This can include sounds in the background, other people in the room, traffic or machine noise or even other thoughts or distractions that are on the receiver’s mind at the time of the communication.

Feedback – The signals of acknowledgement that are sent back to the sender as an indication that the message has been received and understood.

Communication Communication model (summary)

From the exercise on the previous slide you can see that the simple communication model can have applications to a variety of different marketing communications. In some cases, the encoding and decoding elements are handled by machines to send the message over long distances through the medium.

The mind of the receiver can also be the location of noise where they have:

something else on their mind

prejudices or suspicions about the sender

a variety of other thoughts that relate to the purchase

Communication cont.

Uses of communication model Communication can be verbal and non verbal.

Salespeople are senders of messages. Salespeople encode messages through their sales presentations.

Fields of experience affect the success of communication.

Noise exists during a sales presentation. This requires the sales person to understand that their message will not always be 100% received and understood for the entire duration of the discussion.

The decoding and comprehension skills of the receiver are often unknown to the sales person because of different life experience.
