If I could give this course and Matt Evans more than 5 stars, I would. This webinar was extremely informative, the slides match the lecture almost exactly, and you get two bonus handbooks with additional information. Matt's delivery was easy to understand, and you can tell that he is an expert in his field. I will be looking for more webinars by him, and would highly recommend this course!

I was unfamiliar with the Buyer Utility Map framework for analyzing consumer touch points; however, really enjoyed this section within the course. The instructor effectively presented materials in an engaging manner and provided useful supporting materials to reinforce key learnings. Timing of the course was also appropriate.

The detail provided in this course is very good. Our company is small enough that I might not be able to come up with enough data to extensively use some of these tools but some of the more basic ones are worth looking at for any company size.
