approach with proper steps so that competitive advantages can be brought in the process. The
steps have to get aligned with the organisational objectives and harness close relation with the
clients. Therefore, the marketing steps are very essential for the success of the organisation and
ensure sustainability into the future business practices of Intel.
Step one is coupled with setting an overreaching vision. It is expected from Intel to

marketing initiative connecting the interests of the customers and the organisational profitability.
From the research of Zahra and Noruzi (2018) it can be stated that any kind of failure in the
process of establishing a strong organisational vision so that it will support the organisational
practice to a great extent.Tobeyet al. (2016) pointed out that organisational vision fosters a
sustainable development for the business organisations in the competitive market. Therefore, for
Intel, it is important to set its business vision at first in response to attract the customers
positively.
The second step is resembled with define the market and the buyers persona so that the
organisation will get proper understanding of the target customers so that it will bring efficacy
into the organisational success. Hollensen and Opresnik (2019) pointed out that define market is
considered to be the most crucial part in business because the respective company will identify
the specific target audience from wider and more general audience. In the B2B business practice,
negotiations and business deal with partner companies is very important and the respective
company must understand the requirement of the negotiating company and compare it with its
own abilities and resources (Kaleci and Tepe 2017). Therefore, companies like Intel must keep in

track of the customer persona and define market properly so that it will facilitate high
opportunity for Intel to encapsulate the market properly.
The next step is associated with the identifying the tactics and channels that will bring
efficacy into the business to business marketing practice. From the research of Zehner and

However, put value on the asset is also identified as a major practice that the organisation will
take in response to develop the brand value and image to a great extent (Dietrich 2017). From
this point of view, creating asset and run campaigns are considered to be the most important
aspects for a successful marketing of Intel.
Outline of research measures
For evaluating and understanding the importance of the customer opinion and behaviour,
it is essential for the organisation to put emphasis on identifying the target customers. It is
pertinent for the business companies like Intel to facilitate a critical analysis of the customers.
Therefore, survey of the customers is highly required for Intel to get enough understanding of the

6Business development

can be stated that survey in business requires close ended questionnaires where the respondents
have to respond as per the questions. Therefore, Intel will also conduct a survey on the client
companies and generate data that are helping to understand the expectations of the customers and
their specifications as well. The survey will also guide Intel to take adequate measure in order to
design and set effective strategic measures in order to influence the client companies effectively.
