Sales Management

Successfully navigating in the age of digital sales strategies and customer-centric innovations

At a time when customer needs and behavior are changing rapidly, sales is facing new challenges. The advancing development of technology offers many opportunities to better reach and understand customers; however, this requires a clever adaptation of sales strategies. This is where the "Sales Management" certificate course comes in. It teaches up-to-date skills for long-term success in companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large corporations, and covers aspects such as identifying new customer needs, developing innovative sales channels and evaluating and integrating technologies in the sales area. The digital transformation of sales, including the targeted use of artificial intelligence (AI), is of particular importance. Successful sales increasingly requires the skillful use of digital tools and AI in order to accelerate sales processes, manage complexity, and be recognized as trustworthy and understanding by the customer. As a result, the approach of the course moves away from "classic" sales management towards digitalized business platform management, in which the customer journey serves as a model for managing relationships and loyalty across the entire business network.
