New DistributionMarketing Common Sense (Compilation)
Why marketing? Don't talk to me about objectivity; demand surges, competition spans time and space; information overload, everyone is self-centered—on reflection, the only constant in marketing common sense is change. Don't talk to me about macro; don't mention BAT or Wall Street, then earn cabbage money—grand narratives don't change the world a bit; destiny belongs to grassroots heroes. Forgive me, a butcher licking blood from a knife, subjective and micro: Why marketing? Sellers create value for buyers to satisfy needs and gain returns. 1. Gain returns: profit-seeking and fame and fortune. Profit-seeking: current...
New DistributionHow Should Sales Respond When Customers Bargain at the Moment of Transaction?

New DistributionChina's Food Industry Faces Its Toughest Moment in 30 Years
China's food safety situation has imposed a huge cost on the food industry, as noted by Meng Suhe, president of the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology, at the 2015 International Food Safety Conference on April 22. This is reflected not only in the 'domestic demand mutation' of Chinese people buying milk powder globally, but also in the 'loss of position' of Chinese food in the global market. Some companies report that high-quality Chinese pepper products must be labeled as Indian to be exported. The global competitiveness of China's food industry is thus evident. Meng Suhe stated that it was from 2008 that China's food industry truly began its self-repair process, or was forced to do so.
New DistributionDo You Know the 25 Expectations Your Customers Have?
Listening is the first lesson in sales, so it's important to listen to customers' expectations. Here are 25 treatments customers need: 1. Just tell me the key points; I don't want a long-winded conversation. Once you know me a bit, get to the point. 2. Tell me the truth, and don't use the word 'honestly'—it makes me nervous. If what you say makes me doubt or I know it's false, you're out. 3. I want an ethical salesperson: because a few unethical bad apples give salespeople a bad name. Your actions, not your words, testify to your conscience (those who talk about morality often lack it).
New DistributionTop 10 Closing Techniques for Sales Negotiations
1. Three-Sentence Close: Do you know it can save money? Do you want to save money? If you want to save money, when do you think is the right time to start? 2. Decision Close: Whether you buy today or not, you must make a decision. It doesn't matter what decision you make. If you only need to invest... to..., why let... continue? 3. Directly Address Distrust: Don't you trust me? Don't you think I'll be honest with you? What do I need to do to earn your trust? How can I make you more comfortable? How long until you see me as reliable? If you think you trust me, we can continue now.

New DistributionProduct King: Eight Principles of P&G's New Product Launch
In China, on average, two new products are launched every hour, while at least two are withdrawn from the market. Whether it's a company with over ten billion in scale or a small workshop starting from scratch, new product launches are always a necessary path for business development. However, while the average success rate for new product launches among Chinese companies is a mere 5%, P&G's global success rate exceeds 64%, and in China, across 15 brands and over 100 new product launches, the success rate reaches as high as 85%–90%.

New DistributionHow Much Should Supermarkets Mark Up Products to Make a Reasonable Profit?
Mr. Liu, a manager at a distribution company in Beijing, has been supplying supermarkets for ten years. He revealed that a brand of rice crackers he distributes has an ex-factory price of 1.2 yuan, a supply price to supermarkets of 2.55 yuan, and a retail price of 3 yuan. He explained that supermarkets earn not only front-end gross profit but also back-end profits through various fees and rebates, which significantly inflate prices. Investigations show that supermarket fees can reach 40-45% of product costs, and experts call this practice a unique Chinese 'commercial anomaly' that drives up consumer prices.
New DistributionMastering Sales Visits: Lead with Your Strengths
In sales visits, it's almost mandatory to praise your company, products, services, and clients, but customers may not care about what you say, and you may not address what they care about. More importantly, no advantage is inherent; it only becomes an advantage if the customer perceives it as meaningful. Before advantages, there must be relevance: whoever connects more customer needs, greater interests, or does so first, holds the advantage.

New DistributionIf You Can't Even Be Bothered to Do Displays, Then Don't Do Sales!

New DistributionThree Moves for Regional Managers to Fix Problem Markets in FMCG
A regional manager is someone who can plan, develop, manage, and strategize a regional market, lead a sales team to meet challenges, solve market problems, and achieve sales targets as required by the company. A problem market arises from company policy or guidance errors, poor work attitudes of market personnel, or wrong working methods, leading to unresolved issues that accumulate into a problem market. The boss judges a regional manager by results: regardless of color, a cat that catches mice is a good cat.
New DistributionBe a Professional Hitman
A colleague recently opined that marketing is not revolution but assassination. Indeed, that hits the nail on the head. Revolution relies on faith, with many brave souls falling along the way, becoming martyrs rather than pioneers. Marketing, like assassination, demands deep investigation, systematic planning, and a single, decisive strike. The difference between amateur and professional lies in control and the ability to adapt, ensuring survival and success.
