The authors show how to use marketing dashboards to view market dynamics from multiple perspectives, maximize accuracy, and “triangulate” to optimal solutions. You’ll discover high-value metrics for virtually every facet of marketing: promotional strategy, advertising, and distribution; customer perceptions; market share; competitors’ power; margins and pricing; products and portfolios; customer profitability; sales forces, channels, and more.
For each metric, the authors present real-world pros, cons, and tradeoffs – and help you understand what the numbers really mean. Last but not least, they show you how to build comprehensive models to support planning – and to optimize every marketing decision you make.
