What are the Top Ways to Be a Good Marketer?

What does it take to be a good marketer? You must love your product or service as a true love loves their beloved. It takes deep knowledge of the attributes, and unflagging enthusiasm. You must market constantly which means saying the same thing over and over. How many times, and how many ways can you say, "I coach people in Emotional Intelligence," or "our frosted caramel pound cake is the best you can buy"? How do you stay fresh? How do you keep taking a new look at your product and service?

to be good marketer you must fall in love with marketing, in my simple and short experience i have seen a lot of marketing managers / directors who understand nothing about marketing not creative or even have a sense of marketing :) you probably know a lot of them, trust me no university no school can guarantee that you will be genius marketer, but if you start reading about marketing from the real source of marketing specially i recommends those books ( Marketing principle for Philip kotler ) 1000 pages student version (Marketing management for kotler and keller ) 800 pages professionals version i'm 100% sure that you will know about marketing more than 75% of the managers and directors that you know , forget your products and services , take a break and start reading both books are very good start from any one wants to learn and to be real marketer.

1. Understand "the public" and marketing. 2. Therefore: Marketing 101: By the time you're "sick and tired of it," the public is just beginning to hear about it. 3. Another reason you must repeat and repeat is that open rates are so low, and attention spans are so short. 4. It can be the litmus test of your passion. 5. Or take a vacation. 6. We create our enthusiasm by creating our enthusiasm. 7. Schedule your marketing and sales time for when you're "in the mood." 8. Get inspired by reading other people's copy. 9. Book a brainstorming session with a marketing coach when you get down and run out of ideas. 10. Listen carefully when your satisfied customers describe your products and services, and, yes, write them down.
