Sales Club: The Key To Massive Revenue Success in 2021

With the end of 2020, being slightly turbulent and full of unseen surprises, Sales Club 2021 has been designed to help you get some structure and stability back in to your pipeline and ensure that 2021 is a year full of business growth, profitability and closing those big deals you’ve been dreaming of.

At the beginning of this year East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce and Sales Geek worked together to produce the Lancashire Sales Survey 2021, which has been used to gather information from all participants, looking at the challenges, issues, successes and worries that Covid has produced across Lancashire. This piece of research will form the basis for the areas and topics that are featured in this year’s Sales Club events.

To kick Sales Club off this year Jonathan Finch and Richard Few will deliver an interactive session focused on the following key areas:

• The biggest challenges Lancashire SME’s are facing, with regards to revenue generation in 2021
• How organisations can navigate and plan for huge financial success this year
• The two biggest issues that could cause devastation to your sales pipeline
• How data, apps and efficiencies could be the key to your future success

If you work in sales or business development, or you’re a business owner or sole trader, this event is for you.  Whether you’re a sales director or sales apprentice you will learn something.  And as this next event will be online there is no charge to attend.

The success of the UK’s mass vaccination programme has enabled the UK to outperform the world’s leading economies with some analysts forecasting as much as 7% growth in the second quarter of 2021, but it hasn’t all been smooth sailing with businesses having to come to terms with post Brexit trade, a shortage of high demand metals used in complex manufacturing processes and overall disruption to global supply chains.

Mark Williams will provide an overview of the global macro-economic landscape, highlighting the UK’s economic performance against our global counterparts and review how this is impacting global markets as well as providing an economic outlook.

Non-members from within the industry are welcome to attend.
