How Business Intelligence Software Programs Can Help Your Business

Efficient data management is essential for any business. The ability to quickly collect and analyze information can help executives make decisions that will place their company ahead of the market. However, even the smallest business can have an overwhelmingly large pool of data to sort through. This is what makes business intelligence software an incredibly powerful aide. Business intelligence tools make it possible for managers and executives to quickly make sense of the numbers and track the progress of their business. Whether you prefer traditional programs or the latest cloud marketing software program, it is important to choose the right business intelligence software program to help your company achieve its goals.
What Business Intelligence Software Can Do
All business intelligence tools organize data and arrange that data in a format that is easy for users to understand. Programs can generate spreadsheets and reports that allow companies to get a snapshot of their performance. Program developers have realized that businesses rely on unique sets of information to make their decisions. To meet these demands, software programs can perform a variety of specific functions carried out in by business analysts. Common functions performed by software programs include:
Operational Reporting - Operational reports cover the day-to-day operation in a business. Managers who directly supervise transactional activities often rely on operational reporting. For example, retail managers who oversee cash register operations can use this function to track daily sales and detect shortages. Many programs allow managers to view data that is updated by the minute.
Forecasting - Forecasting allows managers to make predictions based on specific sets of data. They can determine the profitability of certain decisions and even predict the outcome of alternative solutions. Forecasting software is an important tool in decision-making and is often used by high level executives. There are many programs that specialize in utilizing the latest forecasting methods.
Customer Intelligence - Customer intelligence is a useful tool for analyzing consumer trends. Companies use this data to get a clear picture of their consumers and to tailor their services to meet their needs. Marketing decisions are heavily influenced by customer intelligence.
Choosing the Right Business Intelligence Software Program
Determining the needs of your business is the first step in finding the right business intelligence software program. Owners of smaller businesses often prefer a program that is equally capable of handling multiple functions. Purchasing an all-in-one program is less costly than by multiple programs different intelligence functions. Cloud marketing software also allows companies to save on data storage costs by having a third party manage their information.
Larger businesses may want to purchase a function-specific program for each department. This allows their managers to focus on data that is relevant to their department. If your goal is to monitor business expenditures, it is advisable to select a program that is tailored to generating operational function reports. On the other hand, a marketing department might benefit from programs designed to deliver up-to-date consumer intelligence reports. Providing the best data management tools for each department will maximize efficiency for the entire company.
Business intelligence tools have helped many companies stay afloat during tough economic times. They allow managers to quickly respond to market trends and identify trouble spots that need to be addressed. Recent developments in software programs have made them more accessible to businesses of all sized. Cloud marketing software even allows businesses to save on data management and storage costs. Whether a business seeks to cut down on expenses or identify consumer trends, they can find a business intelligence software program tailored to their needs.

Marketing Musts

Small business owners and solo-practitioners are notorious for ignoring marketing efforts. It’s easy to do, isn’t it? You are ensconced in your business; serving clients, shipping product and doing what you need to do to keep the money flowing in. But if you are not spending time and money to market your business, then you are ignoring a critical success component.

If you are concerned about making time to market then download my audio and workbook on Increasing Productivity by 40%. Almost anyone can increase the amount of available time in their schedule by eliminating certain mistakes and behavior. This is your first step.

Begin by investing 10 – 20% of your time in marketing. You can split this time into 2 hour segments during each day or set aside a day for marketing. You may feel concerned about losing revenue if you do this, but revenues will increase as you invest more of your time and resources into your plan – it’s a natural cycle.  Here are some guidelines and ideas; customize them to work for you!

1. Create a plan. This does not have to be an intimidating process. You know what efforts have garnered clients in the past. List them and expand on them. A simple marketing plan includes a list of marketing practices and a timeline.

2. Face-to-face networking. On-line businesses benefit most significantly from social networking, search engine optimization and pay per click campaigns, but most solopreneurs will benefit by creating relationships off line- regardless of the type of business you run. To meet like-minded people go to classes, lectures and other events that interest you. Keep your eyes and ears open at the grocery store, coffee house and other local establishments. Look into your local Chamber of Commerce and networking groups to see if those are up your alley as well.

3. Cold Calling. I know, yuck! Here’s how I look at it. I love meeting new people. I call with the intent of having a nice conversation with someone new, and I’ve met the most amazing people! You can buy a list or hire a college student, bring on an intern, or have your virtual assistant compile a list for you. Begin by writing a script and giving intention to your call. Know what you wish to achieve; a face-to-face visit, permission to send information, to close the sale or send a free sample.

4. Telemarketing. If cold calling on your own is not an option, consider hiring a professional telemarketing firm.  A few hours a week can garner one or two solid leads for you. Depending on your business, this is a simple and sure way to increase revenues.

5. Social Media.  A good networker doesn’t walk into a room and hand out 20 business cards, tell everyone about himself and leave. They are there to build relationships. It’s the same in social media. Ask questions, express interest, get to know people. This is a long term investment and you won’t be sorry. Great relationships, business and personal, are built this way.

6. Podcasting. This intimidates and confuses some people, but once you research how to create your own podcast you will be amazed at how easy it is. Having your own podcast puts you in the position of the “expert” and also helps you to expand your horizons. My two shows have contributed to my growth and brought people into my life who are truly important to me. Promote your show via social media, your list,iTunes, in your blog and via your guests’ lists. Create special offers to bring traffic to your site and to build your list.

7. Guest blogging and inviting guest bloggers. If you are not blogging yet, do. This again, is a long term investment – you probably won’t see results right away, but they will come. Comment on other blogs and contact popular bloggers who also target your audience with ideas for their blog, offering to write for them.  You will gain subscribers and expand your audience. After you build your following invite popular bloggers to do a guest post on your blog. They will bring followers, many of whom will stay.

8. Follow up with your list and past clients. This one seems obvious but it’s often neglected. When a new client comes to me with cash flow problems this is the first area we look at. There is much untapped business with existing customers, past clients and prospects. What can you upsell? What special offers can you promote? How can you recreate yourself or your product to spark new interest?

9. Ask for referrals. Many solo-practitioners hesitate to ask for referrals. We tend to assume that if our clients like what we do for them they will spread the word. Not always so.  If you recruit the assistance of your happy clients your practice will grow. Supply them with materials to forward or hand to their friends and family. Make it easy for people to spread the word about you.

10. Be consistent in your message. It may take time for your marketing efforts to have an impact and prompt a significant response. People sometimes say “I’ve been following you for years….” and we wonder what took them so long to act. We all have different “buy” triggers and have to be in the right place emotionally and financially before we buy. Market frequently and be consistent in your key message.

What’s worked for you? What hasn’t worked? How consistent are you in your marketing? What frustrates you the most? What do you enjoy the most about marketing? Share your insights and experiences with us here!

Delivering


Again this seems obvious, but marketing isn’t just selling a product or service. In essence it is delivering on the promise created by your marketing mix. It is your job to accurately describe that brand promise, and if you fail to deliver on that promise, you have failed as a marketer. At the very least you need to deliver what you promise, but a smart marketer over delivers to delight and wow his customers.
Exchanging Offerings That Have Value
You provide customers value in the form of features and benefits delivered by your products and services. In return you demand value, usually in the form of financial payment. Only an unethical marketer would expect to receive value for something of no value. And only an ineffective marketer would deliver value yet not receive appropriate value in exchange. One of the roles of a marketer is to determine the fair value of the product/service he is marketing. He must then go about exchanging that product/service for the appropriate value.
Customers, Clients, Partners, and Society at Large
Marketers must satisfy these constituents by marketing products and services so that they fulfill customer needs/wants and attain their clients’/partners’ goals. There is also an ethical question about the role of the marketer to “protect” society at large by refusing to misrepresent features/benefits or hide the negative aspects of a product or service. True marketers think of long-term, strategic goals, and trying to “make a quick buck” at the expense of others is not how you attain these objectives.
In conclusion, “marketing” seems to mean different things to different people, but in reality marketing is a complex and robust activity that encompasses many different skills, competencies and people. It is a very exciting and rewarding field that offers a marketer the chance to explore his own interests and develop strengths in areas he may have never considered.

Definition of Marketing


“Marketing” seems to mean different things to different people. Some think of Ron Popeil and late-night infomercials, while others may think of the circulars and coupons they get in their Sunday paper. Many also think of the spam in their inboxes and the junk mail the mailman delivers every day. In reality all these views are correct, but marketing is much, much more.
Marketing involves selling products and services, but that doesn’t mean marketing is limited to sales activities. The American Marketing Association defines marketing as “the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.” Sounds impressive, but what does that really mean? This definition is chocked full of information, so let’s break down each component of the definition.
The Activity
Marketing involves activity. That sounds obvious, but it is important to remember that marketing is not passive; It requires active participation on the part of the marketer. It may sound like this active participation means solely promoting your product or service, but it really means employing the entire marketing mix (product, price, place and promotion), plus some of the legwork that goes into implementing the mix, such as market research, financial planning, strategy, etc.
Set of Institutions
Even the best salesperson in the world knows that marketing is a group effort that involves a variety of individuals and groups, internal and external to his organization. From an overall perspective marketing involves many institutions/groups, such as market researchers, advertising agencies, sales support, research and development, financial forecasting, distributors, etc. A key to good marketing is being able to manage and coordinate all these institutions and groups.
Processes
Marketing has to be process driven. While flying by the seat of your pants may sound like fun to some people and may even work for the short term, eventually it will land you in trouble. Without processes in place, you will not be able to plan effectively, determine what is working or not working, figure out which efforts have a positive or negative effect on sales or even learn from your successes and mistakes. To do all this, you really need a mapped-out process that can be honed and replicated.
Creating
Marketing is an innovative field that attracts very creative people. Marketing ideas and strategies are limited only by your imagination, and we see this high level of creativity in action every day. I have always respected an artist who can make his audience feel a certain emotion or understand a certain idea or point of view. But I admire a marketer who can make his audience act even more. Understanding and feeling are just the first steps for a marketer, while mobilizing toward action is what really counts. This is true creative power in action.
Communicating
If a tree falls in the forest, but no one is around to hear it fall, does it make a sound? This philosophical question mirrors a problem marketers face; You may have the best product or service in the world, but if you don’t communicate the benefits and features of that product or service well to the right audience (and not necessarily only through advertising) how is the world going to find out about it? Communication is important to marketing your product or service, and this communication can come in many forms, from overt advertisements and promotions to more subtle activities such as the effectiveness of your supply/value chain and branding.
