Responding to your needs with marketing classes

Date added: 21 January 2009

In November 2008, Sandwell MBC carried out a survey to find out what kind of support local companies need the most. You can see the results here.

Perhaps not surprisingly in the current economic climate, 71 per cent of respondents rated ‘marketing my business’ as an area where they need help. Close behind, with 70 per cent, was ‘increasing my sales’.

Sandwell MBC has listened to these responses and, as a result of the survey, planned a series of sales and marketing masterclasses to take place in March.

A business opportunity to deliver the masterclasses was posted on finditinsandwell, and Rowley Regis-based Sammy Rose Management Services was chosen.

Sammy Rose runs one of the top-performing marketing agencies in the West Midlands, which focuses on giving SMEs practical, cost-effective solutions. She works extensively with Business Link to develop and deliver relevant local business programmes, and is also a member of the steering group for the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s Small Business Group.
We’re delighted to tell you that the following masterclasses are now scheduled for March. Please follow the links to find out more:
