Networking Skills

Sales Skills

Course Aims:

This workshop is for anyone who has to attend conventions, business receptions, fundraisers, working lunches, professional dinners, hospitality functions, and out-of-office client events. It's about understanding what prevents us from approaching such events with ease and enthusiasm, and what we can do to make them comfortable, profitable and fun.

Upon completion of the course delegates will have gained the techniques required to work every room entered, and to reap the benefits - both personal and professional, building up client relations.

Assumed Knowledge:

No previous knowledge is required.
