Study Notes
Marketing Fundamentals
- Value to Society: Salespeople add value by building relationships and increasing customer value. Satisfied customers are crucial for business growth. Stock market crashes can occur if a business fails to innovate. Maintaining a #1 position is difficult, often harder than reaching it.
- Needs, Wants, and Demands: Needs are basic human deficiencies. Wants take shape due to culture and personality, and demands stem from wants backed by purchasing power. Are people becoming more materialistic? Can companies create needs or are they natural feelings?
- Market Offerings: Markets offer combinations of items (products, services, information, experiences) to meet needs and wants. Marketing myopia occurs when companies focus too narrowly on short-term gains, rather than the total customer experience.
- Customer Expectations: Customers have expectations regarding value and satisfaction from market offerings. Satisfied customers continue purchasing, while dissatisfied ones switch. Exchanges are vital where one party gives value to another.
Marketing Management
- Target Markets: Successful marketing involves understanding target customer needs and wants. Choosing target markets, and designing an appropriate "value proposition" to attract and satisfy them.
- Customer Value-Driven Strategies: Three vital concepts within strategy include: Production concept (focus on availability and affordability), product concept (quality and benefits), and selling concept (large-scale selling). A more successful strategy is built upon knowing market needs and exceeding competitor satisfaction.
- Societal Marketing: Decisions consider customers, company, and society's interests in the long run. This means focusing on the market’s needs and wants to provide desirable products and value.
Building Customer Relationships
- Relationship Building: Building and maintaining profitable relationships with customers is crucial. Customer-perceived value is the difference between total customer benefits and costs. A key part of this is customer satisfaction – whether the customer's experience meets their expectations.
- Partner Relationship Management: This involves working closely with partners within and outside the company to create more value. Customer relationships, especially when built over a long period, are crucial for profitability.
- Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV): Companies aim to understand the total customer purchases over their relationship.

Changing Landscape: The marketing landscape is evolving, influenced by factors like digital interactions, economic shifts, globalization, and sustainable practices. Social media and mobile technology presents new ways to engage customers.

-
Customer-Generated Marketing: Consumers often participate in shaping brand experiences. Social media and online interactions allow greater customer input and influence.
