		<description>In response to Bill â€“you canâ€™t leave out the fact that the whole goal of marketing is selling. I mean all this information and feedback you are getting from your audience is all headed towards the same direction=the sales. 
Marketing is a learning process and itâ€™s most importantly a conversation between the company and the customer/client in which both sides learn and gain valuable information. The important thing is to not forget how valuable your customerâ€™s feedback is and to take it into consideration.</description>

		<description>&quot;Marketing is commitment.&quot; That&#039;s what I tell my clients - but the good ones already know it.  

It&#039;s pointless running a solitary ad or attending just one trade conference once a year, and expecting results. Or, as happens more often, doing the above, not seeing results, and then saying, &quot;We tried it and it didn&#039;t work.&quot; 

Sustained success requires sustained marketing.</description>

		<description>Well said. Many business owners confuse marketing with selling. Personally I do not like to sell, but I love marketing. Your comment of taking the time to build ideal target client and core message of difference is right on. When business owners create a clear vision of their business purpose (the need they fill, how well the fill it in their own special different way, and exactly who they fill it for) and then communicate  it (Read educate) the their targeted clients, good things happen, especially when they listen to their targeted clients to discover what their products mean to them.</description>
