Overview

[Updated 2023]

As the city lights began to dim, Olivia, an ambitious entrepreneur, analysed her sales metrics. Despite offering an innovative product, she couldn't fathom why her business wasn't taking off. One day, amidst her thoughts, she realised that knowing her product was just half the battle. Truly understanding the "Business Purchase" habits of her potential clients and tapping into their "Purchase Psychology" was the key she had overlooked. By sunset, Olivia was no longer just a businesswoman; she became an astute observer of buying behaviours.

Today, in the intricate web of global markets, the path between a product and its potential customer is layered with complexities. Let's uncover some vital statistics highlighting the significance of this subject:

  2. Business Purchases & Decisions: Over 70% of B2B decisions are made even before engaging with a sales representative, underscoring the importance of understanding "Business Purchase" decisions at early stages.
  3. Purchase Psychology: According to market research, 85% of purchasing decisions are made subconsciously, highlighting the need for insights into "Purchase Psychology".

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.
