Overview

Discover why a wrong marketing approach can ruin your business and how you can avoid it.

The decades-long experience of the marketing professionals with whom we’ve closely worked on this marketing course proved that many promising businesses with valuable products fail because of an inappropriate marketing approach that doesn’t focus primarily on the customer.

You can stay out of trouble and turn your business into a successful one if in your marketing approach you always focus on your customer for real. Your customer is the core of your business.

What’s the use to have the most wonderful product if no one is willing to buy it?

For this reason it’s extremely important to concentrate all your marketing actions on your customers, on their needs, desires and expectations.

In this online course you will discover that marketing is not about how sensational your product is and how many features and functionalities it has. Brilliant marketing is about the benefits that your product brings to your customers, on how it can change your customers’ lives for the better, making them more attractive, healthier, happier, richer or more appreciated.

Enrolling to Marketing Masterclass opens the way to verified knowledge based on years of valuable experience in marketing that will help you build a solid business through an inspired marketing approach that focuses on the benefits that your product can bring to your customers, because:

  • Your customers don’t buy a bed but sleep, rest and relaxation.
  • Your customers don’t buy a vacation but relaxing moments, fun and beautiful memories.
  • Your customers don’t buy furniture but storage space, design and comfort.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
