How to match marketing services to a service business
Use this guide to match marketing services to the business problem, buyer action, operational constraint, and available evidence.
Choose the work from the business problem, not from a menu of channels. The useful service is the one that changes the blocked buyer or sales action.
Read the evidence in three passes.
Locate the constraint
Check demand, message, proof, page, tracking, response, sales follow-up, and delivery capacity.
Scope the work
Choose the smallest service that can fix the named constraint and produce evidence of the change.
What a useful result looks like.
A sound match states what will change, who owns the work, what access is required, and how the business will know the problem improved.
