Budget, Track and Monitor Your Marketing Expenditures for the Best ROI

Recorded On: 04/21/2015

As marketing professionals, we enjoy unique opportunities to drive value for our organizations by engaging in all aspects of business performance. But too often, the marketing function is associated solely with the achievement of sales goals instead of with overall operational practices that measure success in our organizations. This webinar provides hands-on tools to help marketing teams in business performance, by introducing and implementing cost-control concepts and measures that help drive profitability.

By better understanding financial implications of each phase of the marketing cycle, from the inception of an opportunity through contract award, we can provide critical leadership to guide sound business decisions and successful proposal processes. During the webinar, we'll learn how to better understand how marketing activity—and behavior—cascade throughout operational performance. Starting with the Go-No-Go process and deploying easy-to-use budgeting and tracking tools, we'll explore how to define the real cost of doing business early on to drive long-term profitability.
