SKILLS
Course on the Art of Marketing &
How to Promote & Sell Your Products
Covers Many Areas Such as
Understanding Customers,
Marketing Strategy,
Marketing Mix,
Segmentation &
Promotions etc.
TRAINING
COURSE
DESCRIPTIONGlobalisation has led to a mature
market which is flooded with prod-
ucts of all types produced in various
corners of this planet. The availability of
a sheer number of products means that
customers have many choices. Customers
never had it so good. Now they can explore a
variety of competing products, consider buying
them from a variety of retailers and distributors,
online or offline.
All this means that those who want to sell in this increas-
ingly crowded market must follow strategies that allow
them to stand out from their competition. Employing simple
sales techniques doesn’t cut it anymore. Successful sellers
must now design their products in line with customer’s current
and future needs as well as market trends and competition. Prod-
uct design and marketing now go hand in hand to make sure that
products are produced for the right market and in a way that will benefit
their targeted customers.
In this course, delegates will be introduced to the entire process of marketing
and see how each area can benefit their organisation. These areas are systemati-
cally explored and exercises are provided so that delegates can apply these tech-
niques to specific scenarios or to their own organisation. Delegates will learn about
customer’s decision making process, how to segment markets, how to target custom-
ers and how to define a marketing mix to target those segments. Many areas such as
pricing strategies and various methods of promoting products are explored as well.
The course contains various optional exercises that can be used to easily extend the course
to 1.5 days or more. The aim of this course is to familiarise delegates with what is involved in
marketing using mainly qualitative methods and increase their awareness about various critical
areas. This course can be particularly useful for those who are mainly involved in product design or
management whose increased knowledge of marketing can help them to produce better products.
The course provides many opportunities to delegates to explore marketing methods used by their own
organisations and critically evaluate them with the help of other delegates and the trainer. If delegates are
from various organisations, this can provide a great opportunity to borrow marketing ideas from other indus-
tries which historically has been a great source of marketing innovation

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND MARKET-
ING SKILLS TRAINING COURSE
Marketing covers many areas and this course is designed
to cover a variety of topics. This is in particular useful for
people who have little exposure to marketing and its signifi-
cance in promoting the products and services of an organisation.
For example, engineers, support personal, sales staff and sometimes
even managers may not be involved in day-to-day marketing or have
any say in the strategies made in a company. However, knowledge of
marketing can significantly help them to understand the complexity and
also the power it has over the success of a product.
Product designers should always consider marketing and selling products in line
with technical requirements. Unfortunately many product designers are focused
entirely on what they can produce and what technology can provide rather than focus-
ing on what customers need and how they want to use the products
CHOICES, DECISIONS, WHERE, WHEN, WHAT, WHICH BRAND,...
The course comes with numerous carefully-design exercises aimed at making delegates think and
question their current approaches. Many opportunities are provided for constructive discussions and
brainstorming so delegates work on abstract problems as well their own marketing strategies. This allows
them to immediately apply the techniques they learn in the course to their own organisation and question
their marketing approaches. In our experience, this helps participants to get more from the course as they are
constantly thinking on how to come up with new marketing ideas and in the process pay more attention to critical
guidelines.
