Commercial Communications for Technologists
WORKSHOP
Why this topic matters
This workshop focuses on a challenge faced by many technology-based companies: the conversion of detailed technical knowledge and information into sales and marketing tools that feed the sales funnel and facilitate the sales process.
Attendees will be introduced to an approach to commercial communication in science that has been developed and applied successfully over many years. Topics covered will include the development of targeted, customer-focused communications, as well as the selection of appropriate sales support tools and communication channels.
There will be an opportunity for each attendee to practice applying the principles learned using an example from their own business.
Learn how to
- Convert technical knowledge into tools that feed the sales funnel and facilitate the selling process
- Develop targeted, customer-focused communications
- Select the right tools and channels
There will be the opportunity for each attendee to apply the principles with colleagues on real examples from their company.
This workshop is ideal for mid-to-senior level executives responsible for promoting products, either directly to clients, or via marketing professionals.
