OnDemand Course:
Business Acumen for Marketing, Demand Generation & Sales
What is business acumen? Business acumen is the ability to intuitively grasp the performance drivers for someone else's business, and then clearly explain how your product or service will drive their results.
When you have business acumen and when your salespeople have business acumen, greater growth and bigger margins are yours. When you lack in business acumen, competition, commoditization and falling margins are your future.
We put this course together to provide you with a framework to help you understand how businesses work, how to define issues in business, to create a better understanding of what's happening with your business and prospect, and to align your offering and proposition.
