I’m proud to announce the launch of the bugle Academy. A new online academy with free courses on the topic of online corporate training, and aimed at professionals working in sales, customer success, marketing, operations, partner management, and human resources.

At bugle, we were sorry to hear about Clayton Chistensen’s passing. He was one of the greatest innovation thinkers in the last decades.

If you work in marketing, you probably often wonder whether you are exploring all your options to maximize your customer acquisition while keeping acquisition costs low.

There is no doubt that selling is a vital part of any organisation: sales bring in revenue and revenue covers expenses, ensures returns on investments and gives businesses the opportunity to grow. Selling is like bridging a gap that exists between what your customers need and the product or service that fulfills that need. Do you think you are doing everything you can to effectively bridge that gap?
