What do all the world’s greatest startups have in common? They’re great at sales. Whether you’re a small firm selling a product or a food expert selling your services if you don’t sell enough you won’t last a year.

But how do you build a sales strategy to make sure you start generating income from the day you launch? Then how do you build on this to keep those sales growing? These are questions that will be answered by the fantastic speakers at this meetup. We’ll also be proving to you that sales isn’t a dirty word you should avoid, in fact it’s one you need to embrace as it’s all about communication and truly understanding your customer.

We’re thrilled to have the speakers below joining us to share their tips.
