Relationship of Marketers with the CEOs
This relationship is a very important one and we have seen the CEO playing effectively the role of the CMO as well. And in todays time, the CEO and the CMO must be closely associated to define and implement marketing strategies. After all, customers and prospects define and create business success stories.
From a customer point of view Purchasing of a product Is
Relationship with customers and the rapport we share with them is perhaps the key influencer in strengthening product and/ or services purchases. Customer should be

1. Confident that the product and/ or services being purchased will effectively meet business requirements

2. Confident that the seller delivers the right product and/ or services, catering to all the requirements with high quality.

4. Trust that the seller will support the product, providing efficient and quality maintenance.

Some of the Marketing Appeals & Tactic
Winning customer trust has always been our primary goal. It is this rich history of long lasting customer relationships which helps us reach deeper in the market attracting more customers. Advertisements, participation in conferences prove to be extremely beneficial in creating new business networks and opportunities.
Past, present and future of Marketing for marketing experts
Earlier marketing was all about selling the products that were on hand. Nowadays its about understanding customer needs, giving feedback to design and development teams about the kind of products and/ or services needed in the market, and reacting to customer feedback.
