Many do not follow generally accepted basic business practices such as knowing product costs and margins, obtaining strategically useful information about customers, conducting market research to identify prospective customers, and understanding competitors' advantages and disadvantages needed to build effective growth strategies. Their approach to pursuing growth strategies--a.k.a shotgun marketing--is akin to ready, shoot, aim--and often the business' working capital, cash flow, financial ratios, and overall profitability are insufficient to afford the costs of needed sales, marketing, and promotional strategies typically called for to find and develop new customers, markets, and products. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Small business marketing.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008004317 650 0 Industrial marketing.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85065897 650 7 Small business marketing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1121328 650 7 Industrial marketing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 971345 653 B2B sales 653 B2B marketing 653 B2B strategy 653 B2B customer 653 product, and market development 653 B2B small business 653 B2B strategic planning 653 B2B sales planning 653 B2B marketing research 653 B2B new product development 653 B2B growth planning 653 B2B marketing and sales 653 manufacturing marketing and sales 653 manufacturing marketing strategy 653 manufacturing growth strategy 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFrance, Charles E.|tMarketing strategy for small- to medium-sized manufacturers.|d[New York, N.Y.] (222 East 46th Street, New York, NY 10017) : Business Expert Press, 2013|z9781606496152 830 0 2013 digital library. 830 0 Marketing strategy collection.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2010026961|x2150-9662 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=582663|zOnline eBook.
