What is the ISO 20000 for Regional Sales Leaders course about?

Regional sales leaders in global IT services often face delayed deal velocity because service delivery standards are clarified too late, after procurement has already shortlisted vendors based on cost. Without a structured, standardized framework like ISO 20000 embedded early, teams default to reactive justifications rather than proactive positioning. This leads to margin erosion and lost premium opportunities.
