Quick answer

Growth is capped by the weakest of the seven Ps, not the average of them. This diagnostic scores product, price, place, promotion, people, process and physical evidence on anchored 1–5 scales, then the AI report identifies the binding constraint and orders the fixes — so you stop pouring budget into promotion when pricing, distribution or onboarding is what actually limits revenue.

💡

About this template

Most marketing plans are promotion plans: seven lines of spend, no line of price, channel or delivery capacity. The 7P diagnostic forces the whole mix onto one scored page. Each P gets an anchored rating — what a 2 looks like versus a 4 — plus a confidence marker, so a hopeful answer is visible rather than invisible. The AI report deliberately refuses to publish a single blended score; instead it ranks the Ps, flags the constraint that most limits revenue, and lists the two or three moves that raise the floor, with what usually breaks when you fix them in the wrong order.

Use it at agency onboarding before proposing a channel plan, at annual planning when the budget conversation starts from last year's spreadsheet, or in a turnaround where results fell despite higher spend. If your question is instead "is our team capable enough to execute", score that with the Marketing Maturity Quiz — capability and mix are different failures.

Sample Questions Inside

A preview of real questions — the full version adds scoring and a personalized report per respondent.

  1. Product: does the offer solve a problem the buyer can name, and is one variant clearly the default? (1–5)
  2. Price: is pricing validated against willingness to pay, or matched to competitors? (1–5)
  3. Place: can buyers transact through their preferred channel without a sales call? (1–5)
  4. Promotion: is each channel tied to a stage and a cost-per-acquisition target? (1–5)
  5. People: does the team selling and supporting the offer understand the positioning? (1–5)
  6. Process: how many steps from first touch to paid, and where do buyers stall? (1–5)
  7. Physical evidence: what proves quality before purchase — reviews, data, demos, guarantees? (1–5)
  8. Which P would you bet is limiting revenue right now, and how sure are you? (open + confidence)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 7P marketing mix diagnostic?
An audit that scores the seven controllable elements of go-to-market — product, price, place (distribution), promotion, people, process and physical evidence — on anchored 1–5 scales. Since growth is constrained by the weakest P rather than the average, the report highlights the binding constraint.
Why not just average the seven scores?
A 4.0 average built from five strong Ps and one failing P hides the problem. Doubling promotion spend against a broken pricing page or an understaffed onboarding process converts the weakness into a larger loss; this diagnostic ranks the floor, not the ceiling.
How is this different from a marketing maturity assessment?
Maturity grades capability — can the team plan, test and measure. The mix grades the offer and its route to market — is it priced, distributed and presented correctly. A mature team can still be pushing the wrong mix, which is why agencies often run both.
Who should complete it?
One owner per P where possible — the pricing owner scores pricing, the channel owner scores place. If a single founder answers everything, use the confidence marker per line so the report can flag where answers are assumed.
Does it work for service businesses and B2B?
Yes. The extended 7P set exists for services, where people, process and physical evidence carry much of the buying decision. B2B teams usually add distribution-partner coverage under Place.
Is it free?
Yes. One click copies the form, scoring and report configuration into your FormLM workspace at no cost.
