Course Overview

Most disappointing results in sales simulation training trace back to an audience defined too broadly. A message about the marketing and commercial practice discipline that tries to reach everyone reaches nobody. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda is rarely technical. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting sales simulation training and under-invest in testing it. It is written for people who have to make this aspect of marketing and commercial practice work with the resources they already have. They leave able to brief senior management on the practice within marketing and commercial practice in terms that support a decision. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in sales simulation training, not around theory headings. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this strand of marketing and commercial practice hard in practice. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this aspect of marketing and commercial practice rather than a set of notes.
