Our commercial awareness courses are delivered by our friendly and highly experienced trainers. We live and breathe what we talk about in these sessions as we use most of the tools and techniques ourselves on a daily bases and bring this real-world experience into the session and the examples that we use.
Commercial awareness is both a set of tools and a mindset that helps you to think more commercially about your business. It helps understand what will make your business successful and how to harness these things to grow and become a more profitable business.
No. It’s just as important that employees are more commercially aware as the business owner. If the team understands the cost of doing business and what makes money and what doesn’t, they will have the mindset to push for growth.
We do look at negotiation skills in the course, but the course is not a business contracts course. It will help you to get better deals and prices – but not at formalising these things into a contract.
