efforts. You'll find out how to use CRM to extract valuable information,

implement a CRM system and how to use it to enhance customer
loyalty.

Selling Successfully Across Cultures (10 credits)
They may be your clients, your colleagues or your suppliers, but they
grew up in a different culture. In the global village in which we live,
your ability to deal with people from different cultural backgrounds has
become a clear-cut asset and highly sought-after skill. In this 90-
minute seminar you'll explore the subtle, fascinating and often
surprising values, behaviors and practices that loom large in any

of them, will give you an edge in your multicultural workplace.

memorable moments and experiences of your choice - both in
Copenhagen and beyond. Just pick and choose between royalty,
castles, modern architecture, world class gastronomy, art and
shopping. And all of this in a safe country where almost everybody
speaks your language. Copenhagen is the ideal, smooth, green and
exciting place to start and end your cruise - The perfect gateway to
