Hiring Help and Selling On Line – How To Take Your Business to the Next Level - Porter Dodson
 
You’ve got a great product and worked hard to build up an enviable reputation and client base. Now you’re looking to take your business to the next level. You need an extra pair of hands and want to make the most of on-line trading and marketing. 
So what do you need to know about recruiting? How can you make sure your website stays on the right side of the law? And how can you protect your firm’s identity and that of your products or services?
 
In this jargon-free, fast-paced workshop Joanna Clarke and Bridget Dickinson from Porter Dodson Solicitors & Advisors will give you the answers to these questions and highlight some key areas which will help you fulfil your business’ full potential.
 
 
Successful Networking - Rachel Sweet
 
Networking is an essential skill for most business people to get out into the world to create and maintain business relationships. Many people find networking an uncomfortable and nerve racking experience. Introducing yourself to people you have never met before, not knowing how to start the conversation and keep it going or indeed escaping from the person who you have been stuck with since you arrived. Does this sound familiar?
 
Most people understand that networking is an essential skill to help us grow and develop, not only for the businesses we work within but for us as individuals.
 
So what are your expectations?
 
Where and when should you network?
 
What could you say or do?
 
How can you maximise opportunities for you and others and network successfully?
 
The vast majority of Rachel’s customers, all of her suppliers and indeed her circle of friends are all linked to Rachel through networking, either socially or professionally. If it wasn’t for her networking contacts, she wouldn’t be who she is or indeed where she is today!  Whether you run your own business or work for someone else, Rachel will help you to maximize the success of your networking activities.

The 3 Numbers to Watch for the Success of your Business - Kate Dodson

 

This really doesn’t have to be hard and is very important to the success of your business.  It is often ignored as business owners feel less comfortable with it but it can bring great results if you understand the fundamentals and how to set the right targets for your business.

 

This session will show you the most important indicators and help you to see what is going on.  You will learn how to set the vital targets, monitor the results easily with say just 15 minutes per month so that you can make adjustments and drive your business towards the objective you have set.

 

It’s a fun session and you will be keen to look at your own figures and start running your business rather than just turning up and getting on with everyday tasks.

 

Kate Dodson runs her own training and businessconsultancy and has over 25 years experience in the Finance Industry, she is an acclaimed speaker and this session will really help you get results.
