Advanced B2B product launch training…

Tired of underwhelming product launches? Your teams can learn the most advanced B2B product launch methods anywhere… pioneered by The AIM Institute. It’s easy to preview our product launch training, because the open version of our product launch workshop is identical to our in-house version.

You can choose either workshop or online training. An AIM trainer can come to your office for a 1-day product launch workshop. Learners then receive post-workshop help on real launches… during coached web-conferences & self-paced online learning modules. Or use just online product launch training modules and AIM web-conference coaching to train global teams.
