446 — Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D Pro


Listen Later

Effective marketers have an uncanny way of knowing what we want and convincing us to click ‘Like’, add to Checkout and in under 20 seconds, buy their thing. Clever.

Meanwhile, over in L&D, we find it more difficult to motivate someone to take action or change their behaviour. So, what does marketing do that we don’t? 

 

In this week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross G is joined by Bianca Baumann and Mike Taylor, authors of Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D Pro: Strategies to Ignite Learning. They discuss: 

  • The intersection of marketing and learning principles 
  • The techniques marketing professionals use to grab attention and nudge action 

  • How L&D can bring these strategies into their work 

 

You can find out more about Bianca and Mike on their website: trainlikeamarketer.com/
