Local businesses have the opportunity to receive expert advice
about Sales and Marketing at a series of FREE premier events being
organised by Business Link.
Stephen Smith, Chief Executive of EMB Ltd, the organisation
responsible for delivering local access to the Business Link
service says, "In an uncertain economy, small and medium sized
businesses need greater assistance to provide them with the tools
and techniques that will help them to compete in a tough market.
These events will provide valuable information on how to
promote your business, increase sales and remain competitive."
Four, FREE one day events will be held at separate locations
across the East Midlands between November 2010 and February 2011
under the umbrella title of Fast Track to Successful Sales &
Marketing.
Each event will follow the same format and be opened by
marketing expert Geoff Ramm. Geoff is renowned for enthusing and
inspiring small business entrepreneurs to think creatively to make
them stand out from the competition. He will provide low cost
practical tips that businesses can implement with immediate
effect.
During the day, attendees will be able to take part in workshops
covering selling overseas, creative marketing ideas, making the
most of the media and closing the sale.
Stephen Smith concludes, "The road shows are free of charge and
will enable local business people to pick up tips from a range of
marketing experts.
Attendees will also be able to talk to advisers about specific
initiatives such as training through Leaders First, export help
