Course Overview

Buyers now complete much of their decision on distribution partner training before speaking to anyone. A message about the marketing and commercial practice discipline that tries to reach everyone reaches nobody. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this aspect of marketing and commercial practice, not around theory headings. It is written for people who have to make distribution partner training work with the resources they already have. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this part of marketing and commercial practice and under-invest in testing it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this strand of marketing and commercial practice is working and when it is only appearing to. Every module pairs a short input on distribution partner training with structured practice on the participant's own material. Organisations that document the marketing and commercial practice discipline properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants leave with a plan for the marketing and commercial practice capability sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
