Course Overview

Buyers now complete much of their decision on referral programme strategy before speaking to anyone. Discounting solves a problem in the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda today and creates a larger one next quarter. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the marketing and commercial practice capability, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Progress on referral programme strategy is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this area of marketing and commercial practice is working and when it is only appearing to. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the practice within marketing and commercial practice among the areas with the widest performance spread. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in referral programme strategy, not around theory headings. Participants who influence this part of marketing and commercial practice without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants leave with a plan for the marketing and commercial practice discipline sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
