CXL has helped me tremendously in my journey to become the best digital marketer I can be.

It has opened my eyes to the capabilities of tools like GTM and Google Sheets. You guys have humbled me by teaching me that there’s so much more to learn!

Ap S.

CXL is just the best place to grow for a marketer. I learned more in a few months via CXL than what I learned in 8, 9 months on my own.

This course is essential for you if …

  • You want to not just survive but thrive with managing a remote team of marketers, whether spread out across the globe or country.
  • You’re a VP, Director, or Manager looking for ways to better organize, communicate, and empower your team so that it consistently reaches its goals.
  • You want to increase your influence and responsibility within your company by showing that you can build a high-performing team and deliver results.

This course is NOT for you if…

  • You are brand new to people management. This course expects a certain level of management know-how to begin with.
  • You prefer a very hands-on approach to management. Remote management does not allow for micro-management.
  • You are curious about the benefits of remote work and wondering if it’s right for your team. This course won’t cover the pros and cons of remote working, only how to do remote management well.

Skills you should have before taking this course

The lessons and content in this course are for those that already have baseline management information and skills. This course will build upon a foundational skill set with more advanced topics for those that are currently in management positions.
