1) customer needs, or what is going to meet
It is always important to know the needs of customers, but more importantly, first properly identify who we want them to be our customers.
One of the biggest challenges encountered by organizations today is to properly understand the requirements, needs and concerns of customers, in order to create or generate successful products and services (and which ensure the permanence in a market).

The customer needs are diverse and it is important that we all understand that if we want to improve or create value, users evaluate the performance of our products and services through its features. It is therefore important to analyze these characteristics for each of our products and services:
What are the characteristics (eg a restaurant):
1) Physical determine the quality of my product or service (P / S)? • Smell, size, focus, colors, uniforms, decorations, etc..
2) In determining volume quantity and the quality of my P / S? • Lighting, lots on dishes, menu variety. 3) cost, price and value that determine the quality of my P / S? • Cost of dinner, drinks or services. 4) The health and safety? • Zero dust, zero waste, clean vegetables, fat-free dishes, etc..
5) In service and maintenance? • Short attention, change settings, gifts at the end, and so on.
6) In respect for the environment? • Rational use of water (treatment plant), recycling of garbage, etc..
Sure to review our products and services and their quality characteristics (from the customer perspective), we will find many areas of opportunity and improvement in our organization (we do not do things and we should, and things we do but are not constant).

This information on the quality characteristics can be performed by members of the company or institution, but it is best that the needs, concerns and requirements come directly from the customer’s voice. 2) groups of customers, or who will be satisfied, and Here, then how important is to define in advance Who are our customers really want?, To not make the common mistake of interviewing to be. The recommendation is that the definition of customer information is very precise and specific, that is, market talk of micro segments, rather than the whole market in general (my clients are women of a certain age, at a certain time and using the restaurant to coffee, etc.)..

The past experiences of a person can certainly make who he is right now. These things can certainly mold a person to become a better individual or not. Take for example Robert “Bob” Gerberg Jr. His previous work experiences really helped him to become one of the leaders in technology-based service businesses in the world. It also helped that he had the right education moving forward which was a big part of his success.

Before Bob Gerberg Jr. had his own company, he was working with several companies which gave him enough experience and knowledge. Right after his college graduation from Colgate University, Gerberg worked for Bausch & Lomb as an account executive for more than three years. As an account executive, he was under the personal products division. He made a buzz from this company achieving so many things in the process. When Gerberg was done with his tenure in Bausch & Lomb, he decided that he should get a Master of Business Administration so that one day, he would be able to create his own company.

Bob Gerberg took up his MBA in Finance and Marketing from the University of Colorado At Boulder – Leeds School of Business. After finishing his MBA in 1992, he worked with the printing press that his father, Robert J. Gerberg Sr., used in publishing his famous books. The younger Gerberg was the President of Princeton/Masters Press, Inc. for two years (1992-1994). Under his leadership, the company was able to publish one of the most successful job hunting books during the 1990s.

The early success of Bob Gerberg in his previous jobs showed that he is ready to venture in his own company. Shortly after stepping down in his post in Princeton/Masters Press, Inc., Gerberg put up his own company in the information technology and services industry. Advanced Career Technologies, Ltd. or ACT is a technology-based job searching firm that has been in its industry for 18 years already. This company is used by professionals and executives in the world with regards to their job inquiries. Its services include Technology-Based E-cruiting for Recruiting Executives, Technology-Based Job Hunting Assistance for Outplacing Executives, and Technology-Based Job Hunting Assistance for Spouses of Relocated Employees.

Bob Gerberg Jr.’s success in his current career would not be possible if not for his previous work experience. It also helped that Bob Gerberg was a very good employee before that it made his life as an owner much easier.

Introduction
Since the conceptual definition, in order to establish this test in a practical application of theoretical abstraction from business strategy, break in the theoretical framework to conceptualize about it, and then build my own concept about what is business strategy? and its practical application in my own company, then Development:

1. The strategy is to create a unique and valuable position involving a set of different activities. Jose Luis Orozco Martinez. ITESO, Marketing Strategies 2004.

2. A strategy is a guideline or logic with which action is directed towards a particular goal, given the characteristics of the medium in which it operates: the strengths and weaknesses, obstacles and forces against the virtues and skills overcome these obstacles. Then the strategy comes to choosing a course of action from among several options or alternatives. Carlos Corrales Diaz, ITESO, Courses UAHI, 2000.

3. Peter Drucker proposes that a manager’s performance is judged by two criteria of effectiveness. The ability to do things “right” and efficiency to make them “correctly”. Of these two criteria, Drucker suggests that effectiveness is more important, since neither the highest possible degree of efficiency can make a wrong choice of goals. These two criteria have a parallel with the aspects of strategy: setting the right goals and then choose the means “right” to achieve those goals. Both aspects of planning are vital.

4. If then the strategic values ??are conceptually defined as actions that link the vision of a business and its encounter with reality, I believe that business strategy is fundamentally a wide range of tactical decisions and practices at a time, they should propose a business, creating wealth and institutional values ??that allow self-regulation and self-development of it, in favor of the people involved and society in general.

Examples of marketing objectives include: attract more customers, sales incentives, publicize new products, better coverage or exposure of the products, etc..

The design of marketing strategies is one of the functions of marketing. In order to design strategies in the first place, we must look to our target audience, based on this analysis, we can design strategies that take care of their needs or desires, or take advantage of their characteristics or habits.
