Market Definition
The crucial portion of selling small business IT support
begins before you ever walk into the prospect's office. Your first task is
to clearly define the needs, concerns, and level of understanding of your
target market. Market segmentation research can provide many of the
information variables you need to obtain a clear description of your
target market.
Market segmentation is identifying portions of the market
that differ from each other in similar ways. The consumer is the primary
key to defining market efforts and selling small business IT
support.
Segmenting the targeted population by common
characteristics is required to provide the product or service and its
benefits in ways that attract attention from the potential buyer. The
buyer must be made to feel that you are providing solutions to their
unique needs and situation in a manner that depicts valuable solutions for
their current situation.
The Buyer
Today's buyers are looking for well planned solutions and
ease of implementation. Identifying the customer's needs, concerns, and
level of understanding, should occur through market analysis. Many feel
that in depth market analysis results in a ton of reports and data that
does not seem worth the effort.
Without this analysis, much of your time selling small
business IT support will be wasted. How can you present what the potential
consumer wants if you don't know anything about that consumer? Not likely
to happen.
