Chapter 1 An Overview of Marketing Marketing is… A philosophy, an attitude, a perspective, or a management orientation that stresses customer satisfaction. An organizational activity, set of institutions, and processes. Notes: Marketing has two facets. First, it’s a philosophy. Second, marketing is 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. David Packard, cofounder of Hewlett-Packard, stated that “marketing is too important to be left only to the marketing department.” Marketing is a process that focuses on delivering value and benefits to customers. It uses communication, distribution, and pricing strategies to provide customers with the goods and services they want. It involves building long-term, mutually rewarding relationships. It entails an understanding that organizations have many connected stakeholder partners, including employees, suppliers, stockholders, distributors, and others. 1 © 2015 by Cengage Learning Inc.

13 Sales vs. Market Orientations
Chapter 1 An Overview of Marketing Sales vs. Market Orientations Sales Orien-tation Market Orien-tation Organization’s Focus Firm’s Business For Whom? Primary Profit Goal? Tools to Achieve Selling goods and services Everybody Maximum sales volume Primarily promotion Inward Outward Coordin-ated use of marketing activities Customer satisfac-tion Specific groups of people Satisfying wants and needs Notes: Sales-oriented firms focus on their own needs; market-oriented firms focus on customers’ needs and preferences. Sales-oriented companies consider themselves to be deliverers of goods and services, whereas market-oriented companies view themselves as satisfiers of customers. Sales-oriented firms direct their products to everyone; market-oriented firms aim at specific segments of the population. Although the primary goal of both types of firms is profit, sales-oriented businesses pursue maximum sales volume through intensive promotion, whereas market-oriented businesses pursue customer satisfaction through coordinated activities. This comparison is not meant to belittle the role of promotion, especially personal selling, in the marketing mix. Salespeople in market-oriented organizations are generally perceived as problem solvers and links to supply sources and new products. Discussion/Team Activity: Identify organizations with sales or market orientations. Discuss the effectiveness of each organization’s strategy. © 2015 by Cengage Learning Inc. All Rights Reserved.
