OK, you’ve probably heard this before, some consultant or a company offering you business training and solutions, and they’re telling you it’s a turnkey solution. The thing about turnkey solutions is that they open doors that may have everything you need behind them or they may only give you access to the limited data and information the provider considers an all-inclusive solution. It’s not deceptive marketing, as there are still a whole lot of “experts” out there who think of doing business in subsets. So, their turnkey solution is to the subset in which they specialize.
A great example would be the seminars and courses still being taught every day around the country that expose the business owner to the Five Ps of Marketing:
- Product
- Price
- Place
- Promotion
- People
No, we’re not saying that these no longer apply, but they’re definitely not the “all-inclusive” bullet points that they used to be. The Internet changed that, and then mobile devices and our adoption of them has changed the business marketing paradigm yet again. So, you can’t just stand behind a podium and point to a screen with these Five Ps on it and say you’re going to solve a business’s problems in marketing and profitability. A business is a complicated entity, but we’ve put together an exclusive LocalBiz Marketing Course that brings all of the facets of business together, including a more current version of the Five Ps.
