How to work with your customers online?

In November 2019 IFFI organized a masterclass ‘E-commerce in B2B Food’. Commercial managers were introduced to digital technologies and online sales and marketing practices. Now, almost one year later, we must rely heavily on our online sales, marketing and innovation capabilities. For those who like to further develop these digital skills, this masterclass will be very helpful to collect and connect with prospects, deliver online contributions to customers and convert innovative business. How do producers of food ingredients, operating in international B2B food environments, become online successful?

IFFI facilitates this two-day masterclass for managers and professionals in sales, marketing and innovation who wish to exchange their experiences regarding meeting potential customers and working with existing customers online. The participants will be introduced to different aspects/ topics of the digital selling & innovation process such as Online Selling, Remote Coaching and Online Innovation. Digital specialists and industry experts will share insights and best cases. But, more important, they will train you on site.

With more than 700 million users, 40% of whom use it daily, LinkedIn is the largest professional network in the world. If you look a little further, you will see that there are 90 million senior professionals on LinkedIn who have a direct influence on important purchasing decisions. In addition, 63 million key decision makers and more than 10 million C-level executives are present on LinkedIn. All in all, a very interesting platform.

But, how do you find your key influencer or decision maker on LinkedIn, how do you connect with him or her, and how do you subsequently capitalize on that relationship? You will receive the answer to these questions on Thursday 15 October. Perry van Beek will guide you step-by-step, in a live online workshop, through an effective acquisition process via LinkedIn.
