Strategic/marketing plan
Objectives

To gain dominance in specialized niche
Electronics
To get more out of our reps
To get more out of our sales force

Before Getting Started
A word about D.B.Management and how we
operate: This is what we promise you
1. We teach you how to sell and market we dont do it for you.
1. We help you with all of your sales/ strategic and marketing needs. We
train, we strategize, we help you to compete better and we show you how
to win.
2. We work with strategically and tactically not specifically. We dont get
involved in specifics like customers and pricing. By doing this we work with
more than one client at a time in the way that a personal trainer/ coach
does
2. The very nature of our work is highly confidential. What happens in your shop
stays in your shop.
3. We equip you to compete successfully in the marketplace.
4. Besides being strategists we are implementers. If our are plans are not
realized through direct implementation and success measurement, you will not
be successful and we will not be successful.
5. When we take on a client we assume responsibility for their success.

The message: By getting the right message out we will make
people doubt themselves when they use other shops
They will second guess themselves and get to the point where they feel that
they have not done the very best for their company by using Strategic Plan
Sample. By reading our constant message they will have a great picture of
what Strategic Plan Sample can do, and that we are the best value in the
industry
We are reliable
We can show ads and scenarios where terrible things happen when boards
are not there on time or if they fail
There is a definite need for a shop that can
do everything we can do
Strategic Plan will meet that need of getting
the right message out to the right people.
