Due Date: April 26, 2005
Submitted Date: April 26, 2005 Abstract Total home automation is evaluated for the merits of establishing a like business in Lee County, Florida. Existing businesses and their abilities were compared to this business plan. The impact of growth in Lee County on this type of business is discussed as well as the wants and needs of new home owners. Technological trends in the home automation sector and how it affects the different markets and customers is assessed. The findings of this paper show that there is a need for a home automation business that would provide a high level of professionalism and quality in Lee County. Studies show the home automation business can be lucrative and profitable in Lee County. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to introduce a marketing plan for a new company providing a service that encompasses total home automation. This segment already exists with a growing need for companies that are able to meet the demands of the customer, primarily the builders and the wants of the homeowners they are trying to appease. The primary aspect of the business that is lacking is a sense of professionalism, quality and reliability. The concept of partnering with a builder, or builders, will become essential in the survival of companies in the field of home automation. The builder, attempting to meet the needs and wants of the new home owner, must have competent and knowledgeable low-voltage companies working with the company through the entire process beginning with the design phase of a project through the move-in phase. What used to be a very narrow segment of the low-voltage wiring sector that focused on home theater and home audio has expanded into pre-wiring for and providing total home automation. Total home automation includes home

    1. The strategy that I would like to see the management of Chester Company adopt over the next five years is that of “niche cost leader” (Capsim Management Simulations, 2012) for the low technology segment of the B2B sensor market and to obtain thirty-five percent of that market. This will be achieved by appealing to customers’ sense of thrift. To cut prices below the competition, management should retain the current product and not invest much in research and development. Production costs must also be greatly reduced. To do this, an early investment in automation is necessary as it will reduce labor expenses in future years which will increase the…

    They need to look at product augmentation to see if there is anything they can offer the end-user that will exceed their expectations, and therefore differentiate their product. For example, SDT could reach a co-marketing agreement with a customer-valued garage door opener manufacturer. Then they could offer a package deal with the door and the opener as a package. Money should be spent in educational literature about the doors features and benefits because studies show customers expect it. The quality features, and styles should be marketed. In addition the styles should be looked at if a superior design can be implemented. Establish relationships with regionally based home improvement centers, offering them a SDT product line which they can market under a proprietary name exclusive to that retail entity. The retailer would be required to maintain a minimum on-site inventory thus easing the inventory burden for SDT. SDT will offer training to the retailer enabling them to install and service the proprietary products with a high level of competence, thus providing customers-service from point of sale…

    The case illustrates these issues by focusing on a custom systems development project – “MaxFli” – for a sales force automation system that is needed in a number of local countries (end markets) of a large multinational company (BAT). It is part of a business change initiative for implementing best practice among a field sales force and gathering decision-making data. The MaxFli project takes a decidedly “decentralized” approach to development; this initiative follows a prior “centralized” project that had been poorly received in the end markets. The case chronicles the decision to build MaxFli in one end market, the challenges with development and vendor partners, and its successful implementation in that market, followed by considerable difficulties of migrating this locally-developed solution to other end markets that face a different set of competitive and geographic realities.…

    Sales and Trojan Horse

    • 2273 Words

    SaleSoft was founded in July 1993 with the objective of marketing PROCEED, a Comprehensive Sales Automation System (CSAS). Despite the fact that there was a good level of enthusiasm amongst the prospective buyers, the high level of supply time was a drawback with a meagre five such systems being sold till date. Thus converting the interest to sales was a real problem. Now, to seek additional funding from the Venture Capitalists for future developments, the company was under dire pressure to show performance and is in a dilemma whether or not to introduce a new product christened Trojan Horse (TH). This product can be developed, with some work, using the existing modules of PROCEED's Sales System that are already available. Trojan Horse (TH) could potentially distract SaleSoft from its primary objective of becoming a leader in the high end of the Sales Automation (SA) software industry. There is also a risk that it might cannibalize sales from the PROCEED product. TH can potentially prevent SaleSoft from forming relationships with consultants whose support is critical to the success of PROCEED. But, TH might offer an easier alternative for SaleSoft to get new customers, gain quick sales, and generate the much needed revenues.…
