Programme Overview

Marketing fuels organisational growth by strategically creating (product), capturing (price), communicating (promotion), and delivering (place) value to consumers, businesses, and society. In today’s landscape, channel design and partner collaboration are critical—well-structured marketing channels drive competitive advantage and stakeholder value.

Selling is universal. As Prof. Craig Wortmann states, “Nothing happens until something gets sold.” Whether influencing customers, pitching ideas, or negotiating decisions, selling underpins professional success. Modern sales has evolved from transactional to relational, aggressive to consultative—yet remains the core revenue driver.

The sales force operates at the intersection of shifting customer demands, competition, and digital transformation. Post-pandemic, digital selling and performance optimisation have intensified, making sales roles uniquely challenging. Sales managers must now navigate dynamic environments while maximising team productivity.

This programme equips professionals with cutting-edge strategies in marketing channel management, consultative selling, and digital sales leadership—ensuring readiness for tomorrow’s marketplace.
