This course contains two important for successful company parts: marketing and sales.
 
These are the parts that are linked with each other - it is very difficult to sell without marketing support and it is very difficult to achieve results with marketing efforts only.
 
Marketing part, starting from defining things like developing marketing strategy for the companies, finally offers practical tools of digital marketing. We will explore new digital reality and its impact on IT business. We will learn success stories of real businesses and how companies are adapting to the new changing landscape.
 
The second part of the course covers important things for every company's success – the sales process. Understand how to attract customers in negotiations, how to “get to yes” getting great deals, how to control the sales funnel – you will get the understanding how it works and try it in practice.

=== Recommendations for students on how to succeed in the course ===
  +
The student is recommended the following scheme of preparation for classes:<br>Marketing and sales are much more about hypothesis testing and math, than creativity. Therefore, it is so important for students to try the acquired knowledge in real practice, doing small tasks after each lecture.<br>Finally, we will try to assemble a working strategy for a startup from these tasks.<br>Moreover:<br>Participation is important. Showing up is the key to success in this course.<br>Reading the recommended literature is optional, and will give you a deeper understanding of the material.
