Marketing & Sales

MARKETING PLAN

To reach our target market, we plan on using a multi-faceted marketing strategy. Our primary focus will be on digital marketing, utilizing social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to reach potential customers. We will also use paid advertising on relevant food and lifestyle websites, as well as influencer marketing to reach our target audience. Additionally, we will leverage our team's industry connections to secure coverage in relevant trade publications and food-related blogs.

We will also develop a content marketing strategy, creating valuable and informative content related to plant-based cuisine, nutritional science, and entrepreneurship. This will help establish our brand as a thought leader in the industry and help attract potential customers to our platform.

Lastly, we will also consider traditional marketing methods such as attending food and hospitality trade shows, and networking events, to introduce our brand to potential customers and partners. Overall, our marketing efforts will be focused on reaching the right audience, and building trust and credibility with potential customers, to ultimately drive sales and revenue growth.

SALES PLAN

Our sales plan is focused on building relationships with potential customers and providing them with the information and resources they need to make an informed decision about our online course marketplace.

Step 1: Lead Generation: We will use a combination of targeted advertising, content marketing, and social media outreach to generate leads and attract potential customers to our website.

Step 2: Qualifying Leads: Once a lead has expressed interest in our product, we will use a series of qualifying questions to determine if they are a good fit for our services. This will help us identify potential customers who are most likely to purchase our courses.

Step 3: Nurturing Leads: For leads that are not yet ready to make a purchase, we will use email marketing and other forms of communication to provide them with valuable information and resources that will help them make an informed decision.

Step 4: Closing the Sale: Once a lead is ready to make a purchase, we will use a consultative selling approach to guide them through the buying process and answer any questions they may have. We will also provide them with a detailed course curriculum, pricing options and a flexible payment plan.

Step 5: Follow-Up: After a customer has made a purchase, we will continue to provide them with excellent customer service and support to ensure they are satisfied with their purchase. We will also use this opportunity to upsell and cross-sell related courses and offer them discounts on future purchases.

We will also implement an affiliate program that will allow our students to earn money by promoting our courses to their networks and will also provide them with a personalized referral link which can be shared on social media, email and other platforms.

In addition, we will be continuously monitoring our sales process, to identify areas for improvement and optimize the conversion rate.
