Every day we are witnesses to the failure and disappearance of top industries that were considered pioneers and leaders in their markets.
On top of all the failures, many other industries are also suffering.
Most people are scratching the head and wondering why? Why are so many big firms suffering, and what is causing this phenomenon?
The simplest response is the marine markets are not doing well, we are in the midst of a market crisis. Times are tough and everyone around the entire globe is feeling it. But if it is true that we are enduring a crisis why are some businesses thriving while others are struggling to survive?
One explanation is directly proportional to these businesses’ marketing approaches.
Some of these larger companies in the marine industry believe that being big is a good enough reason for clients to choose them. If a company is large it must be doing something right correct?
Many people believe this idea to be true that large companies must be doing great, but times are changing.
We as a human race are evolving and growing.
The Industrial age is gone and we have very quickly transitioned into the information age. Living in the information age we have a vast amount of information at our fingertips.
Consumers have an endless amount of options when searching for which business, they should choose to work with.
Large or small there are a lot more businesses than there were before. Their techniques and approaches are also evolving.
Years ago, the salesman had to walk from house to house knocking on each and every door. At this time, this technique was most likely the best way to create a network and introduce your business or product to people.
If you were a huge company it was paramount that you came up with the best way to go “door to door” and promote your business. You would have needed to use these internal resources to grow your visibility, to build new clients, and also to reengage old clients.
Work and the strategies that you use are the minimum requirements to avoid the default, we don’t need to use the “crisis” excuse to justify your current situation.
Companies that are thriving today are companies that learned from the crisis and used it to their advantage to build long-lasting relationships with their clients. They utilized unused resources and not only capitalized, but also expanded during this crisis.
This can be achieved if you are willing to put the work into your business, however, it is important that you put the proper effort into the correct aspects of your business.
Advertising using the correct instruments, expanding contracts, engaging your clients, and also promoting the opportunity of partnering with new clients are all things that a company should and must be doing at this time.
Work attitude is key to avoid the negative feeling of enduring a crisis.
