Improving Salesperson Recruitment: Examining Practices of Screening Candidates for Potential Success versus Potential Failure

Brehmer A, Lilly B, Tippins M J

Salesperson recruitment efforts largely target identifying candidates who appear to possess 'sales success traits'. However, success traits may differ from failure traits. Theory and practice both devote low attention to understanding the unsuccessful salesperson, and how to incorporate sales failure into the recruitment process. This paper reports the results of an exploratory study that examines salesperson recruitment, tests the notion that recruiters 'overlook' failure issues, and develops variables that should motivate failure probing, which should be useful for theory and practice.

INTRODUCTION

One of the most important tasks facing sales managers is hiring the right people. Personnel selection receives significant interest in the academic sales literature, with studies examining antecedents and consequences of hiring decisions (e.g., Ganesan, Weitz and John 1993), trends in recruitment practices (e.g., Cron et al. 2005), hiring for contexts that involve international sales efforts (Honeycutt, Ford and Kurtzman 1996), and individual characteristics that signal potential fit (e.g., Maxwell et al. 2005). Personnel selection also receives attention in practitioner literature, reflected in the Good to Great key finding that "getting the right people on the bus" is critical (Collins 2001), and in managerially oriented articles that provide experience-based insights and suggestions related to hiring. The research reported in this paperinvestigates two intriguing sales recruitment insights reported in a recent practitioner oriented article (HR Chally Group 2007). This project explores and extends the insights in a manner useful to the academic community, furthering the ideas for both theory and practice. Notably, many marketing undergraduate students start their careers in sales, and thus we view the project as having potential benefit to marketing professors who help companies recruit their students.

The two insights examined in this study are stated as mistakes commonly made when hiring salespeople. One mistake was referred to as "Using successful people as models," and refers to the notion of hiring people who possess characteristics common to top sales performers, without recognizing that these same characteristics may be common among bottom performers. Thus, screening tools used to recruit salespeople may be ineffective because they may identify the wrong "top" candidates, as these candidates share characteristics of both top and bottom performers. The second mistake was referred to as "Not researching the reasons that people fail," and refers to the notion that hiring managers have a biased perspective when hiring, correctly placing effort in understanding what makes salespeople succeed, but failing

to ascertain why salespeople have failed. This mistake, which has been studied much less in the literature as demonstrated in Appendix 1, may lead a hiring manager to recruit a person who is poised to perform well on some aspects of the job, but who is also poised to fail on other aspects of the job. Both mistakes deal with performance failures, and involve neglecting failure issues in the personnel selection process.

Given the insights above, the purpose of this paper is to examine the assertion of these mistakes. We seek to assess the importance of the two 'common mistakes', and measure the degree to which these problems occur. Further, if the assertions appear to be important and prevalent, then we seek to develop recommendations for research and practice that would lead to corresponding improvements in hiring processes. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. We discuss the importance of these issues; why including failure issues in screening may or may not be critical tomanagers hiring salespeople. We then discuss Study 1, which was qualitative, and which led to some validation of the assertions above and development of hypotheses to test quantitatively. We then discuss Study 2, which entailed a survey-based quantitative test, and provided further validation and resulted in pinpointing very specific areas where mistakes occur. Finally, we present conclusions and recommendations.

IMPORTANCE OF INCLUDING FAILURE ISSUES IN SCREENING The importance of focusing on failure during a screening process may be questioned for three reasons, each discussed below. Questioning the importance of excluding failure in the screening process is important, because if excluding failure is unimportant, then the exclusion is appropriate rather than mistaken.

First, in sales settings are failures rare or low in cost? We consider a failure to be an employee who fails to achieve minimum work related goals, or who decides to leave the company so the cost of the recruitment effort is insufficiently recovered. If virtually all recruited salespeople were later deemed as non-failures, then spending time identifying potential failures would be wasteful, as their likelihood of occurring would be very low. Also, if the cost of recruitment is low, then again spending time with failure issues would be wasteful, as a hire that results in failure could be replaced inexpensively with another hire. For this "are failures rare or low in cost" question, we note research indicates failure rates in sales positions are high both in absolute sense and relative to other types of positions (Richardson 1999), and that costs of replacing failing employees have long been assessed as high (Rosenberg, Gibson and Epley 1981). Further, we note a company could have an employee they consider to be failing and yet retain the employee; in this case the cost is also high, as work related goals are not achieved. Thus, failures in sales settings are not rare, and are costly.

Second, does screening candidates for success essentially accomplish the same objective as screening candidates for potential failure? If so, then failure issues are addressed through efforts that focus on success. In response to this second question,we note success typically is equated to in-role achievements, such as sales productivity. On the other hand, as recognized in the OCB literature, extra-role behaviors often correlate significantly with managers' evaluations of salesperson performance, and yet may not be consciously thought of as success elements

(MacKenzie, Podsakoff and Fetter 1993). Thus, performance in some dimensions may distinguish success from lack of success, whereas performance in other dimensions may distinguish failure from lack of failure. This notion has been applied frequently in the study of satisfaction with product performance via the Kano model (Vargo et al. 2007), which is analogous to satisfaction with employee performance. Ultimately, we expect a salesperson could be classified as successful in both sales productivity and various extra-role dimensions, classified as successful in sales productivity and yet failed in extra-role dimensions (or vice versa), or may be classified as failed in both sales productivity and extra-role dimensions. In fact, even if a salesperson is viewed as succeeding on both sales productivity and extra-role dimensions, a failure could exist because the salesperson decided to leave the company before the company sufficiently recovers the cost of the recruitment effort. Thus, screening for success may focus on a subset of critical dimensions, insufficiently protecting against hiring a person who ends up failing on other important dimensions.

Third, are signals of failure obvious to sales managers, or even potential salespeople? In this case, putting low overt effort into screening for failure would make sense, as screening would occur without much effort or notice. However, research results indicate sales managers often have mistaken impressions of why failures occur among salespeople (Lilly and Porter 2003), and are unable to anticipate who would be the worst salesperson at a rate higher than chance (Emery and Handell 2007). Further, even salespeople themselves are often uncertain about what factors have contributed to their performance (Dixon, Forbes and Schertzer 2005), and we expect signals of failure would be even less obvious to potential salespeople. Thus, we conclude that failure signals are not simply obvious, and that effortful screeningfor failure is important.

Based on the issues above, our overall assessment is that: 1) salesperson failure is costly and frequent, 2) screening for potential success may insufficiently guard against hiring a person who fails, and 3) effort spent screening for failure is likely to be helpful, as causes of failure are often non-obvious. To some extent, the oft-repeated adage from Winston Churchill applies, specifically that those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it. In the context of salesperson recruitment, some inclusion of failure in the screening process seems very important.

STUDY 1: QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT

We had four primary objectives for Study-1 which parallel four questions. First, from the perspective of professionals involved in salesperson recruitment, do recruitment efforts generally lack a component of looking for issues that signal potential failure? Second, if recruitment efforts really do omit efforts to probe for potential failure, do practitioners view the omission as a case of failure being overlooked, or is the omission intended for reasons beyond the three issues discussed above? Third, are post-mortems commonly conducted after salesperson failures occur, in a manner where resulting knowledge could be easily used in subsequent recruitment efforts? And fourth, what factors do recruiters feel should logically motivate the amount of effort they spend when probing for potential failure?

提高销售人员招聘成效:甄选出潜在成功和潜在失败的

候选人的实践研究

亚历山德拉·布雷默;布莱恩·莉莉;迈克尔·蒂平斯

关于销售人员的招聘工作,其主要目标就是识别出销售岗位候选人中谁最可能拥有“成功营销员的特质”。然而,这种成功的特质可能不同于失败的特质。当前的理论和实践研究都很少会去关注和了解那些不成功的销售人员,以及很少会去如何将销售上的失败问题也纳入到招聘过程中。本文即是一个探索性研究,主要研究销售人员的招聘过程,检查招聘人员“忽视”招聘失败的问题,以及激励大家对失败问题进行探索,本文的研究对以后的理论和实践研究应该是有所助益的。

引言

销售经理面临的最重要的任务之一就是招到合适的销售人员。人员选择的标准主要是看应聘人员在销售方面的学术研究情况、是否有过销售的经历等,根据候选人以往的工作经历来判断他们是否能够胜任工作,并以此来做出雇佣决策。(加内桑,韦茨和约翰.1993),招聘实践的动向(科隆等人.2005),招聘有国际化营销背景的人(霍尼卡特、福特和库兹曼.1996年),以及潜在的健康等个人特点(麦克斯韦等人.2005)。人员选拔也关注从业者的学识水平,这主要体现在从优秀到卓越的跨越,学识高也分层次,有优秀及卓越之分,要尽量选择卓越的员工,“让合适的人留在公共汽车上”是至关重要的(柯林斯.2001),前人所写的管理类文献,为我们提供了基于经验与招聘的相关建议。本文的研究,探讨了两个关于销售人员招聘的有趣观点(人力资源Chally集团2007)。本文就探索和扩展了这两个观点,它们对本课题的学术研究是很有用的,进一步拓展了理论和实践研究的深度。值得注意的是,许多市场营销专业毕业的本科生都选择从事销售工作,将销售岗位作为自己职业生涯的开端,因此,我们认为本文的研究对教市场营销专业的教授具有潜在的好处,能够帮助大学教授们更好地为企业培养出他们想要招募的员工。

本文的研究的这两个观点在招聘销售人员的实际操作中,通常会被误解。一个误解是所谓的“以成功的员工作为标杆模型”,这主要是指成功的精英营销人才所具备的共同特征,这种看法显然没有认识到这些所谓的共同特征有可能是底层营销人员所具备的。因此,用于招聘营销人员的筛选工具很可能是无效的,因为他们可能无法识别出谁才是真正的“顶级”营销精英候选人,因为这些候选人可能都同时具备营销精英和一般营销人员的特征。第二个误解就是所谓的“不去研究销售人员失败的原因”,这主要是指招聘经理在招聘时有一个观念上的偏差,把精力集中放在研究是什么让销售人员成功上,但是不去研究销售人员为什么失败。这个误解,在以往的研究中很少会被关注,如附录1所示,这可能会导致招聘经理会招聘到一个在某些方面表现很好的人,但这个人也可能会在工作的其他方面做的不好。这两个误解都将会导致销售失败,并且将会导致忽视人员甑选过程中的失败问题。

鉴于上述观点,本文的目的就是研究这些错误的论断。我们寻求对这两个常见误解的重要性进行评估,并测量这些问题引发的后果。然后,我们寻求为后续

的研究和实践提出建议,这将能够改进相应的招聘流程。本文的其余部分主要是:我们探讨了这些问题的重要性;在招聘员工时,为什么研究失败问题在甄选营销人员时也是至关重要的。我们然后探讨了研究1,这是一个定性分析,将验证我们之前的一些断言和假设。接着我们探讨了研究2,这是一个个案定量分析,并将提供进一步的验证。最后,我们提出了结论和相关建议。

把甄选失败问题纳入招聘过程的重要性

关注筛选过程中失败问题的重要性可能会因为三个原因而遭受到质疑,下面将分别讨论这三个原因。质疑把甄选失败问题纳入招聘过程的重要性,这本身就很重要。

首先,是因为销售操作上的失败很少,还是因为招聘成本不高?我们认为失败是由于一个员工未能达到最低的工作目标,或者是由于员工决定离开公司,造成招聘成本上的投入没能够收回。但如果几乎所有招募到的销售人员都被视为非失败员工,那么去花费时间识别潜在的失败将会是会是一种浪费。同样,如果招聘的成本很低,然后再花时间去检查失败问题也会是一种浪费。对于这种“几乎无失败或低的招聘成本”问题,我们注意到,研究表明销售岗位上的失败率与其他岗位相比,都是相对很高的,(理查森.1999),并且重新换人,造成的成本也一直相当高(罗森博格、吉布森和爱普雷.1981)。另外,我们注意到一个公司可能存在这样的一种员工,即公司认为他们是失败的销售人员,但是仍然保留了这些雇员;这种情况也会导致很高的成本,同时,相关工作目标也没有达到。因此,从这方面来说,销售上的失败并不是罕见的,且是昂贵的。

第二,筛选成功候选人和筛选潜在的失败候选人本质上是一样的吗?如果是这样的话,那么就要和关注成功一样去努力关注失败问题。为了应对第二个问题,我们注意到成功通常等与销售人员的角色内成就是一致的,比如:销售效率。另一方面,相关文献也认为,角色外行为明显与经理人对相关销售人员的绩效评估有关,但也可能不是,目前可能还没被公认为是成功的元素(麦肯齐、达萨科夫和费特,1993)。因此,某些方面的绩效将可能区分成功与缺乏成功,而其他方面的绩效,将可能区分失败与缺乏失败。这个概念经常被应用于产品性能满意度研究。(瓦戈等人,2007),类似于员工绩效满意度。最终,我们希望销售人员在销售业绩和角色外业绩方面都是成功的,这种情况可分为来那个可能:成功的销售业绩,但失败的角色外业绩(反之亦然),或失败的销售业绩和成功的角色外业绩。事实上,即使销售人员在销售业绩和角色外业绩方面都被视为是成功的,或者在销售业绩和角色外业绩方面都被视为是失败的。出现失败的问题,主要是由于销售人员在公司收回招聘成本之前就决定离开公司,这导致公司的招聘成本居高不下。因此甄选成功的销售人员可能要专注于关键指标里的几个指标,防止招聘到的销售人员最终不能胜任其他方面的工作。

第三,销售经理对销售人员的评估,在评判销售人员的失败问题上有显著的影响。在这种情况下,花费较少的经历去筛选失败的销售员工将会导致更多的精力浪费去探寻销售上的失败问题。然而,研究结果表明,销售经理在为什么会出现失败的销售人员问题上存在着误解。(莉莉和波特,2003),并且和无法预测谁会最有机会成为销售精英(埃默里和汉德尔,2007)。另外,即使销售人员自己也往往不确定什么因素促成了他们的销售业绩(迪克森,福布斯和斯科特,2005),我们期望失败的特征能够更明显识别出来,以使我们能够快速识别潜在的销售人员。因此,我们得出这样的结论:即失败的特征不仅是显而易见的,而且需要我们花费更多的精力去关注销售中的失败问题,这一点是很重要的。

基于以上的问题,我们的总体判断是:1)销售上的失败问题导致的成本是昂贵的,也是很常见的。2)筛查潜在的成功销售人员并不一定就能保证效果好于招聘到失败的销售人员。3)花费精力去筛选销售中的失败问题很可能是有助益的,虽然失败的原因往往不是很明显。从某种程度上说,温斯顿·丘吉尔的常挂在嘴边的谚语很适用在这方面,即不去研究历史的人注定要重蹈覆辙。在销售人员招聘工作的背景下,在甄选销售人员时,关注失败问题是非常重要的。

研究1:定性分析

在定性分析中,我们发现有四个主要目标对应着研究中的四个问题。首先,是以专业人士的身份参与销售人员的招聘工作,从事招聘的工作人员是否普遍缺乏动力去探究影响工作失败的原因?第二,如果招聘工作人员不付出任何努力去探究影响工作失败的原因,他们就会把这种疏忽当作一个理所当然的失败案例,或者为了所谓的失败去寻找借口,那么是否超出了上述讨论的三个问题的范围呢?第三,对于销售人员的招聘工作失败后,招聘工作者通常采用的方式是进行事后检验,那么他所积累的经验可以很容易地用于后续招聘工作吗?第四,当探究潜在的失败时,是什么因素让招聘人员觉得理所应当激励他们付诸更多的努力?

世界贸易和国际贸易【外文翻译】

外文翻译 原文 World Trade and International Trade Material Source:https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8c17396735.html, Author: Ted Alax In today’s complex economic world, neither individuals nor nations are self-sufficient. Nations have utilized different economic resources; people have developed different skills. This is the foundation of world trade and economic activity. As a result of this trade and activity, international finance and banking have evolved. For example, the United States is a major consumer of coffee, yet it does not have the climate to grow any or its own. Consequently, the United States must import coffee from countries (such as Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala) that grow coffee efficiently. On the other hand, the United States has large industrial plants capable of producing a variety of goods, such as chemicals and airplanes, which can be sold to nations that need them. If nations traded item for item, such as one automobile for 10,000 bags of coffee, foreign trade would be extremely cumbersome and restrictive. So instead of batter, which is trade of goods without an exchange of money, the United State receives money in payment for what it sells. It pays for Brazilian coffee with dollars, which Brazil can then use to buy wool from Australia, which in turn can buy textiles Great Britain, which can then buy tobacco from the United State. Foreign trade, the exchange of goods between nations, takes place for many reasons. The first, as mentioned above is that no nation has all of the commodities that it needs. Raw materials are scattered around the world. Large deposits of copper are mined in Peru and Zaire, diamonds are mined in South Africa and petroleum is recovered in the Middle East. Countries that do not have these resources within their own boundaries must buy from countries that export them. Foreign trade also occurs because a country often does not have enough of a particular item to meet its needs. Although the United States is a major producer of sugar, it consumes more than it can produce internally and thus must import sugar.

DESIGNING PRICING STRATEGIES All for-profit organizations and many nonprofit organizations set prices on their goods or services. Whether the price is called rent (for an apartment), tuition (for education), fare (for travel), or interest (for borrowed money), the concept is the same. Throughout most of history, prices were set by negotiation between buyers and sellers. Setting one price for all buyers arose with the development of large-scale retailing at the en d of the nineteenth century, when Woolworth’s and other stores followed a “strictly one-price policy” because they carried so many items and had so many employees. Now, 100 years later, technology is taking us back to an era of negotiated pricing. The Internet, corporate networks, and wireless setups are linking people, machines, and companies around the globe, connecting sellers and buyers as never before. Web sites like https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8c17396735.html, and https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8c17396735.html, allow buyers to compare products and prices quickly and easily. On-line auction sites like https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8c17396735.html, and https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8c17396735.html, make it easy for buyers and sellers to negotiate prices on thousands of items. At the same time, new tech- nologies are allowing sellers to collect detailed data about customers’ buying habits, preferences—even spending limits—so they can tailor their products and prices. 1 In the entire marketing mix, price is the one element that produces revenue; the others produce costs. Price is also one of the most ?exible elements: It can be changed quickly, unlike product features and channel commitments. Although price competi- tion is a major problem facing companies, many do not handle pricing well. The most common mistakes are these: Pricing is too cost-oriented; price is not revised often

国际贸易、市场营销类课题外文翻译——市场定位策略(Positioning_in_Practice)

Positioning in Practice Strategic Role of Marketing For large firms that have two or more strategic business units (SBUs), there are generally three levels of strategy: corporate-level strategy, strategic-business-unit-level (or business-level) strategy, and marketing strategy. A corporate strategy provides direction on the company's mission, the kinds of businesses it should be in, and its growth policies. A business-level strategy addresses the way a strategic business unit will compete within its industry. Finally, a marketing strategy provides a plan for pursuing the company's objectives within a specific market segment. Note that the higher level of strategy provides both the objectives and guidelines for the lower level of strategy. At corporate level, management must coordinate the activities of multiple strategic business units. Thus the decisions about the organization's scope and appropriate resource deployments/allocation across its various divisions or businesses are the primary focus of corporate strategy.Attempts to develop and maintain distinctive competencies tend to focus on generating superior financial, capital, and human resources; designing effective organizational structures and processes; and seeking synergy among the firm's various businesses. At business-level strategy, managers focus on how the SBU will compete within its industry. A major issue addressed in business strategy is how to achieve and sustain a competitive advantage. Synergy for the unit is sought across product-markets and across functional department within the unit. The primary purpose of a marketing strategy is to effectively allocate and coordinate marketing resources and activities to accomplish the firm's objectives within a specific product-market. The decisions about the scope of a marketing strategy involve specifying the target market segment(s) to pursue and the breadth of the product line to offered. At this level of strategy, firms seek competitive advantage and synergy through a well-integrated program of marketing mix elements tailored to the needs and wants of customers in the target segment(s). Strategic Role of Positioning Based on the above discussion, it is clear that marketing strategy consists of two parts: target market strategy and marketing mix strategy. Target market strategy consists of three processes: market segmentation, targeting (or target market selection), and positioning. Marketing mix strategy refers to the process of creating a unique

市场营销策略 1 市场细分和目标市场策略 具有需求,具有购买能力并愿意花销的个体或组织构成了市场。然而,在大多数市场中,购买者的需求不一致。因此,对整个市场采用单一的营销计划可能不会成功。一个合理的营销计划应以区分市场中存在的差异为起点,这一过程被称为市场细分,它还包括将何种细分市场作为目标市场。 市场细分使公司能更加有效地利用其营销资源。而且,也使得小公司可以通过集中在一两个细分上场上有效地参与竞争。市场细分的明显缺点是,其导致了比单一产品、单一大市场策略更高的生产和营销成本。但是,如果市场细分得当的话,更加符合消费者的需求,实际上将生产更高的效率。 确定目标市场有三种可供选择的策略,它们是统一市场、单一细分市场和多重细分市场。统一市场策略即采取一种营销组合用到一个整体的、无差异的市场中去。采取单一细分市场策略,公司仍然仅有一种营销组合,但它只用在整个市场的一个细分市场中。多重细分市场策略需要选择两个或更多的细分市场,并且每个细分市场分别采用一种单独的营销组合。 2 产品定位 管理者将注意力集中于一种品牌,并以恰当的方式将其与类似的品牌相区分,但这并不意味着该品牌就一定能够最后赢利。因此,管理者需要进行定位,即塑造与竞争品牌和竞争对手的其他品牌相关的自我品牌形象。 市场营销人员可以从各种定位策略中加以选择。有时,他们决定对某一特定产品采用一种以上的策略。以下是几种主要的定位策略: 2.1与竞争者相关的定位 对一些产品来说,最佳的定位是直接针对竞争对手。该策略特别适用于已经具有固定的差别优势或试图强化这种优势的厂商。为排挤微处理器的竞争对手,Intel公司开展了一项活动使用户确信它的产品优于竞争对手的产品。公司甚至为电脑制造商出钱,让它们在自己的广告中带上“Intel Inside”标志。作为市场领导者,可口可乐公司推出新产品并实施其市场营销策略。同时,它密切注视百事可乐公司,以确保对主要竞争对手的任何一次巧妙、有效的营销举措采取相应的对策。 2.2 与产品类别和属性相关的定位 有时候,公司的定位策略有必要将自己的产品与其类别和属性相联系(或相区别)。一些公司尽力将其产品定位在期望的类别中,如“美国制造”。用一句某顾问的话来说,“当你说‘美国制造’的时候,有一种强烈的感情因素在吸引着你”。因此,一家名为Boston Preparatory的规模不大的运动服制造商正在运用这种定位策略,以期胜过那些并非所有产品都在美国制造的势力强大的竞争对手如Calvin Kiein和Tommy Hilfiger。 2.3 通过价格和质量定位 某些生产者和零售商因其高质量和高价格而闻名。在零售行业,Saks Fifth Avenue和Neiman Marcus公司正是定位于该价格—质量策略的。折扣店Target Kmart则是定位于该策略的反面。我们不是说折扣商店忽视质量,而是说它们更加强调低廉的价格。Penny's公司努力—并且大多获得了成功—通过升级高级服装线和强调设计者的名字将其商店定位于价格—质量策略上。 “品牌”一词是个综合性的概念,它包含其他更狭义的理解。品牌即一个名称和(或)标志,用以识别一个销售者或销售集团的产品,并将之与竞争产品相区别。 品牌名称由能够发音的单词、字母和(或)数字组成。品牌标志是品牌的一部分,它以符号、图案或醒目的颜色、字体的形式出现。品牌标志通过视觉识别,但当人们仅仅读出品牌名称的时候,品牌标志并不能够被表达出来。Crest、Coors、Gillette都是品牌名称。AT&T由醒目的线条构成的地球以及Ralph Lauren's Polo的马和骑手是品牌标志,而Green Giant(罐装冷冻菜蔬产品)和Arm&Hammer(面包苏打)既是品牌名称又是品牌标志。 商标是销售者已经采用并且受到法律保护的品牌。商标不仅包括品牌标志,如许多人所认为的那样,也包括品牌名称。1946年的The Lanham Art法案允许厂商向联邦政府注册商标,以保护它们免受其他厂商的使用或误

顾客满意策略与顾客满意营销 原文来源:《Marketing Customer Satisfaction 》自20世纪八十年代末以来, 顾客满意战略已日益成为各国企业占有更多的顾客份额, 获得竞争优势的整体经营手段。 一、顾客满意策略是现代企业获得顾客“货币选票”的法宝随着时代的变迁, 社会物质财富的极大充裕, 顾客中的主体———消费者的需求也先后跨越了物质缺乏的时代、追求数量的时代、追求品质的时代, 到了20世纪八十年代末进入了情感消费时代。在我国, 随着经济的高速发展,我们也已迅速跨越了物质缺乏时代、追求数量的时代乃至追求品质的时代, 到今天也逐步迈进情感消费时代。在情感消费时代, 各企业的同类产品早已达到同时、同质、同能、同价, 消费者追求的已不再是质量、功能和价格, 而是舒适、便利、安全、安心、速度、跃动、环保、清洁、愉快、有趣等,消费者日益关注的是产品能否为自己的生活带来活力、充实、舒适、美感和精神文化品位, 以及超越消费者期望值的售前、售中、售后服务和咨询。也就是说, 今天人们所追求的是具有“心的满足感和充实感”的商品, 是高附加值的商品和服务,追求价值观和意识多元化、个性化和无形的满足感的时代已经来临。 与消费者价值追求变化相适应的企业间的竞争, 也由产品竞争、价格竞争、技术竞争、广告竞争、品牌竞争发展到现今的形象竞争、信誉竞争、文化竞争和服务竞争, 即顾客满意竞争。这种竞争是企业在广角度、宽领域的时空范围内展开的高层次、体现综合实力的竞争。它包括组织创新力、技术创新力、管理创新力、产业预见力、产品研发力、员工向心力、服务顾客力、顾客亲和力、同行认同力、社会贡献力、公关传播沟通力、企业文化推动力、环境适应力等等。这些综合形象力和如何合成综合持久的竞争力, 这就是CSft略所要解决的问题。CS寸代,企业不再以“自己为中心”,而是以“顾客为中心”;“顾客为尊”、“顾客满意”不再是流于形式的口号, 而是以实实在在的行动为基础的企业经营的一门新哲学。企业不再以质量达标, 自己满意为经营理念, 而是以顾客满意, 赢得顾客高忠诚度为经营理念。企业经营策略的焦点不再以争取或保持市场占有率为主, 而是以争取顾客满意为经营理念。因此, 营销策略的重心不再放在竞争对手身上而是放在顾客身上, 放在顾客现实的、潜在的需求上。当企业提供的产品和服务达到了顾客事先的期望值, 顾客就基本满意;如果远远超越顾客的期望值, 且远远高于其他同行, 顾客才真正满意;如果企业能不断地或长久地令顾客满意, 顾客就会忠诚。忠诚的顾客不仅会经常性地重复购买, 还会购买企业其它相关的产品或服务;忠诚的顾客不仅会积极向别人推荐他所买的产品, 而且对企业竞争者的促销活动具有免疫能力一个不满意的顾客会将不满意告诉16-20个人, 而每一个被告知者会再传播给12-15个人。这样, 一个不满意者会影响到二、三百人。在互联网普及的今天, 其影响则更大。据美国汽车业的调查, 一个满意者会引发8笔潜在的生意, 其中至少有一笔会成交。而另一项调查表明, 企业每增加5%的忠诚顾客, 利润就会增长25%-95%。一个企业的80%的利润来自20%的忠诚顾客;而获取一个新顾客的成本是维持一个老顾客成本的6倍。所以,美国著名学者唐?佩 珀斯指出: 决定一个企业成功与否的关键不是市场份额, 而是在于顾客份额。 于是, 企业纷纷通过广泛细致的市场调研、与消费者直接接触、顾客信息反馈等方式来了解顾客在各方面的现实需求和潜在需求。依靠对企业满意忠诚的销售、服务人员, 定期、定量地对顾客满意度进行综合测定, 以便准确地把握企业经营中与“顾客满意” 目标的差距及其重点领域, 从而进一步改善企业的经营活动。依靠高亲和力的企业文化、高效率的人文管理和全员共同努力, 不断地向顾客提供高附加值的产品, 高水准的亲情般的服

Marketing Strategy Market Segmentation and Target Strategy A market consists of people or organizations with wants,money to spend,and the willingness to spend it.However,within most markets the buyer' needs are not identical.Therefore,a single marketing program starts with identifying the differences that exist within a market,a process called market segmentation, and deciding which segments will be pursued ads target markets. Marketing segmentation enables a company to make more efficient use of its marketing resources.Also,it allows a small company to compete effectively by concentrating on one or two segments.The apparent drawback of market segmentation is that it will result in higher production and marketing costs than a one-product,mass-market strategy.However, if the market is correctly segmented,the better fit with customers' needs will actually result in greater efficiency. The three alternative strategies for selecting a target market are market aggregation,single segment,and multiple segment.Market-aggregation strategy involves using one marketing mix to reach a mass,undifferentiated market.With a single-segment strategy, a company still uses only one marketing mix,but it is directed at only one segment of the total market.A multiple-segment strategy entails selecting two or more segments and developing a separate marketing mix to reach segment. Positioning the Product Management's ability to bring attention to a product and to differentiate it in a favorable way from similar products goes a long way toward determining that product's revenues.Thus management needs to engage in positioning,which means developing the image that a product projects in relation to competitive products and to the firm's other products. Marketing executives can choose from a variety of positioning strategies.Sometimes they decide to use more than one for a particular product.Here are several major positioning strategies:

Sargent ABSTRACT In recent years, green consumption has become a main trend of the consumption in many developed countries and these countries began to make strict standards to restrict the entry of foreign products below their standards of environmental protection. Key words:Green Barriers; products; Trade In recent years, green consumption has become a main trend of the consumption in many developed countries and these countries began to make strict standards to restrict the entry of foreign products below their standards of environmental protection. These regulations have many unfavorable influences on the export of developing countries and are generally known as "Green Barriers to trade". In accordance with the provisions of the Agreement on Green Barriers to Trade of WTO, "Green Barriers to Trade" is defined as the compulsory and arbitrary Green regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures of the importing countries in the name of the protection of human health and environment that actually form barriers to trade with an aim to protect its home market and domestic products. 1. Analysis on the causes of formation of "Green Trade Barriers" Firstly, the worsening of ecology is the major reason for "Green Barriers". With the development of industry and technology, the economy increases very fast and the human life has been improved. But at the same time, the development of economy is at a cost of the destruction of environment. The environmental problems have aroused public attention and the international society has begun to make laws to protect environment. In June, 1972, the United Nations published the Stockholm Declaration and stressed the importance of the protection of environment. From then on, more and more people concern about the environmental problems.
