Converting Contacts into Contracts

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Using relationship building techniques to create a flow of referrals from your contacts within your network.

It’s not about selling to your contacts, it’s about using them to get to your next prospects.

We all have hundreds of people around us in our network, whether they be clients, suppliers, professional connections, family or friends.

Whilst most of these will like us, fewer will trust us and even fewer will trust us enough to generate business for us.

In this workshop we will cover what’s needed to build relationships to a level that the people we have around us in our network will be confident enough in us to generate business, not directly, but from those they know. This will help you build a true referral network.

If you want to generate more business from your existing contacts, then this workshop is for you.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Entrepreneurs & small businesses who are enrolled on The Big House Programme and looking to develop & grow their business.

Attendance

The Big House events are free to you, because they are funded – however there is a cost attached to them for us and we are a not-for-profit organisation. So, if you have registered to come, your place will have been paid for. Our events are popular and we often have a waiting list. With this in mind, if for any reason you are unable to attend please cancel your event on Eventbrite as soon as possible to enable someone else to take your place.
