may excite me more than working on a festive season sales campaign .
I can do both well , but one would be more exciting to get out of bed for me than the other .
You may be quite the opposite kind of marketer . The kind that is driven by the big bang , that leaves the confetti up in the air for everyone to marvel at . Just one shot and you are home and dry .
The work that follows wears you down to the bone . You enjoy product or campaign design and quite frankly , you cannot wait to put the festive season products under the beautiful Christmas tree . Nothing wrong with that .
Depending on your current situation , the needs of your organization or your product sales targets , the odds are that you would likely benefit from trying both settings and seeing which feels best .
What works for one product might not work for another , like in my case . In any event though , the question of the long term value of a products or service is worth asking .
In contemplating this question , you might uncover new insight into the kind of sales you wish to close this season and the kind of customer you want to have once the season is over .
You might also create a new thrill that sits with you through the hard times and good times , just like your customer . A garden that is well tended to is always a beauty at sunrise and even at sunset .
