Description

Our business marketing training course is all about giving consideration to consumers’ views in the company strategy. Its purpose is to instill the customer dimension at all levels in the company, and to ensure the customer is satisfied and respected. The goal of marketing is to devise and implement policies, and to adopt good practices that comply with the market. This must all be done inside the complex, living entity that isa company. Each service and department must orient its activity toward creating value for customers. This underlying role of marketing implies relations with each entity. These relations can be more or less beneficial, easy or painful, depending on the circumstances. The purpose of this training course is to allow non-marketers to become familiar with the basics of marketing to help them incorporate this all-important aspect in their daily decisions. This course also sets out to improve relations between the business marketing department and all other departments in the company. Good knowledge of marketing promotes better mutual understanding, improved communication and, as a result, a more fruitful exchange.

After this business marketing training course, you will be able to:
• Define marketing and explain its role and usefulness – and its limits – in the company
• Understand the merit of marketing
• Better converse with the marketing department(s)

The benefits of this course for you and your company:
