MARKETING AND BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
The Data Mark, Inc. group
consciously tries to operate under the framework of being associated with a limited amount
of complimentary manufacturers, who are of integrity and are committed to service and
quality. It is our opinion that a manufacturer's representative should not carry a
multitude of lines, whereas limiting his time and the much needed exposure each line needs
if they are to be successful in obtaining new designs and capturing market share. In
retrospect, however, many manufacturer's representatives go the other direction in having
too narrow of a line mix, therefore, becoming vulnerable to customer and market
conditions, as well as being either dominated or too dependent on one of two major revenue
producing lines. We at Data Mark, Inc. feel there should be a dedicated commitment to
professionalism with the intent:
To represent our principals fairly
and sell successfully in our marketplace with competence, integrity, and enthusiasm.
To provide rapid, detailed
communications among our manufacturers, customers, prospects, and us.
To grow in a manner which will
provide broadening field coverage as market conditions dictate for each principal and its
products.
To provide "local
office" services as requested and continuously improve our intrinsic worth to each
principal.
To offer "full cycle"
customer services from sales leads through engineering to purchasing and if necessary, the
collection of debts incurred by Data Mark, Inc. customers.
To perform certain engineering or
marketing studies or functions as requested in addition to normal sales activities.
To forecast, to the best of our
ability, the customers' product needs so as to insure that both our principal and
customers meet or exceed their sales quota and marketing objectives.
To represent high-class compatible
lines which will give marketing insight and enhance each other's strengths.
To expand our business using
distribution as an effective sales tool.
To enhance reputations in the
marketplace--those of our principals and ourselves last, but not least, to hopefully have
a long-term business relationship between our principals and ourselves that is mutually
profitable for both parties.
