Services in the Business-to-Business Market
Two distinct groups:

1. Products supported by services
• The wide range of service elements that accompany the physical product are frequently as important as the technical solutions offered by the product itself. 2. Pure services • Those that are marketed in their own right without necessarily being associated with a physical product.

Professional Service Firms Marketing Programs
1. Pre-establish a relationship with a client.

2. Advance its reputation as a leader in the field.

3. Strengthen its relationships with existing clients.

Services are Different
?Deeds ?Processes ?Performances ?Services are intangibile

A useful tool. The continuum suggest that there are very few pure products or pure services.

Service Recovery
1. Encompasses the procedures, policies, and processes that a firm uses to resolve customer service problems promptly and effectively. 2. Service providers who satisfactorily resolve service failures often see that their customer’s level of perceived service quality rises.

Segmentation
First, service segments are often narrower. Second, service segmentation focuses on what they business buyers expect as opposed to what they need. Third, segmenting service markets helps the firm to adjust service capacity more effectively.
