The contents of our two-day seminar will assist you in optimally positioning your company, your product solutions, and yourself with architects and project developers.

👥 Team Leaders
For team leaders, the regular Masterclasses enable structured and reproducible training success, allowing entire teams to participate together or at different times. Our Masterclasses also perfectly complement the internal onboarding of career changers.
What Are the Benefits?
Our declared goal is to maximize learning outcomes in a relaxed and open exchange atmosphere. The limited group size of 12 people allows for goal-oriented discussions with the whole group, as well as addressing individual challenges and questions of the participants.
As a result, you will return to your daily work with many concrete recommendations and practical tips.
Your understanding of the work methods and daily challenges of architects and other important target groups will have improved. This enables you to work together in a targeted but also partnership-based manner at eye level with all project participants, ultimately bringing your products into the tender with a high probability of success.
How Does It Work?
We have laid out a clear red thread through the contents of the Masterclass, providing orientation in our broad range of topics. The contents are structured and build on each other. Yet, we are flexible enough to adjust the specific schedule to the individual questions and knowledge levels of the participants during the remote kickoff a few weeks before the event.
At our in-person meeting, you can expect not only some basic knowledge about architecture and design but also a whole toolkit of practice reports, concrete recommendations, and tips & tricks for successful target group communication in marketing and sales.
We illuminate and outline the most important processes for good cooperation between marketing and sales. We take a close look at the milestones and potential deal breakers when it comes to winning a project. And we speak directly with the target group in a Q&A session. Take a look at the curriculum to see the topics and schedule in detail.
