Benefits of the Process 1 2 The External Market Audit Are there market segments with potential buyers you haven t found yet? The External Market Audit involves interviewing potential customers to develop a deep understanding of their needs and actual purchasing behavior. This process looks behind what prospects say to uncover their true needs and motivations. When we profile the customers who are motivated to buy, we can identify the market segments where they can be found. 3 4 Controlling Perception What does your brand, website and collateral say about your company and its products? Controlling how the market perceives you is critical to building your business. The Customer Cultivator system seeks to find consistency in your communication with the market from your field sales team, your promotional material, and your website. The core of your positioning power is in your brand identity. We will help you refine your identity and hone the market s perception of you.

The Internal Process Audit identifies how sales, marketing, design and project management functions work together to meet customer needs. We will coach your people who deal with the customer to maximize communication while minimizing administration and internal politics. A harmonious team means people who have the capacity and discipline to focus externally on the customer. Spreading the Word Is there a cost-effective way of attracting a potentially interested audience? Marketing to attract new business doesn t have to be prohibitively expensive. Cost-effective marketing is achieved by understanding what behaviors you want to elicit from the prospect, then using tools to elicit these behaviors.
