changing market, what are the threats, etc.
To know all this factors, you need to do is SWOT analysis before making any plan action.
Now as a sales manager of any gold company I should analyze:
What are my strengths?
In this we should cover where we are good in?
In what area we serve well or where we do well?
What are your quality ingredients?

team.

Not asking for consultation

for the year.
3.Market research and customer research. ( to know who are your competitors, what services customers wants and how you will
compete in market)
Here you need to identify customer’s wants and demands and requirements and market situations. It is the important to exist in environment.

•What’s your current market position: Including any strengths, weaknesses, opportunities or threats
•Who are your competitors? What are their strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats?
4.Understand your targeted customers. ( what your customers wants by your gold loan services)
Use this information to build out an ideal customer profile. This can be your ideal ‘perfect customer’ or a fictitious organization
that gets significant value from using your product/service and also provides significant value to your company. A customer profile
helps you qualify new leads and disqualify ones before you spend months barking up the wrong tree and under-delivering on your
sales plan.
5.Map out your customer’s journey. ( to know before you, where your customers were enjoying services and what kind of)
With your ideal customer profile in place, the next part of your sales plan needs to address how that customer becomes your
customer. We can do this by mapping out their journey from prospect to loyal customer.
So, what do we need to know about our soon-to-be customers? Let’s start with the basics to ask them:
•What do you want our product to do for you?
•What features are important to you? Why?
•What's your budget for this?
•How are you currently solving this problem?
To fully understand their journey as a customer start by asking about past buying experiences:
•When was the last time you bought something similar to our service or product?
•Was that a good or bad experience? Why?
•How did you make your decision back then? What was the decision-making process like?
•How did you evaluate different offers?
•What were the deciding factors that made you chose that particular solution?
6.Define your value propositions. (let your customers know how you are different from other gold loan companies and how different you are
in services as compared to others)
Now we need to fit ourselves into it in the best way possible. This comes from defining your competitive advantage.
When describing your value proposition, it’s easy to get caught up in talking about you. What you’ve made. What you do. Instead, flip the script and
talk about what your product will do for your customers.
Make customer know about your product and services and make them know
•Why do customers buy from us?
•Why do customers buy from our competitors and not us?
•Why do some potential customers not buy at all?
•What do we need to do to be successful in the future?

Affirmations, visualizations and meditation all work together when you add action to the formula

The seven distribution channels to choose from are: retail, online, direct sales, events, mail order, phone sales or agents.
9.You’re not done yet! Track, measure, and adjust as needed. ( if needed check your plan again)
Set regular meetings (at least monthly) to review progress on your sales plan, identify and solve issues, and align your activities across teams to
optimize your plan around real-world events and feedback. Learn from your mistakes and victories, and evolve your sales plan as needed.

establish LinkedIn pages with similar content that contain links to the company's website and product offerings.
FOR EXAMPLE: It is also another option to reach out maximum number of customers, you can provide information regarding gold loan on one. It will
help customers to catch out information in one place.
3.Print Advertising
If there is one thing that's certain about advertising, it's that being different is good. And when consumers tire of digital ads, a return to
printed pieces and the tactile feeling and permanence they provide is definitely in the cards. Typically, print can be split into three
subcategories:
A. Periodical Advertising
If it's in a magazine, a newspaper, or anything else that comes out at regular intervals, then it's periodical advertising (aka a print ad).
For decades, print ads were the gold standard for advertisers and their clients. To grab the center spread of a big magazine or the back
cover of a newspaper meant millions of people saw the message.
FOR EXAMPLE: Giving ad periodically in newspaper, magazines regarding gold loan discount, interest and schemes can also help
to us reach out maximum number of customers.
B. Brochures, Leaflets, Flyers, Handouts, and Point-of-Sale Advertising
Although some of these media can be placed within the pages of newspapers and magazines, they are
treated as a separate entity, usually because they have less chance of being seen. From something that
sits on a counter or customer service desk to a glossy car brochure, small print media offer a more
intimate and long-form way of engaging the consumer. Use this approach when you have more
information than you can cram into a print ad.
FOR EXAMPLE: It is also a great medium to reach out through customers like displaying ad of gold
loan on traffic signals through banners, distributing pamphlets with conveying message what we serve
and why we? Can help us to attract the customer.
5.Broadcast Advertising
A mass-market form of communication including television and radio, broadcast advertising has, until
recently, been the most dominant way to reach a large number of consumers.
FOR EXAMPLE: People are addicted to television, radio in their free time. Through broadcast advertising of
gold loan with ICICI can help us to reach out many customers in a particular time.
6.Outdoor Advertising
Also known as out-of-home (OOH) advertising, this is a broad term that describes any type of advertising that
reaches consumers when they are away from home.
FOR EXAMPLE: Think of billboards, bus shelter posters, fly posters, and even those big digital boards in
Times Square. Here people can reach in bulk to your gold loan with ICICI.
7.Product Placement Advertising
Product placement is the promotion of branded goods and services within the context of a show or movie,
rather than as an explicit advertisement.
FOR EXAMPLE: Putting your gold loan information in movies, games, or books so that they receive
more visibility from audiences. With the majority of us getting tired of watching repeated ads on television,
marketers have found a new and innovative ways to introduce us to their products in more subtle ways.
Email. Email allows you to “communicate in a way that respects the client's time and attention, as both are scarce
resources,” says Anne Janzer, an author and marketing consultant.
Newsletters.
Phone.
Slack.
Snail mail.
PREPARE DETAILED MARKETING PLAN FOR GOLD LOAN TO REACH OUT THE CUSTOMERS IN LARGE NUMBER.
A marketing plan is a significant portion of your overall business plan and is designed to identify your ideal target market and how you'll
reach it.
1. Marketing Strategy: How Will Your Marketing Plan Support Your Business Goals?
You need a clear idea of what you want to accomplish. Your marketing strategy should be directly related to your business goals and
objectives. Based on what you want to achieve, you need to develop a plan that outlines what you want to do and the details on how to do
it.

part of your business planning process. If so, add it to your marketing plan.

Your target market is the ideal buyer for what you're offering. In your marketing plan, you describe in detail the demographics, traits, and
trends of your ideal buyer in defining your target market. Understanding these people will help you create marketing materials that attract
them to your business, so you need to research who these people are and what makes them buy your products and services.
7. Marketing Budget: How Much Money Will You Spend, and on What?
As a result, you need a budget part of your marketing plan that has a breakdown of all costs related to marketing. You may have an
annual marketing budget, but you should also break it down into separate monthly budgets so that you can track results and modify the
promotional plan to focus on the activities that provide you with the biggest return on investment.

Once your plan is done, you need to take action on it. You need to identify the tasks you need to do to put your business marketing in
motion.
9. Metrics: What Results Have You Achieved, and Where Can You Improve?
