5 -day MBA The Sales & Marketing Management

Overview:

Introduction:

The purpose of this course is to enable you to systematically adopt, employ, and execute proven marketing strategies that will help you to build enduring and powerful brands. It will provide an overview of the marketing process with a suite of tools, models, and theories and will then move on to the practical application and execution of the tools & techniques required for a winning marketing strategy. How are Prada able to sell handbags to women for many hundreds of dollars when any visit to the market will get a bag for carrying your possession for only a few dollars (indeed, most supermarkets will give you a plastic bag for free!). How is Ferrari able to command prices of hundreds of thousands of dollars for their cars when a few hundred dollars will buy a car that will successfully take you from A to B? The answer? Marketing.

The Sales Manager of today is a business person, a negotiator, a coach, a counselor, a friend, a leader, a Key Account manager, a support resource, and, from time to time, still an enforcer. The role is now multi-faceted, complex, and changing all the while. The Sales Manager of today needs great flexibility and a wide range of cubs in the bag.
