Course Description:

For those that have completed the B2B Marketing Strategy Development Workshop, this is as a one-on-one follow up with the instructor, structured as two 2-hour video conference consultation sessions.

The focus will be to review an individual company’s templates completed from the first B2B Marketing Strategy Development workshop and then give feedback with the purpose of flushing out further the development of the marketing strategy. The participant will need to choose one product/business line to focus on.   As a prerequisite to doing these one-on-one sessions, the participant will have completed as many of the templates listed below as possible and practical before scheduling the meetings with the instructor.  The instructor and the participant will review the completed templates together, and the instructor will challenge/ask more questions to make sure the answers truly addressed the questions.  This will give the advantage of an outside peer review vetting the process before socializing documents within your company.

A majority of the following templates should be completed prior to scheduling the one-on-one meetings with the instructor.  Then they will be reviewed, discussed and evaluated in the live discussions.
