4. - Peter Drucker, 1974
The aim of marketing is to know and
understand the customer so well that the
product and service fits him and sells itself.
Ideally, marketing should result in a customer
who is ready to buy. All that should be needed
then is to make the product or service
available; i.e., logistics rather than
salesmanship, and statistical distribution
rather than promotion.

Permission marketing…offers the
consumer an opportunity to volunteer to
be marketed to. By talking only to
volunteers, Permission Marketing
guarantees that consumers pay more
attention to the marketing messages.

Today, prospects have made about 60% of
their purchase decision before talking to a
sales rep. The buyer is more than halfway sure
whether or not they’re going to be your next
customer based solely on information they’ve
discovered online. This means your website
and content are your de facto sales reps for the
majority of the buying process.

The businesses that see themselves
as teachers and problem solvers,
and then take the time to tell the
world what they know, are going to
earn the most trust and ultimately the
most business.

As our world becomes more interconnected, technology will increase the pace of change, and the new marketer will be
highly tech saavy:
INBOUND MARKETING
► Content is now delivered via websites and social media computers, tablets and phones. The
future will bring an explosion of new “smart” technology (cars, wearables, etc.) capable of
delivering content to anyone at any time
► Search engines will be less important as apps, programs and devices use predictive
technology that “knows” what we need and when we need it (Spotify, etc.)
► As more companies and organizations adopt inbound marketing, the role of influencers will
increase as a way of establishing authority and trust
► Inbound marketing will just be called “inbound” as it rolls out to not just marketing, but sales,
HR, management, etc.
