Very often marketing people use marketing language in their objectives. Unfortunately this often does not work very well. It can be hard to measure ‘increasing brand awareness’ and ‘market penetration’.

These things need to be defined clearly. I hope I have managed to do that for you in the examples in my ‘quick start sheet’.

Real Example Objectives for You to Use

Over the years, I’ve gathered together examples from many Sales and Marketing people just like you. I’ve put them into this document – my ‘quick start sheet’.

All you need to do is make any necessary modifications then just copy and paste them into your own objectives. You’ll find the badly written objectives together with what they should really look like and my explanation of how to do it.

Every single example is from a real client – you will recognise many of them. This is THE fastest way to get your objectives written and make sure they are SMART.

Here are just a few examples of the badly written objectives. You’ll probably recognise some of them:

• Optimally resource our portfolio to obtain superior growth from our top strategic products
