Continuing Education

Ask those you are considering to have handle your marketing what authors they have read and how they specifically apply their readings to the services they provide.

Experience

Studying and applying... this what it takes to excel at marketing. All great marketers have successes and failures. Marketers must learn from their mistakes. The consultant you hire should be a walking marketing text book on applying The Laws of Communication, The Marketing Formula, marketing strategy, tactics, marketing research, analyzing a business’s limitations and potential, competitive analysis, writing ad copy, Internet marketing, design that sells, public relations, media selection, test marketing and sales strategy.

Question those you are considering about their biggest successes and failures in marketing. Then ask what they’ve learned from these experiences. Ask about their experience applying the components of marketing mentioned in the above paragraph.
