Signature Package)

Page 8: Final Team Paper

Final Marketing Paper 8

All businesses and organizations have customer experience, on one level or

another. It’s the interaction and communication that takes place with you and the

customers as they initially or systematically learn about your company. Customers try

and then buy your business merchandise or service, receive feedback, and share ideas.

How was your customer’s experience today? Is it effective or ineffective? Do your

returns show profitability? In essence, are your customer’s experiences working on your

behalf or contrary to you? This results-based, rapid-results technique for handling the

customer proficiency throughout the cycles of service (external and internal), describes,

analyzes, and reforms customer interaction points. This service package perpetually

offers exceptional amount of service for the cost (Fraterman, 2003).

Producing and Maintaining a Customer Centered Corporate Culture

This approach is an approach geared toward an operative and matter-of-fact development,

making use of the Emotional Quotient inventory instrument. The Emotional Quotient is an

evaluation tool manipulated in self-development, expressive intelligence, and expressive and

societal competencies. This gauge measures the assembly of aptitudes: Intrapersonal,

interpersonal, stress control, flexibility, and general disposition. This form of information will

be an asset to the company when measuring abilities related to employee job functions

("Emotional Quotient in Statistics Solutions",).

Customer Satisfaction Measurement Process

An effective process for capturing and deploying the voice of the customer by ensuring

the right survey methodology, well-planned, bought into by all stakeholders and resulting in

relevant action. Surveys designed and delivered in strategic partnership (Fraterman, 2003).

Page 9: Final Team Paper

Final Marketing Paper 9

Customer Service Coaching

Proficient trainings will be implemented for staff who will be serving customers first

hand. Training will be provided for leading service manager as well front line staff and service

leadership training for managers. These training will be in addition to classroom and on-line

training (Fraterman, 2003).

Employee Survey Development

An effective process for capturing and deploying the voice of the employee is critical in

the context of the People-Service-Profit chain. This process not only ensures buy-in in advance

and strategically focused survey design, but it also pays attention to the key drivers of employee

satisfaction. Surveys are designed and delivered in strategic partnership. A significant feature of

the process is the post-survey "actioning" phase for which Savvy Inc. have designed the proven

Listen-Feedback-Action Process.

Strategic Customer Review Process

This process includes interactive, demonstrative, and functional methods for building

high customer relationships. It provides an objective and thorough ‘snapshot’ of the relationships

with individual key customers. It also delivers the chance for strengthening relationships and

loyalty, and shifting away from a need focused customer relationship towards a respected and

trustworthy relationship (Fraterman, 2003). Listen-Feedback-Action Process

A stimulating training method aided in the Manager-to-Leader shift and to inspire employees

(Fraterman, 2003). Process Animation Workshop

An operative implement mechanism for educating cross-functional teamwork within a vital

business procedure and motivating a customer centered organization wide (Fraterman, 2003).

Final Marketing Paper 10

Product Life Cycle and the Factors

Every product has a specific life span, which is called a natural life cycle. The life span of

a service or product is surrounded by when the product is developed and the life cycle in which it

goes through before the product is removed. This is extremely supported by technology,

competition and even the rationality of a business’s marketing department. Objectives, brand

names, and advertising are some of the ways your product moves through the product cycle. The

life cycle has four stages that will be explain in the next few paragraphs. Savvy Solution

Consulting Firm, Inc. plans to move at an easy and steady pace (Neil Kokemuller, Demand

Media, 2007).

Our clients are not rushed and we do not make them feel like a number, but relevant and

important. The time in which it takes a product to go through the life cycle will determine the

longevity of that product. This is the length to show how long the product is likely to remain

sustainable in the industry. Some opposition is likely to accelerate the product life cycle as

additional businesses strive to drive the production ahead. The movement factors consist of four

stages: introduction, growth, maturity, and decline (Kristie Lorette ). The introduction stage is

when the product is introduced to the market. At this point the product can be priced at a high

cost to cover their RND, also in the beginning stage there is no competition and the product is

exclusive (Neil Kokemuller, 2007).

Next is the growth stage, at this point the product is bringing in small amounts of sales

and competitors are beginning to surface. At this time advertisement is used to promote the

product and the price is reduced to open more outlets as a penetration strategy. Once the product

reaches the maturity stage the company presents the product at the next cost level, this will

reduce advertisement spending and allow the company to focus on the marketing aspect. The

Page 11: Final Team Paper

Final Marketing Paper 11

last, stage is called the decline stage; there are a couple of choices when it comes to this stage.

One can re-launch the product or let the product decline in the market.

In order to allow the product to decline one would sell more and reduce the stock by

having promotions, sales, raffles, and product give-a-ways (Neil Kokemuller, 2007). In the

competing business industry, businesses should continuously observe their services and products

to better assist consumers. What succeeded and produced revenue a year ago may not work as

effective this year. Positioning and product differentiation are vital pieces of a business’s

marketing strategy and are essential to keeping in front of competition. They also demand a

modern spirit jointed with cautious analysis.

Positioning and Differentiation

Product differentiation is the unification of characteristics, such as price or quality, into a

creation to inspire the proposed customers to distinguish it as desirable and different. For

example, Savvy Solution Consulting Firm, Inc. truly believes that they will win more of the

correct work on its chosen terms, while earning more doing it. Client service is crucial to the

success of the company. Our company has a 24 hour emergency toll free number for advice that

they can access at any time.

Positioning is how you furnish your service or product brand identity as you go to

market. Once the determination to differentiate your service or product is decided upon,

positioning it will follow. Savvy Solution Consulting Firm, Inc. is proud to present all of their

clients with the TQM or the Total Quality Management approach. Total Quality Management

can be synopsized as a management method for a customer attentive organization that includes

all employees in constant progress.

Page 12: Final Team Paper

Final Marketing Paper 12

It uses data, strategy, and efficient communications to assimilate the quality regulation

into the activities and culture of the organization.

Price Strategy

The fees of Savvy Solution service is rough measure, because it depends on how business

values our particular services. If business is willing to pay the fair market value, then they feel

they are receiving their true value in services. The cost of services is to rough measure of the

value of the resources used in the planning, time and implementation of services to meet our

customer needs. Businesses needs that can be aided cost effectively. Savvy Solution goal is not

to just meet the needs of the popular, but the profit-minded businesses (Perreault Jr., Cannon, &

McCarthy, 2011, Pg. 13).

Savvy Solution fees are per customer basis; these marketing methods present a fairly

low-cost way to advice, encourage, and stimulate Businesses. Marketing and promotions can

position Savvy Solution marketing mix as a firm who can meet the business’s needs (Perreault

Jr., Cannon, & McCarthy, 2011, Pg. 414). A number of businesses are rating the work done by

consulting firms, and the business pay depends on the performance. It dropped its essential

commission to about 13 percent. Sometime, it paid the consulting firm a bonus of about 3

percent on outcome that receive an outstanding Performance. Sometime the consulting firm

earned a medium performance, it forfeit the bonus (Perreault Jr., Cannon, & McCarthy, 2011,

Pg. 425).

Savvy Solution did numerous researches to consider how to charge for our services.

Savvy Solution took in final consideration would we charge per hour or per job, and would we

work “on retainer,” which we deliver consulting services on a frequent basis as needed. This

shall regulate how even and consultancy’s our cash flow. Savvy Solution basic fees are $294 per

Page 13: Final Team Paper

Final Marketing Paper 13

hour, their entry-level consultant goes for $175 per hour and employees’ salaries are typically

$30-$75 per hour (Swan Mountain Consulting Group, 2013, Para. 1).

Observing intelligence and recognize prospects to enhance the effect of radios. In our

progressively fervent globe, to have a growing business we need to stay informed with events

surrounding our company. Savvy Solution electronic broadcasting will monitor public relations

clarifications allow a day-to-day evaluation of beyond 180,000 worldwide electronic news

informants and a massive of public newspapers locations 90 forms of communications. We can

generate other current public relation plans and operations in knowing what is in the news.

Public relation opportunities for Savvy Solution Consultation, Inc. Firm are resources, such as an

ad on a social network, like twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and even Pandora. Facebook, Twitter,

and MySpace all have an ad that is very detailed on the side where you can go and like it.

Pandora helps because once a person listened to a certain amount of songs they have up

to a minute ad that explains and shows a brief video or a picture so that you can get a better

understanding. Another way to get your business recognized is billboards and commercials. The

billboard is seen by thousands of future customers because of the size other individuals can see

the board sometimes without driving in a vehicle. Commercial can be a help because you can

have an attractive actor or celebrity that will grab the attention of viewers watching.

The final, form of public relation to use in making your business well-known is to have it

broadcasted on the radio. There are many morning radio shows that can promote your business in

just a minute of time and generate additional consumers who are interested. Having these mass

media can boost your business in other cities and across the world because it is publicized in

many parts through the social media.

Page 14: Final Team Paper

Final Marketing Paper 14

The channel management is most effective when focusing on the increase of market

share. Once we appoint a manager to channel the customers, we were able to analyze the effects

of channel management by comparing the market sharing before and after the program. Diverse

focuses acquire separate administration budgets. With complete transactions over a demand

region may, analyze the expense of employment, member wages, preparation, publicizing

funding, such as journey to regulate the network organization budget. The preference of a

customer determines how sales can increase by having different channels (Ian Linton).

The Internet is the growing change for companies because there is a large amount of

consumer who enjoys shopping online. As you analyze how different channels can affect the sale

growth in companies you will have a better vision on what source of communication you would

use on your business growth. When sending your message through different channels you must

make sure you are selling what you advertise. The information of your product or service must

satisfy the customer (Ian Linton).

To make sure you keep the satisfaction of a customer send out a survey to identify any

problems or request you may have or need to change. If, for example you have a complaint from

the customer about waiting time, you should take the time to improve how a customer wait time

will decrease. Customer service analysis is a lavish way to measure the changing levels of

customer satisfaction (Ian Linton).

Distribution, which is known as placement, is included in the “4 P’s” of marketing (price,

product, placement, and promotion). Distribution channels are a significant part of your total

marketing strategy. They aid in assisting you to magnify your grasp to enter into your market

team, direct Internet marketing, and several consultants.

Savvy Solution had to explore what quantifiable facts can be used to measure the success

of their promotional ads. Are they reaching target market? Are the ads attracting new business?

Savvy Solution knows it is very important to select the right evaluating instrument that is

suitable for our strategy. Quantifiable elements can help Savvy Solution increase our marketing

success, and evaluating our performance can play an important role in our efficiency as a

consulting firm. Some companies are terrified that an evaluation can cast a negative light on their

promotion plan, but fail to realize it can benefit them to conduct a systematic evaluation.

We need to consider each marketing plan that is prepared for the marking budget and

identify the evaluating instrument that will help you track our effectiveness. Savvy Solution must

function within the promotional budget for each quarter. We must take into consideration the;

The cost of generating the marketing plan

All material( including print advertising expenses)

The cost of studies

Time (Payroll)

The cost of implementation of the marketing plan

All travel expenses (including convention and promo shows)

There are numerous ways Savvy Solution can place controls so that can monitor their

advertising budget. If we assess our expenses, we are able to sustain our quarterly budget and

see precisely what our increases or decreases in our budget.

Page 18: Final Team Paper

Final Marketing Paper 18

We need to create a tracking system for each of our strategies for our marketing plan.

When we start a new promotion, we should put into operation our tracking tool. Savvy Solution

understands the best way to get straightforward opinions from our clientele is to use surveys.

Surveys will help us evaluate, monitor, and control the effectiveness of our marketing strategy.

We layout our surveys to get firm figures, and it is easier to record the data by using the

dichotomous question method to be studied. Our marketing department feels that surveys are

more effective when it is a simple and clear question (Council of American Survey Research

Organization, 2013, chap. 8). For example:

1. Have you ever used our service before?

Yes or No

2. Were you pleased with our services?

Yes or No

3. Would your company use Savvy Solutions?

Yes or No

4. Were we able to meet your business needs?

Yes or No

5. Will you recommend Savvy Solution to another business?

Yes or No

6. Did you see our new promotional brochures?

Yes or No

7. How did you hear about our consulting Firm?

8. Were you pleased with how the consultant meet your objective

Yes or No

9. Was Savvy Solution services reasonably prices?

Yes or No

10. Do you feel you were given honorable service?

Savvy Solution does understand by using a closed format questions for survey

their format restricted the consumers from giving their personal opinion. Closed

questions allow us to easily analyze the data retrieved. Savvy Solution has developed a

new marketing plan intended to generate new business, and to increase revenue. We

constantly work our sales department to track the amount of business that responds to a

marketing effort. We hope by tracking this information with our sales department we can

improve our marketing plan, and generate new business.
