Networking - What do you say when asked “What do you do”? This workshop will show you how to design and deliver an attention-grabbing elevator pitch. It will also give you techniques to overcome those nerves, you’ll find out what to do with all the business cards you collect, and about the most important part of networking which actually takes place after the event.
"I am particularly grateful for Louise's advice and training in respect of successful networking. If you have ever wondered why you never get the referrals you were after, or end up not saying what you really wanted to in your pitch or worse, dry up completely; then this workshop is definitely for you" Nicky Becker, Colour & Image Consultant
Time Management – Help is at hand if you struggle to get through your to-do list every day. I show you how to manage projects, and how to work on the important business building activities, as well as the urgent tasks that interrupt you!
Selling Skills – Most of us don’t like to do this! My system shares how to win more sales comfortably, without pushing, and I can help you feel more confident while you’re getting those orders."Before coming on this workshop I had no time to develop new ideas and procedures because I was overwhelmed by 'fire-fighting' and admin. I learned how to plan my work, insist other respect this and to put aside structured time for developing my business. By making procedures and systems easy for others to follow, it will lead to business development and growth." Helen Newton, First Floor Gallery
Banish Stress and Overwhelm – Sometimes Time Management isn’t enough! Recognise the signs in yourself and learn some simple ways to reduce your stress levels.

Arriving back at work I heard my partner on the phone to a customer arranging a delivery. I got her to mention one of the add-on services we offer and our customer bought the extras! An opportunity we may have missed had I not attended your workshop." Derek Caplan, Dee Cee Uphostery
