 Marketing 101--

Incisive Positioning is the essential foundation of all marketing & sales.  

  • Positioning is describing your products to make them instantly stand out in the crowd -- and to sound useful and necessary.

  • Velocity Associates expertly positions companies, products and services to convert more prospects into buyers.

  • Only then can the rest of the marketing & sales organization be directed: strategy, tactics, sales effort, CRM, trade shows, collateral material, advertising, etc.  And we know that landscape too 

  1. An eye-catching product position--written in clear, concise, evocative English--is persuasion at its finest. (Shakespeare, Orwell and Hemingway knew the secret.)
  2. Selling--and especially web-selling--has become a two-step process.  Attracting attention and selling must be split into two tasks. You must first attract interest--and only then try to sell.
  3. Your marketing and sales efforts should not only sell, but send prospects to your website--In today’s huge World-Wide Web you can no longer base your sales forecast only on hopes of your website "being Googled." You've got to send people there.  And then the website can perform its single major function--to send prospects to your salesmen so they can do what they do best--not find prospects, but sell prospects.

Accurate and evocative product or Corporate positioning is one of the most effective (and certainly the least expensive) ways to increase sales. More effective positioning increases the sales conversion rate at zero additional ongoing expense!  This is as true for brochures, trade show posters as for your website. Check our Client List for examples of Velocity Associates positioning and repositioning of Corporations, their websites and products.

"I was dubious of what a website could do for us--a high-end baked dessert caterer.  But 3 months after Velocity Associates put one in place, a major hotel chain Googled us.  The resulting sales will increase annual revenues by over 25%.  -- D.T., CEO Sweet Creations.

"Tom's clever positioning of our new power supply earned more revenue in its first sale  ($20m) than the entire annual revenue of our traditional product line." --J.P., Product Line Mgr.,  Raytheon Corp.
