Hi May-March 2013 Entrepreneurship Students! Please click the "Comments" link below and post! This is a fast and easy way to show what we're doing here in some of these classes at SPC. Thanks so much.
I copied the market research information from Regions Bank market site and sent it out via email to my excising customers to get a feel of what demographics I should focus my sales plan on. This way I should get more return for given sales effort. Sad to say I had no response.

My sales plan involves the partnership between a credit union and a mobile phone carrier to provide the impetus to increase the use of electronic banking to reduce the banks environmental footprint. My survey revealed that 70% of the respondents were either moderately interested to very interested in the service. What they liked most about the sales plan was that it linked the ease of electronic banking and discounts on phones, tablets and service. The respondents overwhelmingly disliked the fact that they would have to wait until their phone plans had expired or they would have to incur early termination fees to participate. The feature of the sales plan that they like most (77.8%) was the usability of the product and service as the online banking and the electronic product would be demonstrated at the time of purchase. One hundred percent (100%) of the respondents were moderately likely or very likely to recommend the sales and service to someone they knew and seventy-eight (78%) of the respondents were moderately likely to use the proposed service to a competitor. One hundred percent of the respondents were from moderately likely to extremely likely to engage in online banking instead of visiting financial institutions and 89% felt that environmental sustainability was from moderately important to extremely important
