Are You In The Business To Business MARKET The biggest differences between business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketing are the types of goods and services being marketed and the types of entities the goods and services are being marketed to. Business-to-business marketers promote goods and services that will help other companies run. Some of the things businesses produce for other businesses include equipment, components, raw materials, processing services and supplies. In addition, because business-to-business marketers target only other companies, they have a significantly more targeted market than business-to-consumer marketers. Even when marketing very specific products for a fairly small subset of individuals, the latter type of marketer has a far larger audience than the former. Business-to-business marketing, in many instances, is driven largely by consumer demand. In other words, if there are no consumers to purchase a product, there is no reason for a business to exist in order to make it. If that business doesn’t exist, it will obviously not need the products and services offered by another business. Business-to-business marketing is currently one of the fastest-growing areas of marketing. As technology brings more businesses together, companies are beginning to court each other far more aggressively. And as technology makes the world a smaller place, it becomes more important for marketing and sales professionals to understand and implement the principles of business-to-business marketing.
Caribbean Top 100
Public Companies BARBADOS, GUYANA, JAMAICA AND TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
“Going through the annual reports for companies on the Businessuite Top 100 we are increasingly seeing a trend among Caribbean business leaders. They are focusing their company’s resources on strengthening their home markets as a launch pad for growing their international footprints. They are specifically targeting markets such as the USA, Canada, South and Central America, the United Kingdom and new markets in Western Africa and Continental Europe.”

Top CE0’S
BARBADOS, GUYANA, JAMAICA AND TRINIDAD & TOBAGO “Multinationals with the ability to execute supported by the strength of their capital base, extensive human resources, physical infrastructure and the global strength of their head offices have for many years dominated in the Caribbean. Caribbean Business leaders are now pushing back and competing successfully with these multinationals on their home turf.”

JAMAICA’S Top 10 CEO’S & COMPANIES jAMAICAN STOCK EXCHANGE “The Annual List of CEO’s is about who does what and how well they are doing it, consistently, year after year. To stay on The List, which we continue to highlight, is the true test of excellence and sustained performance. We may envy the hugely attractive salary and fringe benefits, but been a CEO is for the most part a meritocracy fraught with as much pressure as there are perks. These professionals have gotten to where they are today by virtue of insight, sheer knowledge, extensive experience and hard work and therein lies the success stories. These are simply put, people who know their job and do it very well.”

Top 50 WOMEN
IN JAMAICAN BUSINESS
“Globally, while as women we have made some strides as leaders, we still face tremendous challenges. Typically, when people think of a leader, the organizational CEO, what immediately still comes to mind is “he” not “she.” Even with mounting research from respected universities and think tanks that suggest women by nature are equipped to be better leaders than men (if you don’t believe me Google this for yourself), and interestingly enough, the number crunchers report that company profits are higher when a woman is at the helm, females continue to encounter a slippery slope as they work to journey from the backroom to the boardroom.”
