Lemon Organizations

Create and Sell: There are still business owners who set up companies that are driven by their internal understanding and view of the world. They have an idea and CREATE something then they go out and look for customers to sell it to. This was  a great business format in the earlier part of the 1900s. Today, this company is going to fail in 5 years.

They can’t answer: “Who they are in the marketplace.” They can usually only grab 11-18% of the customers in market unless they are exceptional visionaries or lucky. Most of them believe they are.

Their business strategies are driven by what they have heard about or have read in marketing books. The thinking is something called: inside > out. The real lemon with this approach is that the company’s owners or manager are like: “Let’s just try it and see what happens.” This is guesswork and gambling. We, at BinkNyc, are not fans of this approach. It’s HIT or miss.

These clients are seldom aware and seldom anticipate vast changes happening in the marketplace. They are unfamiliar with something called a cultural ecology. They assume that others will LOVE their idea and expect our firm to sell it for them. We can’t help them. They often sneer at paying for research.

Our research says that 50-75% of these will be out of business in five years or less. These types of businesses are fun, creative but rarely ever get to the Fortune 500. In fact, we can guarantee 9 times out of 10 that they never will.

Orange Organizations

Ask and Make: Orange organizations still believe in the traditional focus group. They’ll just ask the customer what they want, the customer will tell them, they’ll develop this product or service, and believe it will sell. This type of business did great in the mid-1900s. They are open and ready to listen to the customer’s input just like major corporations did in the 1940s right up to the 1980s.

The problem with the Orange approach is two-fold:
1) The Orange organizations end up trying to be “all things to all people.”
2) They assume that a customer’s mere approval will grow to LOVE their product or service. It is a delusion of grandeur.

Our research says that 27-47% of these businesses will be out of business in 5 years. Perhaps we can work with these organizations if we can somehow educate and save them from themselves and their old form of thinking.

Apple Organizations

The Big Apple!

Anticipate and Lead is a market-driven organizational approach. It’s a successful one at that. We love clients that understand this business model.

This model is where one bases their strategy on making conscious choices about which markets they will serve and how they will add value to very particular market segments. The are NOT acting out of passion for their own idea but rather looking for “White Spaces” in the market they are entering.

First, they anticipates where a market is leaning. Then, you seek to become a leader in this field. Being first usually wins something.

You can become a high-performance organization, dominate the market and participate in a strategic process. Research + Strategy = Propels the organization and their mission forward; into the future.

Anticipation is looking for gaps or holes in a said market. This is also called the “White Space” in the market. There are many ways to find out what and where this White Space is. Filling up this hole or fulfilling this need, assists a market and many > most its customers with the proper branding.

(See Donald Trump (Part 1 or Part 2)).

It is a precisely, measurable process. The results are predictable. Naturally, it is finding a hole if there is one and branding it in a way that sticks. Some markets are so saturated, there is hardly wiggle any room to enter into its field marketplace. SOCIAL MEDIA may be one example of a business ecology where there is little “White Space” in that market.

Maybe this is only my perception. The research reveals all.

Using apples to make an apple pie is an all-American dream. Let’s make some delicious pie. We’ll meet and speak. It’s almost like a date.

This excerpt is about just one Neurochemical bit out of 86 TENETS for a business to be assured success.

It may sound unbelievable to say something like “business” and “assured success” in the same sentence but, if you glance at our case studies, you’ll see that it is true.

Consequently, not only do the companies we work with succeed, but they survive challenges presented by competitors while double or tripling their business.

 

You may be asking yourself “How is this possible?” Well, the short answer is Humans are much more malleable and subject to influence than most of us think.

We stat this journey with Research.
Here are some samples we’ve previously
used for the case study below:

My business partner and I attended a few meetings with a potential new client. They are a credit card processing company. The client was having a hard time grasping some of the concepts we presented called the Neurochemical. Nevertheless, they were intrigued by the ideas we presented. Since that hadn’t hired anyone else yet, we were still in the running. The problem was we were charging twice the amount of the competing companies.

They were fascinated with a few tests and surveys we gave them. The suveys are there to give us insight into a brief psychological analysis. We tested the President and Vice-President of the company first. What we found from the results was if these “decision makers” were built and prepared for success. One was and other wasn’t. This could present a problem since both of them would have a final say on the decisions we would take.

We then discussed their budget, a payment schedule, and who was who on their current staff. We would later request, if hired, that employees and clients take similar survey.

We are Process based. These are always the first steps we take toward a approaching any new project. We find taking these steps are both critical and necessary.

Once we are hired, we have Charles Costa handle the deeper, more thorough research. Then when we have the research together, we apply:

 

At long last, the client was ready and asked us to come to a final meeting with the proposal and contract. They were ready to sign.

PLEASE NOTE: Our bid was twice the amount of all the other design, advertising or marketing firms. Apparently, the cases and methodical approach we presented was convincing enough, we thought. Besides that, we all got along splendidly. That also counts.

In this particular meeting the President said that there was some bad news and they weren’t going to sign up with us unless we dropped the price by half. They even presented and shared all of the other bids from our competing suitors. I mentioned again that this price drop would be impossible for us to do since we set a price based on hours, days and weeks of work. I also said “In the end, we generate measurable results. The price we set is the price.”

 

 

Have NO Fear

I stood up and started to fold the cover to my laptop and packed up my pen and paper and said: “No problem. In all the research we’ve done so far, we’ve found 30 other competitors at the same level as and in a similar situation as your business, I’m certain one of them will be more than happy to work with us.“

Stunned, the President stood up and said: “Please sit down. We’ll sign this right now.“ pointing down at the contract. He told his assistant: “Get me the checkbook.”

We didn’t fall for their bluff. The room was all warm and fuzzy again. Smiles abounded. My partner was still stunned.

We charged this client a conservative five-digit number only to have them sell both the brand and a business plan for seven figures within six months to a major processing company. It was their right to do so, so there’s no argument there. We know and have learned that the work we do can add tremendous value in the right hands.

Much later on when the Vice-President (a 30 year marketing guru) first read their new Branding campaign, he smiled and said: “Good God! This is like branding and marketing on steroids and crack.” [ March 8, 2013 ]

 

This was a great compliment.
