Why is it easy to speak the language of your external customers, but when you speak to your CFO and CEO, you don't even think of using their lingo? This 90-minute online seminar will teach you how to monetize your conversation with the CFO and CEO so that you can prove your case, win and expand your budgets, and deliver real business impact.

Two in-depth case studies will be presented. First, a major brewer optimizes their marketing spend at the local level, and, as a result, gets approval from the CFO for increased marketing spend. Second, a beverage provider finds out that their marketing was working but their channel partnership was broken. They were able to show the CEO how to renegotiate their contracts so that they could regain profitability and a win-win for themselves and their channel partner.
