Technology Products and Solutions

“Companies don’t buy technology. They buy solutions.”

Your company may promote products broadly for a wide range of customers. But when your offerings can also be positioned more narrowly, vertical marketing and industry marketing can make a lot of sense. Often, we find that technology products and solutions are well-suited for vertical marketing.

For example, a technology firm may create products that are particularly useful in healthcare. Or, a software company might have solutions that help simplify tedious processes for accountants, bankers, or law offices.

“A successful technology sales person will concentrate on a specific industry. If the prospective customer is large enough, a single sales person may dedicate 100% of their efforts to that customer.” —Walker Sands

To be sure, we’re not advocating that technology products and solutions be positioned for industry markets only. The broad value proposition of your offerings should be clearly expressed so businesses across a wide variety of markets can see the benefits.

But vertical marketing and industry marketing can also help you zero-in on prospects more likely to be receptive to your messaging. That’s a smart use of your marketing budget!

“Sales professionals need to research the company and provide specific examples of how the new tools can positively impact their business.” —Tom Searcy
