and skills that will help you reach them
Realistic – a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work to.

important. Here you must decide what team members will be
responsible for each aspect of your strategy and when they will be
implemented.
Spend some time testing different systems, processes and tools your
team can use to help plan, manage and analyze your marketing
techniques.
Play on people’s strengths – from your SWOT you will be able to
identify internal capabilities for handling your strategy and
techniques. If necessary, you may need to outsource or set up
working relationships with agencies.
