Wednesday Business Club Open Networking Meeting 26 February 2025
Steve Vaughan from George James Ltd
Don't be afraid of being your own salesperson
Anyone that runs or owns a business will know the importance of achieving regular sales for smooth cashflow and to make business plans.
Whilst the focus is often rightly on lead generation, converting these leads into customers is also vital. In this session Steve Vaughan will explain why selling isn’t about clever words, fancy closing and aggressive tactics, but instead is a process that anyone can follow, to help customers make the right decisions for their needs and business, and to grow ones own business.
Steve is a professional sales trainer with over 30 years in both B2B and B2C sales.
