Marketing Plans: How to prepare them, how to use them

If you are a Sales, Marketing or Senior Manager looking to improve your strategic approach to increasing sales and using your budgets effectively, then Marketing Plans: how to prepare them, how to use them gives you a clear framework for competitive advantage. With falling sales, falling prices and falling profits as a result of the recession, organisations are finding it increasingly difficult to allocate their resources to their maximum ability in order to generate revenue. A marketing plan focuses on your customers. Unlike a business plan it will help you to clarify who you should sell to, what you should sell them and why they should buy from you rather than a competitor. In March 2013, this highly practical two day course, led by world-renowned Professors Malcolm McDonald and Hugh Wilson, gives you the chance to work through real-world example plans with your peers, providing you with a clear step-by-step framework for building a world class plan for your own organisation. You will gain: • Enhanced skill and confidence in marketing planning • Better use of customer insight to drive segmentation and planning • More targeted use of precious marketing resources to maximum effect • A common language and toolset for planning.
