Penetrating mature markets is challenging for SMB companies due to intense competition from enterprises with well-established brands and entrenched customer relationships. But challenging is quite different from impossible, so for companies with a solid value proposition, hard to ignore differentiators, a burning desire to acquire customers, and a willingness to try new approaches, the payoff is worth the effort. By outsourcing one or more functions that have been traditionally held close to the vest by many companies, tremendous and previously elusive benefits may be gained, including objective and actionable market insight, a much clearer vision into immediate and future sales opportunities, and improved and measurable ROI. And they can be accomplished while enhancing the all important brand and customer engagement experience. So what is the thought process that drives vendor-change decisions in the mature market, why outsourcing customer acquisition capabilities is a smart strategic move. So share your views on this.

I fully support Srikanth here, statistically speaking, it is 7 times easier to maintain an existing client relation, than to tap a new one. It just makes a good business strategy to try to maintain as many existing clients as you can and...

Professor at IIM A was explaining marketing concepts: You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am very rich.Marry me!" That's Direct Marketing. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, "He's very rich.Marry him." That's Advertising. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say "Hi,I'm very rich.Marry me." That's Telemarketing. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride, and then say, "By the way, I'm very rich.Will you marry me?" That's Public Relations. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says, "You are very rich.." That's Brand Recognition. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm rich.Marry...

If we analyse the nature of students' demand, what they want as customers are: Expert Teaching Quality Learning Resources Well-structured Courses Either Marketable Skills or a Strong Brand or even both Flexibility Fair Assessment The concept that that all learning can be made fun and easy is flawed. Although it should be interesting, the task is to teach skills. It is difficult to get away with poor quality teaching any longer. However, in the area of assessment, there is insufficient objectivity and discipline at present. There is a strong case that all assessment should be anonymous and conducted at arm’s length. WINNERS AND LOSERS There are however a number of areas of new demand which fundamentally represent good news for those in the education sector who can ride the wave in a clever way: the knowledge worker; business advice; the law; health; "edutainment"; financial planning. Not everyone can win. Among the winners in these changing conditions are likely to be: those who...
