Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

Most businesses market tactically without a coherent strategy behind their spending, which means wasted budget and inconsistent results. This course closes that gap by teaching you how to segment markets, own a defensible position, build a funnel that converts, and price and distribute for maximum margin. Every framework is illustrated with worked examples drawn from consumer goods, services, and B2B contexts so you can apply the thinking immediately to your own market.
