Date: Tuesday, 9 June
Time: 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The way large-scale business purchases are made has changed. Company structure, corporate governance, the Internet and numerous other factors have led to the rise of decision-maker ecosystems‚ networks of individuals whose opinions shape the eventual purchase decision. These ecosystems play a major role in the success of every sales force, thus marketers need to consider communication strategies that include them.

What you’ll learn:

  • How and why purchase decision making has changed
  • Types of influencers who make up most decision-maker ecosystems
  • How different influencers impact decision-makers
