How to succeed in marketing job?

To maintain good known persons circle and to enjoy the job.

1st satisfy ONLY a single customer fully then c the result
First of all, try to find out what your customers are into, what are their priorities, and then you can create an urgency, or a need for them.

EXAMPLE: Moving Company
You tell your customer that the Hurricane season is coming, so it is recomended that you book with you now, later other companies won't do it, and they might give them higher prices.

Conclusion: make them think that they need your product to survive!!!
Good Luck!!!
learn as much as you can about the business, keep your customers satisfied, and do a lot of research on potential customers so you seem knowledgeable about them and their business.
Remember that marketing is more than just "advertising". To succeed in marketing really means to help the business for whom you are working succeed. Suddenly your definition for success depends upon what the business' definition for success is. Do they want to grow sales? Do they want higher profits? Larger customer base? New image?

One of my greatest successes in marketing for one company was to chop off several products, and several customers, yet increased the profit of the company dramatically. So marketing isn't always the flashy promotional side that the movies like to portray. It is (and should be) a very, very strategic-minded position.

But the primary way to succeed is to always look at how your customer currently views your product/company versus your competitor and figure out if it "fits" with the way your business wants to be viewed. And if your company doesn't currently stand out then the key is to DIFFERENTIATE. Be different. This not only works w/ a commodity product, but with you as an individual in workplace as you are essentially just a commodity unless you differentiate yourself.

Good Luck!
