SPIN^®Marketing

In many organisations, the Sales and Marketing interface is contentious. It’s not uncommon for the two functions to misunderstand each other and be misaligned. The SPIN^® Marketing workshop helps re-connect the ways Sales and Marketing think about customers, so that they can act in greater harmony.

In this programme, we pay close attention to scenarios from your existing or planned marketing campaigns, whether the bias is more towards traditional brochure and press activity, or heavily dependent on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and other social media.
