Course Overview

Buyers now complete much of their decision on marketing return on investment before speaking to anyone. Discounting solves a problem in return on investment today and creates a larger one next quarter. The difficulty is not agreeing that this part of marketing and commercial practice matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when marketing return on investment is working and when it is only appearing to. Mature organisations treat the marketing and commercial practice capability as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The level assumes working familiarity with the commercial team but no prior formal training in return on investment. Every module pairs a short input on marketing return on investment with structured practice on the participant's own material. The course sets out a working method for return on investment that participants can apply the week they return. The programme closes with an action plan for this area of marketing and commercial practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
