What you can expect from Market Research Certified
"The course made me realize that, even though 'Discover' is the first step in the PMM framework, we tend to forget about it and focus on everything else. Going through the rich materials and insights this course provided had me rethinking priorities and has put the research back where it belongs, to the foundation of our PMM work."
