Abstract
An attempt is made to identify those areas of marketing activity in the services sector that deserve to be given priority attention. A number of marketing areas are identified and assessed on their scope for improvement, the ease with which they can be changed and also on the sensitivity of the performance of the organisation to an improvement in the area. The perspective is that of senior marketing managers in the services sector. The managers picked out “pricing policy” as one factor deserving to be given the highest priority. Improvements here are possible and, in addition, will show up in better company performance. Three other factors were also thought to deserve priority attention: customer interface, marketing department influence and new product development strategy. The marketing managers considered that these too would produce better company performance if improved, although somewhat more difficult to change. Overall the managers indicated the importance they attach to those of their activities that affect the quality of the customers′ interaction with the company and its employees.
