Are Your Marketing People Respected?

by | Sales & Marketing, Strategic Planning

In a survey conducted by Chief Marketing Officer Council, only 10 percent of respondents said they thought their marketing people are “highly influential and strategic.”

Less than half said their teams are “well regarded and respected.”

Seventy-three percent said their organizations have no formal scorecard for measuring marketing performance.

Hmmm… something to think about. How is your bank faring on the marketing spectrum?

Are you continually assessing your marketing efforts? Do you know which tools and strategies create the highest ROI or are you still advertising cutesy sayings using mass advertising methods? Is marketing regarded as a department or mindset of all your people?

The purpose of marketing is to constantly elevate the quality of your customers—current and future. Do your marketing strategies and tactics focus on that and only that? If not, you now have a plan on how you can make sure your marketing is “well regarded and respected.”
