Preparing For US Marketing In Today’s Environment
• Tap individuals in bus dev, distribution to keep costs down
• Consolidate management oversight of similar areas• Outsource services to speed return on effort• Keep your messages tight, they’re going to be
interpreted and then reinterpreted• Have a go to market strategy and don’t
procrastinate (Invest in marketing smartly, but invest) (the definition of insanity is doing nothing and expecting to change the output)
