Business Workshop: Target Marketing, ‘Fishing with a Spear, Not a Net’ presented by SCORE of Fairfield County:

SCORE of Fairfield County presents Target Marketing, ... ‘Fishing with a Spear, Not a Net’ 

Historically the ‘sales lead generation’ process has been characterized by the classic ‘sales funnel' wherein the seller casts a wide net over a large group of prospective customers with hopes of connecting with interested prospects.

Today’s digital world and related resources provide the seller with the means to implement more effective “targeted’ marketing with a specific benefit message to a better-defined audience.

During the workshop we will:

• Examine the ’traditional’ approach to lead generation (the classic ‘sales funnel') and its implications and limitations.
• Present an alternative ‘targeted’ approach to lead generation and its benefits.
• Discuss the importance of differentiating your product or service to enable you to compete - with-advantage rather competing on price.
• Present ways in which you might differentiate your product / service, and provide several examples to illustrate this concept.
• Discuss how to use your competitive advantage(s) to identify your best target customers. 
• Review the benefits derived from ‘Target Marketing’ vs. traditional sales lead generation
