Course Goals

The goal of the course is to provide you with the latest insights into digital sales strategies and show you how to leverage sustainability not just as an ethical responsibility but as a strategic advantage to attract customers and build long-lasting business relationships.

  • Digital innovations also increase the expectations of your consumers and the complexity of sales. Learn how to master this complexity and create a real competitive advantage through the effective use of digital sales tools.
  • Artificial intelligence, especially generative AI, offers a lot of potential for sales – learn to recognise this potential and implement it effectively.
  • Find out how sustainability can be used profitably in sales and which regulations need to be observed.
