  Consulting firms charge by consultant Days.  Consultant Days are determined by numbers of employees.  We can provide you with specific cost details for your business.
