Up Your Sales Game!!!

The Sales industry can be a lonely place, full of pressure, targets with little time for self-development. For many sales professionals in East Lancashire, it’s hard to know sometimes where to go to find support and education.

Chamber Sales Professionals Club in partnership with Sales Geek is the new home for sales professionals. We aren’t about PowerPoints, lectures and we sometimes wear trainers. We want to provide a home within Lancashire where sales professionals from all backgrounds, experience levels and industries can learn from each other and find their own route to sales success.

This is not your standard networking event, so while commercial relationships will naturally evolve, please don’t come armed to sell to the room. We want attendees to be able to create business allies, meet peers, learn from each other’s experiences and create long lasting relationships.

About the Hosts

We will have on hand two sales geeks, with over 35 years’ combined experience in sales strategy, direct sales, sales training, sales recruitment, B2B Sales, B2C Sales and business planning to assist you on your journey, as well as special guests on a regular basis.

This session we’re delighted to welcome guest speaker Andrew Henderson Founder and MD at Forward Thinking who will be doing as a session on goal setting and getting clear focus.

The worst thing an employer can do is bury its head in the sand when it comes to dealing with Right to Work checks. Home Office regulations apply to EVERYONE – even local people who have lived in the UK all their lives.

Employers have faced civil penalties for failing to conduct these checks; the maximum civil penalty for each individual who does not have the right to work in the UK is a very sobering £20,000. It is therefore crucial that employers and HR staff are equipped with the knowledge, skills and support required to ensure their organisation remains compliant.
