Building better marketing strategies


Strategic Focus makes a difference: without it, you're shooting in the dark.

The team at Achieving the Difference will enable you to develop real market focus in your business. From research to planning and proposition development, we use proven processes and techniques to help you grow your revenue and your bottom line. There's no substitute for an informed strategy.

Steve Platt, Managing Director, Graves Aircraft Components, says:

"The work which was facilitated by Achieving the Difference has made a massive impact on the business.

The new marketing strategy which was developed during the workshops has been fully embraced by the Senior Management Team. This implementation of the strategy has resulted in a significant increase in work at Graves with our previously largest customer being diluted from 80% to 30% of turnover.

Without the change in strategic direction the company would not have survived."


Benefit from our experience:

Plan for growth. Most businesses have opportunities to grow, with new markets and new products. But with limited resources, it's important to choose the markets and products that are most likely to yield rewards.

Achieve a market difference. Not all of your customers require the same things. Understanding how their needs differ and which offerings and messages will win them over, is at the heart of market focus.

Make excellent decisions. Knowledge is power and the more of it you have, the better informed your decisions and the lower your risk.

  • Know your markets
  • Know your customers
  • Know your own people
  • Know your competitors

Build long term value. All business value comes from your customers and every customer you acquire is an investment in your future success. To protect and grow your investment you must deliver what you promise and meet their changing needs with the right products and services at the right time.
