How to improve your career with a Master in Marketing and Sales

Masters

Successful businesses need to sell their products. To achieve this, they need to build brand awareness and market themselves efficiently.

They need Marketing and Sales professionals who know all about the latest and most up-to-date tools and techniques for building brand awareness and engaging customers. The Executive Master in Marketing and Sales (EMMS) from the SDA Bocconi School of Management, in partnership with Esade Business School, covers every aspect of marketing and sales, providing its students with in-depth knowledge that can be applied both locally and internationally.

Why is marketing so important to sales?

Marketing and sales are inextricably linked. Customers cannot buy a business’s products if they don’t know that those products exist. A successful marketing campaign should aim to build brand and product awareness. It should create customer need for a product or brand and turn that need into sales by fully engaging those potential customers. But it doesn’t end there. Once a customer base has been established, long-term relationships with those customers must be nurtured and maintained by keeping them interested and engaged.

In recent years the world of marketing and sales has changed dramatically with the advent of the internet. Nowadays, an online presence is essential, allowing even the smallest, most localised business to potentially have a global reach. Successful Sales and Marketing executives will need to have the skills and knowledge to work in this fast-paced and ever-changing environment. And this is exactly why having an EMMS degree from the SDA Bocconi School of Management can open up new career doors.
