Dear Students,

We are thrilled to announce an upcoming event that marks a significant step towards shaping the future of sales education. As part of the CUSTMAS project (https://www.custmas.eu/), we are hosting a two-day event in Athens on Oct 2 and 3, 2024, dedicated to the development of a cutting-edge MSc Program focused on Selling and Sales Management in Digitalized B2B Markets.

Knowledge of a customer's willingness to pay (WTP) at early stages of product development is key to the success of innovations. However, since innovative products do not exist yet, only the hypothetical WTP can be surveyed, inducing a measurement bias. Unfortunately, little is known about the factors that induce this bias and how it differs depending on the method utilized in measuring WTP.

In a fast-paced world where effective negotiation skills are paramount, our students recently had the opportunity to sharpen their abilities through an intensive two-day workshop, hosted by Tobias Frank, National Sales Director at Engelhard Arzneimittel. The workshop aimed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of negotiation dynamics while offering practical experience through case studies.

Over the course of two days, participants embarked on a journey to:

Warum sind Verhandlungen relevant im Alltag und warum sollten Sie keine Angst davor haben? Wie bereitet man sich richtig vor und überlässt nichts dem Zufall?
