About this event
October is when the autumn sets in – so we’re looking at our businesses!
Richard Pascoe will kick off evening for us. Richard’s been running a successful speaking and training business, based in Leeds, for years (and years!).
In this lighthearted workshop he’s going to explore with us the things we wish we’d known five years ago (or more!) about running a business, when often we are the business. We’ll come away with a set of tools and ideas about how to take our businesses forward and what to do to next. Light hearted but not lightweight!The spotlight slot is the North East’s own JP! Yes the man has two names and we don’t use either of them!
After the break, it’s Lawrence Laidlow with “How to convert a hot prospect”.
