Marketing Planning and Sales and operation planning
The word count is for 2 assignments (each around 3300). I have uploaded the assignment briefs that contain grade criteria, the desired grade is merit. I need an affordable writer who is honest about his/her work. No ESLs please.
I would also require the writer to be available for discussion on how the paper is being written and I will offer guidance and help if needed. Preferably, we’ll go over each task together once its written.
Assignment Task
Please either conduct the assignment below based on an organisation of your choosing (which must be agreed by the tutor in advance) or on the scenario below – please ensure that you use the recommended reading – particularly the listed ebooks in order to gain a sound understanding of the issues involved before responding to the tasks – this will ensure a better balance of theory to practice ( a common downfall in this particular module is a lack of appropriate theory):
Scenario Green2U are a small UK-based electrical engineering firm who specialise in climate control in the home, selling environmentally friendly, efficient electronic devices to ensure maximum efficiency to the home user. They have a range of devices which, for example, control the heating & lighting of the home remotely & room management systems which control the temperature of each room from a central unit adjustable by the homeowner. They have expert fitters, who are uniquely, both skilled as plumbers & electricians & so can ensure, for example, when fitting new heating & lighting systems that all efficiency measures are taken care of at the same time as installation – a one stop shop. They are unique in this sense & have patents pending on some of the technology they employ. Additionally, no one else in the market offers such a wide range of home-control devices domestically. The firm are now keen to expand into the business market selling their systems & services into public & private sector organisations & are also keen to explore the possibilities of starting to operate their services across the European Union. Taking the role as a small business adviser to this growing small business you are asked to prepare a paper to advise them on how to expand their business from a sales management point of view.
