Selling social change

This webinar will explore developing a sales-driven approach to social change, including: recognising the limits of designing a service or programme primarily for effectiveness and also designing for “spreadability”; going beyond identifying a broad group of potential beneficiaries and focusing first on a subgroup most likely to participate; developing and resourcing a sales and marketing capability from the outset, right alongside budgeting for programme delivery.
