Distribution Strategy & Key Account Management
Managing and enhancing distributor and customer relationships are key activities for any sales or marketing department; if misunderstandings occur in either, the whole business process will be negatively affected.
This bespoke training programme focuses on providing a solid understanding of how to manage crucial customer and distributer relationships. The programme also looks at building knowledge on internal and external networks as well as understanding a range of measures used to assess the success of reaching target audiences.
