Today I\u2019d like to teach you about the three most important start up marketing tools you need to get and keep new customers.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In person: It\u2019s essential you meet with customers\/clients in person whenever possible. This shows you respect them and take the time to work with your clients to give personal attention to each of them.<\/li>\n
  2. Follow up letter: Always take a moment to send a follow up letter about what you talked about, new agreements or partnerships made and to thank them for taking the time to meet with you. Likewise, you should always send thank you letters or small gifts to partners you find success with.<\/li>\n
  3. Phone call: Use a telephone call to follow up with them to talk again about the matters you talked about in your meeting and offer any assistance you can to help their business run smoothly and more successfully.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    None of these will work if you don\u2019t have a quality product\/service to back you up!<\/p>\n

    Here are the key steps for putting together your start-up marketing tools:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Research potential customers, buyers, competitors and their preferred methods of distribution.<\/li>\n
    2. Talk to potential customers. Take a hard look at your product from a customer\u2019s perspective and see what it needs to be successful.<\/li>\n
    3. Follow up with your 3-step process from above.<\/li>\n
    4. Develop systems for contact follow through, quality control standards and customer service.<\/li>\n
    5. Develop post-sale follow up system to keep lines of communication open is customers and build on your current relationship which increases future purchases.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u201cMarketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs\u201d Peter Drucker, management consultant<\/p>\n

      Here\u2019s another one I love from an icon:<\/p>\n

      \u201cIf there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person\u2019s point of view and see things from that person\u2019s angle as well as from your own.\u201d Henry Ford, Founder of Ford Motor Company<\/p>\n
