No matter how sophisticated your marketing is, if it doesn’t result in attracting customers, then your business is set to fail. The free online course “The Digital Economy: Selling Through Customer Insight” uncovers new perspectives on the role and behaviour of your customers and applies fresh thinking to how marketing and selling activities combine to create customers who keep coming back.
