Trang 2A I really wanted it, but when I tried to buy it, I just
couldn’t get it anywhere My friend heard that it was in one shop and he queued up for ages, but they’d run out
by lunchtime
B The company held a party on a river boat to launch their new campaign It was absolutely fantastic We also got a free gift at the end

distinguishes them from the competition

to match the consumer need that we just talk about, with a company assets and capabilities,

JT I think the last thing is that, as a marketer, you have
to have, um, really great communication skills because you’re often responsible for thing like profit or pricing, but
in reality it’s another department that actually controls it
or delivers it So it could be sales or finance that are actually affecting pricing, even though marketing may be nominally responsible for it So as a marketer you have
to have great, sort of, influencing skills, communication skills, to get people to understand what’s behind the strategies, but also to motivated to deliver them, for you and for the business So, I think those are three things – passionate curiosity for the customer, a strong instinctive understanding of how to make money in the business; and really strong communication skills

to meet the needs of the most attractive groups better,er, than your competitors do Now, the really good way of doing this is using a technique called customer segmentation - it’s a market research technique, it’s statistical, um, and (2) what it does is just group similar types of people together, based upon behaviours, um, their attitudes, where they live - those sorts of things so what we did for these er, um, this client of ours was (3) to design a questionnaire, to,
er, commission it, and then of course to analyse the research and,
um, what we did was (4) we found this statistically, um, there were probably about eight groups of customers that mattered in this market place, um ,and before, the bank had really just been looking
at one group of customers- everybody.
