The course was very light and very generic in my opinion. Should be targeted at complete beginners instead of being presented as an intermediary level.
Super short and still not worth the time. Definitely not an intermediate course, more of a basic 101 with a general overview.
This course is very mediocre and barely qualifies to be a beginner course. I do not recommend it for professionals or people with even the slightest amount of knowledge or experience in business development and/or sales.
This course is garbage. Nothing substantial, just air. Waste of time.
Very poorly done. Not interactive, quiz questions and structure very lazily made. Learned nothing of real value, just went over ideas and broad concepts I could have learned on YouTube.
Extremely basic course without any idea why it should be marked as an intermediate. If you did any beginner's sales course and/or worked in a sales, the only thought that you will have during the videos is "No s**t, Sherlock"
While there are some good tips, the video lessons need to be much longer. Most were barely a couple minutes, often less. Ideas are introduced very briefly that should have been expanded on in more detail.
This is not an intermediate course and it does not mentioned anywhere that a 49 USD is required to be able to receive a certificate. Wasted my time without knowing this!
A basic level course, all the important issues were only hinted at, a deficiency was left, and Coursera is unable to ‘hint’ at a course that could develop the topic.
not enough information
Very helpful, this course provided a great overview and summary of principles and strategies that can be employed to improve and remain sharp in managing relationships with clients and stakeholders so that you continue to deliver value to customers.
