1 1. Not defining your target market

One of the most fundamental steps in marketing strategy is to define your target market. This means knowing who your ideal customers are, what their needs and challenges are, and how your product or service can solve them. Without a clear target market, you'll waste time and resources on prospects who are not interested, qualified, or ready to buy. To avoid this mistake, you need to conduct market research, create buyer personas, and segment your audience based on relevant criteria.

The biggest mistake that I see is marketers make is not knowing their target audience. Content is the fuel to a marketing strategy. I see a lot of drab, ordinary content. Marketers need to spend time increasing exposure to their target market. Yes, send surveys and have focus groups, but also spend time with the sales team. Do ride-alongs. Sit in on ordinary sales meetings. Write down all the questions that the customer asks. The more you know about your target audience, the better marketer you will become.

Marketing strategy. A term often confused with market research, tactical planning, execution planning, and more.. Marketing strategy in its simplest form is aligning the business goals with the real condition of the market and assigning resources to reach the goals within the given condition. This includes understanding the market, the completion, the state of solutions available, customers level of satisfaction, their level of awareness, stage of market sophistication, cultural nuances,....and much more.

Um dos erros mais comuns é n?o ter uma compreens?o clara do público-alvo. Isso pode levar a mensagens e abordagens de marketing genéricas que n?o ressoam com as necessidades e interesses específicos dos clientes em potencial.

In my view all 6 points are great. I'd add those 3 from my experience: 1/ Overrelying on paid marketing 2/ Looking at SEO as of one-time fix rather than ongoing strategy 3/ Not asking client for feedback/referrals to develop further your value prop accordingly

Se debe partir de la investigación de mercado para tratar de ubicarse en un lugar adecuado. En la misma investigación buscar ese dato adicional de lo que el cliente le haría falta para igualar y si se puede superar la expectativa del consumidor. Fruto de una buena investigación de mercado vamos a poder dirigirnos a la audiencia objetiva y con la información adecuada del mensaje para llamar la atención

2 2. Not setting SMART goals

Another common mistake in marketing strategy is not setting SMART goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. These criteria help you create realistic and actionable objectives for your marketing efforts. Without SMART goals, you'll have no direction, no way to track your progress, and no way to measure your success. To avoid this mistake, you need to define what you want to achieve, how you'll measure it, how you'll achieve it, why it matters, and when you'll achieve it.

As estratégias de marketing precisam ser adaptadas e ajustadas com base nos resultados e feedbacks recebidos. N?o estar disposto a mudar de curso quando algo n?o está funcionando pode levar a resultados abaixo do esperado.

Los objetivos deben ser medibles, evaluables y que se puedan reformular en caso de necesidad. Pero más allá de todas esas características tratar de investigar que más necesita el consumidor para cubrir esa expectativa y llegar con firmeza al mercado

3 3. Not aligning your marketing and sales teams

A third common mistake in marketing strategy is not aligning your marketing and sales teams. Marketing and sales are two sides of the same coin, and they need to work together to generate and close more deals. However, many organizations suffer from misalignment, silos, and conflicts between these two functions. This can lead to poor communication, inconsistent messaging, and lost opportunities. To avoid this mistake, you need to establish a common vision, a shared vocabulary, and a collaborative process for your marketing and sales teams.

Cuando la comunicación entre las 2 áreas no es factible, se pierde el feedback necesario para que el equipo de marketing llegue mejor al lead. Se pierden muchas oportunidades de crecimiento cuando estos dos departamentos van cada uno a su objetivo. Marketing pierde la oportunidad de recibir el feedback de ventas, y ventas pierde la oportunidad de comunicar lo que para ellos les toca lidiar día a día con el cliente y el desconocimiento que esto tienen con su producto o servicio.

O foco em resultado exige sinergia empresarial e entendimento rwal dos resultados esperados. O erro mais recorrente e danosa à uma empresa é ter um dissocia??o, ou mesmo falta de alinhamento entre as atividade de marketing e vendas. Esse erro deve ser corrigido a partir do planejamento estratégico que deve, no momento de tra?ar e desdobrar as metas entender e provocar essa sintonia. A meta comercial deve ser desdobrada em a??es comerciais e de marketing, tendo o departamento comercial como "cliente" desse último. Se observarmos com aten??o o "funil de venda" entenderemos que o topo do funil (atividades de marketing) é o insumo para o resultado comercial.

4 4. Not creating valuable content

A fourth common mistake in marketing strategy is not creating valuable content. Content is the fuel that drives your marketing strategy. It helps you educate, inform, and persuade your prospects and build trust and credibility with them. However, many marketers create content that is irrelevant, boring, or salesy. This can turn off your prospects and damage your reputation. To avoid this mistake, you need to create content that is relevant, engaging, and helpful for your target audience. You also need to optimize your content for SEO, distribute it across the right channels, and measure its performance.

El contenido de la comunicación debe ser cierto porque el comprador lo va a notar enseguida y una palabra mal dicha o mal interpretada va a mermar en mucho la posibilidad de la venta en los niveles esperados

5 5. Not following up with your prospects

A fifth common mistake in marketing strategy is not following up with your prospects. Follow-up is the key to converting your prospects into customers. It helps you maintain contact, build rapport, and overcome objections. However, many salespeople and marketers fail to follow up with their prospects or do it too late, too often, or too poorly. This can result in losing interest, trust, and sales. To avoid this mistake, you need to have a follow-up strategy that is timely, personalized, and consistent. You also need to use the right tools, such as email, phone, or social media, to reach out to your prospects.

El seguimiento en la etapa de introducción del producto es importante porque los vendedores nos dan mucha información sobre cómo se está llevando a cabo lo programado para poder hacer correctivos o mejoras en caso de ser necesarios también ayudan a mejorar la producción y evitar que en esta etapa nos quedamos sin stock adecuado para cubrir una mejor demanda del producto. Nos puede ayudar a saber que en una zona es mejor aceptada que en otra y podamos solamente cambiar de un almacén a otro y no hacer sobre producción

6 6. Not testing and optimizing your marketing strategy

A sixth common mistake in marketing strategy is not testing and optimizing your marketing strategy. Marketing strategy is not a one-time thing, but a continuous process of learning and improving. You need to test different elements of your marketing strategy, such as your target market, your goals, your content, your channels, and your follow-up, and see what works and what doesn't. You also need to optimize your marketing strategy based on the data and feedback you collect. This will help you increase your efficiency, effectiveness, and ROI. To avoid this mistake, you need to have a testing and optimization plan that is systematic, data-driven, and iterative.

All of the mistakes mentioned previously are common. In my experience, the most significant mistake that impact any strategy formulation is a thinking error that cannot be easily identified without a proper decision-making system in place. What worked successfully in one situation may not necessarily be relevant in another. This is akin to the ‘man with a hammer’ syndrome, where a person with a hammer sees every problem as a nail. Here are suggested ways to help avoiding such blind spot/bias; - Encouraging diversity of thought: Involve individuals with different perspectives - Explore potential reasons for the strategy to fail. This can highlight unseen risks or biases - Actively seek contradictory evidence that challenges the strategy

Concentrar-se exclusivamente em vendas diretas sem construir relacionamentos prévios com os leads pode ser contraproducente. é importante cultivar relacionamentos por meio de conteúdo relevante, educa??o e engajamento antes de tentar fazer uma venda.
