The Pursuit of Understanding -- Stakeholder Profiling and Analysis
Customers on the receiving end of typical marketing campaigns are demanding a change. They crave a product vendor or service provider that takes the time and effort to understand their needs. They insist that potential suppliers must listen better, and then respond thoughtfully.
One-size-fits-all marketing practices clearly fit nobody in particular. Legacy mass-marketing is a lazy marketer's approach to the apparent segmentation challenges of today's fragmented marketplace.
Dare to be different: invest in attaining stakeholder-centricity.
Sales and support people on the front-line -- that assume the role of customer advocates -- are equally disappointed by the obvious shortcomings of marketer's myopic market perspectives. In the absence of truly targeted offers, a sales team must attempt to fill the customization gap.
Technology-oriented product designers and service developers are far removed from the customers that they should satisfy. They must rely on the marketing organization to gather insight -- to describe user requirements -- and thereby ensure that consumer needs will be addressed.
