5.2 Sales Strategy

West Pacific Marketing Consultants’ strategy focuses first on maintaining the identity of the high-end buyer who appreciates quality service, but is also very demanding regarding value creations. West Pacific Marketing Consultants has been able to find these customers using a combination of social and interactive email relationships.

Furthermore, as a part of its “individual sales strategy,” to ensure optimum client satisfaction, West Pacific Marketing Consultants customizes its services for each specific client. This approach is called “individual sales strategy” because customization permits clients to participate in producing exactly what they want.

Even when a business offers a standard service, it is not making a standard sales offer. The customer is able to choose a tailored offering mix of elements, such as optional services benefits, delivery conditions, training, financing alternatives, technical services options, sales assistance options, etc.
