Robert Devall, Sr. Account Manager, Epsilon (Spain)
“This comprehensive course provides me with abundant knowledge and practical perspective to get my foot in the exciting and complex loyalty space. I look forward to applying what I’ve learnt in my daily work.”
Jiani Zhang, CRM Lead, Whirlpool (Belgium)
“The course was incredibly insightful on how to build a solid, strategic, data-driven loyalty program and I’m looking forward to testing a few new ideas with our customers!”
Sara Arecco, Head of Customer Success, Antavo (Holland)
“During the CLMP training this year, you presented the ROI model, which I found to be one of the more exciting parts of the overall material. We recently worked on a tender to acquire a new customer for i360 – a retail chain running 150 stores across the country supported by a robust e-commerce model. We spent more than 100 hours developing the ROI model you showed, primarily supplementing it with detailed parameters that needed to be considered while planning project finance. On top of that, we extrapolated the results for the following years and created detailed management dashboards of the implications of the costs incurred on EBITDA, depreciation, cash requirements, etc.
As a result of this work, I have just signed a >1 mil USD contract with a new client. They conveyed that a significant factor in their decision to choose i360 was the professional development of ROI analytics. The above would not have been possible had it not been for your training.”
Tomasz Makaruk, CEO, i360 (Poland)
“Absolutely thrilled today to join The Loyalty Academy group of Certified Loyalty Marketing Professionals™. I’ve completed my course, learned loads of great new insight, done the exam and the business case and am now proud to count myself as one of this brilliant group of 500+ loyalty professionals spread across the globe.
