OVERVIEW
The 1st module (June 6) covers the 5Cs of B2B Marketing (Category, Customers, Competitors, Collaborators, and one’s own Company).
- After this module you will be able to apply structure concepts and tools to acquire market information about the 5Cs, which will enable you to develop more effective B2B Marketing Strategies.
The 2nd module (August 8) covers STP (Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning) and how to use these concepts to articulate defensible competitive advantage.
- After this module you will understand the true meaning and power of market segmentation, when to use it, and how to do it well in articulating a competitive advantage.
The 3rd module (September 12) covers developing the integrated Marketing Strategy around the 4Ps (Product, Price Place/distribution and Promotion).
- After this module you will understand the power and relationship of the 4Ps and how they might be adjusted to meet customer segment needs. The most controllable marketing resources available to a firm are the classic 4P’s: Product, Price, Place (distribution), and Promotion (traditional and digital marketing communication). Each of these decisions will be defined and articulated, especially to highlight the way in which target segment customer needs will be met. This will also include a brief introduction to basic marketing metrics to assess customer response to the 4P’s.
