"Our resellers identified the Market Model Guide that QM created as one of the year's top two marketing resources."
Bob Silver, Reseller Marketing, Apple Computer, Inc.
Apple Computer, Inc. - Reseller Business Planning & Sales Tools
Created the Apple Market Model Guide, a reseller marketing and sales guide to help resellers sell to small businesses and nine industry segments including advertising, legal, medical, and real estate. The profiles covered demographics, psychographics, buying behaviors, application areas, vendors, and how to develop a sales and marketing plan for each segment.
The Guide was distributed to Apple field sales representatives and resellers. It helped them select industries to target, plan demand generation activities and better respond to customers.
