Business Relationship
Management Professional Training (BRMP)

The old saying “it’s not what you know, it is who you know” that is important, is not quite true.  It all comes down to who knows you.  Good reputations, both corporate and personal, are essential in business, particularly in an age where comparison websites are busy reducing even the proudest brands to the status of commodities, successful relationships between an enterprise and its customers, have never been more essential.

In an age where everything can be instantly compared and contrasted in just seconds, the Business Relationship is the most crucial asset an Enterprise has.  The future growth and prosperity of any Enterprise is entirely dependent on its Business Relationships, with supplier, with partners and, most important of all, with customers.

This will help attendees improve every aspect of their Business Relationships, from first meeting to ongoing mature management.  This is a very comprehensive and full workshop that embraces multiple aspects of the business relationship.

This intensive 5-day Anderson course will take you through a proven methodology, in line with the tenets of the Business Relationship Management Professional (BRMP) training and will equip your Business Relationship Management professionals with all the tools, knowledge and skills they need to successfully Manage your Business Relationships.
