Is Marketing Training Beneficial To Businesses
Marketing Training does it provide any golden nuggets
Is Marketing Training a good use of time?
An observation on marketing training
- Over the past couple of years I have noticed a significant increase in the number of FREE 'marketing related' training events that are available.
- A continued de valuing perception within companies in relation to marketing activities
- Non professional / Non expert delivery relating to critical marketing issues
- People using marketing training events as a mechanism to sell specific marketing products – Social Media Services / Graphic Design / Branding / Advertising – print, radio and web etc
- In summary events purporting to offer marketing training but in fact just providing a platform to sell
- These marketing Training events are possibly not a good use of time
What Constitutes Useful Marketing Training
Having been involved in marketing for over 20 years and been fortunate to watch some truly great marketing professionals deliver some great marketing training. Marketing professionals such as Professor Malcolm Mcdonald, Nigel Piercey, Robert Craven, Bob Hogg, Joe Polish, Richard Groom, Mike Koenigs, Howie Jacobson, Paul Fifiled you leave an event
- With practical nuggets of wisdom that you can apply immediately
- With knowledge born out of sound research or thorough implementation within industry
- With questions in your mind as to how you can apply this 'marketing' wisdom
- Remembering that you don't know , what you don't know
- That business is developing rapidly and you need to be constantly learning and adapting to keep pace
What to look out for from marketing training
- Is it being delivered by practical knowledgeable CIM qualified people
- Does it provide the opportunity for a formal CIM marketing qualification (whether its introductory certificate, professional certificate, or professional diploma)
- Will it provide you with a good return on investment (either cost or time)
- Will you leave with a series of nuggets / actions that you can apply into your business
- Will it challenge your perceptions, thoughts and overcome the dont know challenges
