Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions

Content

The workshop teaches all the necessary skills for the early stages of a project. Starting with the basics of B2B sales, you will learn how to communicate the specifics of your company at the best or service the potential customer. Then you will learn how to properly create a functional specification document and convince the potential customer with a good concept and an attractive offer.
How does a company become a potential customer? Which sales skills are to be considered especially in B2B? What is important in professional communication to a company? What is important to consider in the requirements analysis? How do I define the milestones and goals of the project? How do I turn this into a concrete offer?
These and many other questions will be addressed in the two-day workshop by sales and project managers from Motius. Due to the interdisciplinary focus of Motius on projects in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science and mechanical engineering, we are able to react flexibly to unusual situations. This practical knowledge we pass on to you. Being founders as students ourselves, we are sensitive to the subtleties of communication.
