Know the Products and Services

Market research is essential to business success because it affects what a company sells, how it packages those products and services and what promotions are designed to attract new customers.

You must know what is happening in the overall market as well as in the business you’re working with so that you can provide the best customer service to bring in new, “ideal” clients.

You must identify:
