During this time he has recruited\, trained and developed 1000’s of telesales\, direct sales and indirect sales people.\n \n In 2011 when the company he was working for over exposed itself and was faced with liquidation Leon purchased the assets of the business and negotiated the novation of the contracts and was able to restructure and then build on the business which still operates now 10 years later.\n \nLeon unearthed a love and skill for sales and selling at the age of 14\, which he has nurtured and has been involved in ever since. In 2016 he started The Sales Dojo\, a community for sales people and sales enthusiasts and he likes nothing better than helping the next generation of business owners\, sales people\, business development managers (and everyone in-between) to sell more and earn more and find their own version of success URL:https://www.thewomensorganisation.org.uk/event/how-to-maximise-sales-opportunities-2/ CATEGORIES:Business Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.thewomensorganisation.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/8296_image.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220504T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220504T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T194346 CREATED:20220331T120243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220331T120243Z UID:8293-1651662000-1651665600@www.thewomensorganisation.org.uk SUMMARY:Customer Discovery DESCRIPTION:Understanding who your customer is vital to ensuring your business operates as efficiently and profitably as possible!\n\n\nUnderstanding who your customer is vital to ensuring your business operates as efficiently and profitably as possible\, but with customer behaviour being so fluid – especially just now – remaining valuable to customers’ needs to be a regular focus. \nJoin the NatWest Business Builder Team as we explore the different ways you can focus on the problem you solve for your customer\, ensuring that what you’re investing precious time and resource into is going to keep them coming back\, as you adapt with them. \nWe’ll talk about the why’s\, the where’s and the how’s of Customer Discovery so that you come away with a solid understanding of what your next steps and techniques will be to continue to serve your customers. \nThis course is open to Women in the Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester\, and booking is essential. \nEligibility: \nThis programme is open to WOMEN & MEN living in the Liverpool City Region (Liverpool\, Sefton\, Knowsley\, Wirral\, St Helens\, or Halton). \nAs this project is funded by the European Social Fund\, you will need to provide evidence of your right to work in the UK and fill in a registration form.
