Transforming Markets, Enabling Sales
Many industrial Marketing and Sales Executives in food rely more on their ‘training on the job’ experiences than on their studies. To boost the commercial skills of Marketing and Sales Executives, the B2B food industry often turns to expensive training institutions or develops ‘in house’ training programs.

“An Executive Program on Industrial Marketing & Sales for the food processing industry, coming from 10 years of IFFI masterclasses. Top class!” according to Ruud Peerbooms, chairman IFFI board & VP Food at Corbion.
