First, your team will think differently about business growth. The team will have a new shared understanding and language about business growth.

Second, you will have new practical tools for planning growth.

You will be able to pragmatically plan the financial and human resources needed for business growth. You will most likely decide to change the organisational structure, roles and responsibilities, and key metrics.

You will be able to plan SaaS product finances, market strategy, and set marketing objectives. You will know what marketing and sales technologies you need (and don’t) and will be able to reorganize marketing and sales collaboration.

Perhaps you will decide to change your target market and your business will take an unexpected but very productive direction.

In 2023, the iPro company participated in the "Principles of Business Growth and Demand Creation" training. At first, two executives participated in the training, but after the training, we decided to extend the training to a broader team to create a shared understanding of business growth and modern marketing processes in the company. The trainings were very valuable, as they made it possible to renew and systematise knowledge of modern marketing and sales processes and arrive at a shared understanding and common language in marketing and sales issues. The acquired knowledge allowed for much better internal discussion and planning of the necessary change processes in the company.

We have been operating in the Latvian market for almost 30 years and are one of the leading companies. We are currently planning growth in international markets, so the training “Principles of Technology Business Growth and Demand Generation” was very useful for our management team. The training allowed us to create a shared understanding of the processes, investments and technologies necessary for business growth. After the training, our team can plan the promotion of new offers in international markets much more purposefully.
