Struggling with sales in your small business? Join us for this interactive session where we’ll explore how you can improve your sales prospecting and win new customers. You’ll also learn 12 ways to sell to the modern buyer.

This event is part of our Small Business Night School series where we are offering 8 sessions to help support you with your business.

These sessions have been chosen based upon feedback from our members and are all facilitated by experts in their field. Each one will have a workshop format with numbers capped at 25 to allow lots of opportunities to ask questions and discuss real life examples. Our aim is you should leave these sessions with some practical advice and a clear understanding of the way forward which is appropriate to you. You are welcome to attend all 8, or to simply pick those most relevant to your business. Each sessionwill be held in October and repeated in November to enable you to select the date convenient for you. See details here.

Event details - Finding and Converting Leads

For any growing business the ability to create leads and convert sales is not optional, it’s absolutely critical for your success.   

Yet there are far too many businesses missing out on sales opportunities and struggling to create consistent sales leads because they lack the knowledge, capability and/or resource to succeed.   

Sound familiar?    

If you’re a business owner, a sales manager or a salesperson in this position and you’re feeling out of your depth, you’re not converting enough business, you or your team are not hitting sales targets, and as a result you’re lacking confidence in your sales ability, then this is the seminar for you. 

Kristy Davies-Sumpter has over 30 years of experience in sales, working for a variety of brands and achieving an outstanding track record of leading sales teams all over the world.
