PHILIP KOTLER : GOING WORLD CLASS Marketeer Philip Kotler : GOING WORLD CLASS WOM: Can break you or build you By M.KRISHNAMOORTHY Father of Modern Marketing, Dr Philip Kotler said: “Word of Mouth (WOM) will either make you or break you”. For instance if a product is really good and then customers will talk positively about it. This in turn will translate into higher sales and more profitability. On June 1, 2011, he reiterated WOM and its importance at a one day seminar in Kuala Lumpur, attended by CEOs, GMs and marketing executives, organized by the Institute of Marketing Malaysia and its partners. Speaking on the “Future of Marketing: Going World Class” Kotler added that if the feedback is negative on any product or service, then the sales will dip, in spite of whatever great branding or advertising done. Kotler’s Marketing 3.0 also goes beyond “messaging” customer to encompass how a company defines and embodies its values for a variety of stakeholders. Philip Kotler sharing his strategies on Marketing 3.0 and how local He discussed how brands have companies can successfully enter the global market and make the world a an impact on issues such as better place for customers. poverty, socio-cultural, change and environmental sustainability. “Values driven marketing affects “Youth is important because of their employees, channel partners potential and skills that they can attain. and shareholders.
