Who Should Attend

This program is designed for upper and mid-level sales and marketing managers, and is also beneficial for other managers involved in planning and implementing sales force incentive compensation programs, such as vice presidents of sales and marketing; national sales managers; human resource managers; and directors of sales support, service, and administration.

Many companies find it especially helpful to sponsor a team of participants to the program. Attending as a team produces a shared vocabulary and learning experience that encourages the application of new concepts and ideas to company issues. Special study groups, pricing and other arrangements are available to companies sponsoring teams of four or more participants. Please contact us to learn more.
