Differentiate Strategies in place with your Competitors

Know what competition do & just dont follow them randomly (Dont hate them too). Customer centric Innovation in the product & strong customer support. You have to create a road map for innovation on user experience & functionality. Customer support should always come from heart & not just a process. Customer service should be well guarded by the leadership. Be reasonable in your pricing.

Unique strategies that gone unseen or a superhit.

Be human (Internal & External Communication)! Process, automation, checklist, systems etc, are good to eliminate error & human dependency. However always remember it is group of people who are doing business. Therefore, just offer everything with human touch, be it Product (Funny pop ups), Emails (Add some reference), Support (Address with name etc.), Sales (Customize to the need), Advertisements (Humans) & Most important - hiring (Be nice to people who dont make it)! In short stay humble!

Your employees should know & speak up same language (hence train them well). All communication should have consistency. There are so many other factors, however this to create the basic brand identity. Brand Image, Character, culture, soul & personality are other fine details, however it comes much later.

Opportunities for Business in 2012- the ways to take advantage of them

Reading FDI intelligence report, our domestic demand for IT is to surpass US $ 90 billion in next decade. Now thats huge! Hence we would need more computers, software, & other IT services. Online business and cloud based software has seen spectacular growth. SME & start-ups look the best!

Todays Marketing Trend

Gone are the days when we pushed messages to prospects. It is a two way conversation, which is challenging and keeps you on the edge of the seat. Today, we have better informed customers. We have moved on from USP listing to product literature mode. Example, if you choose to buy a camera there are enough information / ratings available with comparisons. Social media has made organization more human than faceless. Today customers want to try first and then use your product or service. There are lot of free trials offered that a new trend!.

Biggest pain point

Though we are moving forward, the sales & marketing efforts have become more genuine. Change is hard to fight!

Matrix to Long sale cycle and multiple Buyers at same time

Not sure if I understand you correctly. For a long sales cycle we designed a C-Sat (a typical customer satisfaction survey with metrics such as complaints, experience etc.)

Accurate model of customers buying process

Yes, we do!

Relationship of Marketers with the CEOs

This is an interesting questions. While sales directly effects top line and marketing involves expense hence the bottom line therefore, CEO work very closely with CMOs. Also marketing stands for communication internally and externally, it displays the image of the company, therefore CEO watch the marketers very closely. Hence it is a more exposed relationship! The difficult times are explaining budget & expenses. Most CEOs understand how strategic marketing is! As long as there are enough transparent campaigns the relationship is smooth. Every marketer should strive to have excellent relationship. One should understand CEOs limitations and vice-versa.
