What do you include in your sales and marketing plan?
2011/06/30 6:00 AM
Do I hear you groaning already? So many creative inventors just cringe when they hear the words sales and marketing, even though you know deep deep deep down that this is the entire backbone of your survival…….right? I have been right there with you sister…..I had the hugest-most-gigantic resistance for many years until I learned how to do it…….really learned…….not just going through the motions, but really understanding WHY it is important, and HOW to communicate with my target market. Learning how to find your target market, engage them, keep up communication, and deliver what they want to buy is the name of the game!
I reached out to my team of Entreprenette Experts to get you their best tips on how to grow your business!
Of course feel free to share your tips too!

Wow, lots of good comments. I like this format–some of the answers, yeah, they felt irrelevant to me or were things I hear everywhere, but then the next answer, BAM it’d be a big eye opener. I loved 31… variation on offering essential information, which I firmly believe in, but I’d never heard of help a reporter before. Thank you!
What a great read with my morning cup o’ java! I’ll be back tomorrow to check out some of the contributors’ websites.

Do you know how to set the right price for your product line? Lordy knows I sure didn’t when I first started my handbag line. But once I learned the correct way to do it, I never mispriced anything again! Now I want to share this method with you so you can be profitable and not wonder why you can’t pay yourself.![]()

It took me years to figure out how to set the right price for my product line when I first started out, so I can imagine you might be in the same situation. If you are not sure if you are making any money, then there is a good chance you’re not pricing your products correctly.![]()

Proper costing is the lifeline to your business and profitability. Taking into consideration and finding all the hidden costs, is the key. So many people forget little things that they add up and then BOOM, you are not making any money. Once you have the actual cost (cost of goods sold) then it is easy to figure out the wholesale and retail prices so you are always making money.![]()
I’d love to share this formula with you. It totally saved my rear when I was in year 3….. Just thinking of all that lost money in the first 2 years…. I want to cry!![]()
