Time - Registration 11.00am for a prompt 11.15am start

Presenter - Louise Mosley from NB Coaching

Topic - How To Sell The Way People Want To Buy

Synopsis:

We have all encountered pushy sales people and cold calling which leaves us feeling irritated and disengaged. On the flip side we also have trusted suppliers and individuals where the conversation flows, the experience is positive and we continue to do business with them time and time again. So what is it about these contrasting interactions that leads to such different outcomes?

We all like to be communicated with in different ways. Once you understand your style & can recognise others' styles, this promotes better relationships, more productive conversations and improves business.

Content:

During this interactive seminar we will start to uncover:

* Your own preferred communication style
* How to quickly identify and align with how your customers like to buy
* How to build rapport & trust with prospects to win new business

Presenter - Ben Griffiths, Clever IT

Topic - How Savvy SME's Can Use IT To Enhance Their Business

Tech is the future - having a good IT strategy can help you attract the best millennial talent, improve productivity and exceed customer expectations.

Knowing the best IT options for you is tricky for SMEâs but can also be crucial to get ahead of the competition.

Keep up or get left behind. Like it or not, we live in a society which is becoming increasingly digital and reforms such as Making Tax Digital remind us that, for any industry, itâs a case of either keeping up with the times (and technological advances) or being left behind.

The real value of IT - for small businesses IT can be very expensive but investing in the right solution doesnât need to cost the earth and done well your IT can help deliver substantial value, protecting your data, improving flexibility and productivity.

Fitting into the bigger picture - IT is a crucial, over-arching link which connects all business areas together and gets them working in harmony. Investing in IT is sometimes overlooked as a way to improve growth and profit.

A tech strategy which works for your business model - the traditional office is becoming a set-up of the past, with remote workers playing an increasingly prominent role in many SMEâs. IT can work for your business to provide flexible working for employees and less restrictions.

Cybercrime - those businesses who invest in the right tech can protect themselves against cybercrime, a growing threat to businesses, particularly SMEs.

Ben Griffiths, a well-respected entrepreneur from Bolton, shows how he takes a clever approach; combining commercial acumen and IT know-how to deliver highly effective IT solutions for SMEâs.

Ben has been working with businesses across the North West for over 15 years, using his insight and expertise to provide IT solutions which align with the commercial strategy and growth plans of a business.

In 2001, whilst training for the triathlon world championships she was hit by a car and paralysed. 11 months after discharge she became the first (and only) person to both run the London Marathon and push the event.

He later appeared in the BBC's Ultimate Hell Week, where he persevered to the penultimate episode of the series, proving that age need no barrier to physical achievement.

CONTENT

This is a story of two very different people facing very different challenges finding their lives converging through a charity. Paula and Paul will tell their personal stories. Whilst not a traditional business presentation this seminar will inspire and help you "right size" the day to day challenges that you face in your personal and professional lives. They will challenge your perception of what is âpossibleâ and how with a simple change in mental attitude and the way that you approach a problem, you can achieve more than you would ever imagine possible.
