Course Overview

Discounting solves a problem in customer base segmentation today and creates a larger one next quarter. Most disappointing results in the marketing and commercial practice discipline trace back to an audience defined too broadly. They leave able to brief senior management on this aspect of marketing and commercial practice in terms that support a decision. Progress on customer base segmentation is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda outperform teams that only plan it. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this part of marketing and commercial practice and the judgement to adapt it. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a go-to-market plan for customer base segmentation as they go. The content is relevant to those who own the practice within marketing and commercial practice and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this strand of marketing and commercial practice rather than a set of notes.
