Our second season of Growth Lab events is here.
Sales are the very heartbeat of any business. After all, without sales there would be no business. So why is ‘sales’ such a dirty word to many? And how do you move away from lucky one-off wins to longstanding relationships with impact and integrity?
Join a panel of successful local businesses who aren’t shy about talking sales and how creating pipelines and closing deals has powered their growth. In this relaxed and interactive session, they’ll share refreshingly honest experiences of their own business journey to help you on yours.
There’s a chance to network and meet others who can support your growth with information and opportunities. Refreshments included.
