So you may be asking yourself — why is having a customized program around business acumen important as you bring it into your organization or your company? Well we would suggest if you're going through and learning how companies make money in theory, that's a lot different than understanding how your company makes money. It's a lot different than understanding your strategy around improving the money making process. It's also important to understand how you stack up against your competition – how you look in the industry. And so as we customize programs for organizations we get really clear on, not just how companies make money generically, but how your company makes money. What's your strategy going forward? What is your historical performance look like? How does that stack up to the competition? How do you compare to your overall industry? And most importantly, what can you do in your role to impact your company's results? And that can only happen if the conversation is really about your organization and how your company makes money. You might think of it as getting an MBA in your own company. #businessacumen #businessstrategy #learninganddevelopment #businessacumentraining #financialacumen #financialstrategy #MBA #customizedprogram #competition #results

A world-class business acumen course now available online.

Before we jump into the impact business acumen has on sales, let’s define it. Business acumen is the keenness and quickness in understanding and dealing with business risks or opportunities in a manner that is likely to result in a good outcome. Put another way, it’s your ability to optimize financial performance by understanding how all of the individual pieces within an organization work together. For sales teams, to achieve your goals it’s essential to realize that a company and partner’s success are connected. So to be the best partner, it’s essential to have a good understanding of not only your own company’s financial drivers but also have a complete understanding of your customers as well. You need to be able to see the opportunities not only from the perspective of your own company but also from the viewpoint of your customers. With this knowledge, you will be better equipped to develop ideas for your customers with a complete understanding of their struggles or pain points, making it more likely that your customer will agree to move forward with your proposal. During our Building Business Acumen for Sales course, we’ll help you to better understand the five business drivers, achieve alignment with key corporate stakeholders, understand how to present ideas to improve investment, and then how to package those ideas and projected financial outcomes into impactful business cases. By actively participating in this course, you’ll become more proficient in identifying, analyzing, creating, and presenting big growth opportunities to your customers. ✅ Learn more about what business acumen training can do for your sales team at https://www.acumenlearning.com/sales-training ✅ Get more information on Acumen Learning https://www.acumenlearning.com/ ✅ Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more business acumen tips and tricks #businessacumen #businessstrategy #salesstrategy #salestraining #learninganddevelopment #sales

Business acumen isn’t just about the financial make-up of companies, it’s about understanding the role you play in your business’s success. Where do you fit into your company’s money-making strategy — and how can you take your career to a higher level by becoming a business leader? Hi, I’m Kevin Cope, and I’ve converted my New York Times bestselling book "Seeing the Big Picture" into an online course accessible to everyone. In this course, you’ll learn the fundamental drivers at the foundation of all companies, and gain skills and vocabulary to not just speak, but think like a CEO. We’ll take you through a two-part course that will first build your foundation with the 5 Business Drivers, and then teach you how to use financial statements so you can discover the trajectory of any company — and receive professional credits on completion. You’ll receive tools and resources you can continually use throughout your career, like the Executive Alignment tool, Quarterly Earnings Call workbook, Action Plan, and more. You’ll also get twelve lessons so you can take your team through a year’s worth of case study activities to expand their business acumen. And finally, you’ll have access to a catalog of earnings call labs where one of our senior financial consultants will teach you how to listen to earnings calls by breaking down Fortune 500 companies’ numbers. Business acumen training is for everyone.
