I am aiming for the success of this new business and will hopefully reach my target, because my family and I are aware of the risks we are taking as entrepreneurs. I am a young man who has just finished his A-levels and I always take my work and responsibilities seriously. This report shall ensure the success of the record shop for a long period of time. I will produce a marketing strategy to guarantee this plan being a success. It must meet the shop's short-term objectives as well as helping it after the initial stages.

Telemarketing Project

Telemarketing By Bryan Chong Abstract To face drastically competitive marketing, business firms seek the marketing method of low-cost and high-effectiveness in order to get ahead in the difficult marketing environment. Marketing is not like what it used to be. This exciting, somewhat uncomfortable face has come home to stay for most marketing professionals. Change in markets, technology, distribution and communication have worked like earthquakes to fold and shift hallowed assumptions( burying some, elevating others, and exposing entirely new approaches. Telemarketing has experienced all of these changes. Old approaches are no longer acceptable, tested and proven wisdoms have become even more important, and new demands have forced the evolution of unprecedented new capabilities and powers. Clearly, the time has come to survey and chart this new Telemarketing landscape. Because telephones are very popular, the cost of salespeople selling is growing, and the using of 800 numbers is much more common today. These factors result in the rapidly growing Telemarketing. Today, the Telemarketing has become the most important marketing method in the U.S. Therefore, this research is meant to explore and better understand this kind of marketing. In addition, it is also to research and analyze the responses, opinions, and acceptance conditions of common residents on Telemarketing.
