Success through referral marketing

VIM plus presents renowned sales expert Dirk Kreuter

Düsseldorf, April 14, 2009



Systematic persuasion - sales expert Dirk Kreuter demonstrates an unusual form of marketing in the seminar organized by VIM plus. Under the title "Convincing through witnesses", he will give tips on winning new customers through referral marketing.



Word of mouth has always been the driving force in business. When buying a car, for example, 70% of buyers listen to their friends and not to advertising (Cap Gemini Ernst & Young). Moreover, referral marketing costs nothing, is easy to use and takes very little time. The systematic use of this marketing channel can increase new customer acquisition by more than one hundred percent. It has been proven that referral marketing is one of the most powerful marketing tools in B-to-B.

In this 2-day seminar, Dirk Kreuter demonstrates how companies can integrate referral management into their corporate culture and use it strategically for acquisition. The seminar is aimed at marketing and sales managers, sales staff in the office and in the field, freelancers, the self-employed and anyone looking for new, successful methods for acquiring new customers.

"Convincing through witnesses - professional recommendation management

in B2B":

May 13/14 in Düsseldorf

Seminar fee: 1075,- Euro plus VAT
