BMI Special Feature: Professional Development in a Weak Economy

 


Are You Ready to Compete in Today’s Tough New Career Environment for Business Marketing Professionals?

As experienced marketing professionals, product managers, and agency professionals and consultants, we all know that when the economy worsens, sales decline. Rightly or wrongly, the company’s marketing budget is one of the first areas often cut. And when marketing underperforms, the company’s marketing staff is cut as well.

Are You Playing Today’s Game by Yesterday’s Rules?

Today, everything has changed. Yesterday’s unaccountable, business-as-usual approach to marketing is dangerous to your marketing career: Poor execution, irrelevant marketing programs and wasteful expenditures on marketing activities that don’t generate measurable returns, and lack of meaningful, relevant support for your company’s sales team puts your job on the line today.

Build Your Skills, Save Your Job (or, Get a New One)

In a down economy, marketing programs that can’t be linked to measurable contributions to a company’s sales put marketing professionals at risk. In this new environment, company management looks to those responsible for implementing marketing programs that fail to serve sales, or generate measurable response. Marketing must then improve the effectiveness of its marketing program, or face the consequences.

Don’t let yourself be one of these business-to-business marketing professionals caught in the trap of running your marketing plan by yesterday’s rules.

BMI Training and Certification Programs Overview

BMI offers two training and certification programs:

MSA/B/C: Marketing Skills Assessment, Skill-Building and Certification;
CRM-FM: CRM Field Marketing

MSA/B/C is our main marketing skills assessment, training, and certification program that provides the essential training in the skills, principles, and techniques required to successfully execute the broad range of marketing programs required to generate sales leads for small, medium, and large-scale B2B companies.

For more information on the MSA/B/C program, click here . . .

CRM Field Marketing includes much of the core content of the MSA/B/C program, but also incorporates training content that helps marketing professionals integrate their marketing programs with CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems, such as those offered by Salesforce.com, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, and others. The CRM-FM program also includes content addressing lead development programs, online keyword search advertising, and e-mail messaging programs.

Which Program is Right for You?

If your goal is to certify your competence in the basic principles, skills, and techniques required to successfully execute effective, measurable business-to-business marketing programs, the MSA/B/C program is the industry-recognized certification that not only enhances your career profile, but can help you be a better and more effective marketing executive. Whether your current or desired position in marketing is management, marketing communications, or product management, or if you are an agency professional or consultant, MSA/B/C certification from BMI provides adds value to your career, and to the day-to-day knowledge and practice of your marketing profession, on the job, and for every marketing project.

If your company is currently using, or plans to use, a CRM system, or if you want to prepare your marketing career to meet the trend of companies now integrating CRM into their sales and marketing operations, you may wish to consider certifying with the CRM Field Marketing program (CRM-FM). CRM-FM incorporates a substantial amount of the core content of MSA/B/C with a focus on integrating these marketing activities with CRM systems, and adds additional training content relating specifically to marketing measurement using CRM, lead development, and online marketing topics, such as keyword search advertising.

You can also choose to certify with both programs; for pricing discounts available to individual users for certifying with both programs, click here
