For this month's sales-focused Meet-up, we have invited two local entrepreneurs from different sectors who will share their strategies for sales success.
Leon McCowan, founder of Your Business Mobile and Sales Director of The Sales Dojo has over 30 years experience and expertise in transformational sales growth in the mobile telecoms industry helping to recruit, train and develop thousands of telesales, direct sales and indirect sales people. In 2016 he started The Sales Dojo, a community for sales people and sales enthusiasts which helps equip the next generation of business owners, sales people, business development managers with the selling skills required to make their business a success. Leon is passionate about passing on his knowledge to others and in his talk he will be sharing his tips for how entrepreneurs with an amazing idea can sell their concept to others.
Following Leon's talk, Katherine Jones, Director of ThinK Wine Group, a provider of reduced-calorie, low-sugar and vegan wines will be talking about her entrepreneurial journey that stems from her love of wine that is both kind to her waist and the environment. She will also be discussing how she has leveraged both her Influencer Marketing background and the sales distribution channels to build her business.
The session will be followed by pitches from students at King’s Leadership Academy Liverpool who are looking to secure funding for their business ideas as part of the Enterprise Education in Secondary Schools programme that the Brett Centre for Entrepreneurship is running. The pupils are all pitching for a share of £1,000 in funding, ranging from £250 to £100, to help with their start-up venture.
After the presentations and interviews, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and enjoy lots of informal networking with FREE refreshments and food!
