Understand the View

Many computer resellers don't realize how potential customers view them. The true vision of what computer resellers do does not come to the mind of the average prospect. 

Architecture, networking, system analysis or data management is not what is in their heads. 

In addition, the expense of IT services is hard for many potential customers to justify. The returns on their IT dollar seem difficult to measure. Computer resellers must be prepared to provide justifiable solutions to their potential customer's current situations.

Integrate Sales and Marketing

Computer resellers should use their sales and marketing materials to impress upon the fact that their services can provide the solutions for the prospect's current situation. Many computer professionals are so engrained with the technicalities of the industry, that they forget or poorly translate that knowledge to the buyer in terms the buyer understands. 

Spend some time to understand computer resellers' services from the buyer's standpoint. All marketing efforts should be geared to target this standpoint.

By learning exactly what IS in the prospect's mind, you will be far ahead of most computer resellers. Too many computer resellers struggle with growing their business. They know they can provide excellent products and services, yet they struggle with growing their customer base. 

Understanding what motivates the potential customer is at the top of the list concerning this problem.

Plan

The first step in developing a strategic sales and marketing plan, should be to clearly define your target market. This should be all inclusive of the level of understanding, needs, concerns, and other data pertaining to the customer. 

By having a clear picture of potential clients, computer resellers and their marketing materials can be better acclimated to peak the buyer's attention and understand how IT can provide solutions for their business.
