Yet fulfilling that role as a leader well\, is crucial to the success of your business\, to your happiness at work and that of your employees. Sometimes it’s also something that investors take into account when deciding to put more money into your business. \nWhether you have issues with your team\, or everything is fine in that area\, this workshop will be well spent as good staff are harder to find and keep. Together with Lizanne Jakobs\, we will work on crafting our knowledge and skills on: \n✅ Your role as a leader \n✅ The difference between managing and leading \n✅ What to do when there is friction \n✅ How do you keep people on track and motivated in the short and long term \nTrainer Lizanne Jakobs: \nLizanne Jakobs is an award winning business coach and speaker and an entrepreneur herself.

For example\, a customer to buy something\, a supermarket to include your product in its assortment\, an investor to put money into your business or an employee to do something. Sometimes this goes very easily\, but what if it doesn’t? How do you deal with that resistance and what can you do about it? In this workshop you will learn what you can do about it in an authentic\, honest way that simultaneously produces results. So that you stay close to yourself and with respect for the other person\, but still get out much more often what you started the conversation for. \nDuring the workshop\, you’ll also be served a delicious lunch. And there will be plenty of time for all your questions! \nThe workshop is hosted by Lizanne Jakobs. She is the founder of Brilliant Work\, drs in Business Communication and accredited DiSC trainer.

DESCRIPTION:Ideally\, you would do some advertising for your company\, have a sales call with your customer\, and voila: they sign a contract with you. Unfortunately\, it often works differently in practice: the sales process – also often described as your sales funnel (sales funnel) – is not straightforward. And often customers also drop out along the way. If you don’t see that coming or don’t know what to do about it\, it’s hugely frustrating. Plus a waste of your time! \nThat’s why at the workshop “From potential customer to real customer: How to plug the leak in your sales funnel?” by Lizanne Jakobs\, you’ll learn to see: \n What are the steps in the sales funnel \n How to better guide customers through this \n and what the pitfalls are in each step \nMoreover\, you will learn what you can do to ensure that you have the maximum chance of success in guiding as many clients as possible through the funnel to a positive result. Because there are differences per sector or type of customer\, there is also enough room in the workshop for variation and questions therein. \nAfter this workshop\, you are going to get more results with less effort and frustration. Therefore\, register now! \nAttending the workshop is completely free\, for everyone. So also for (starting) entrepreneurs who are not affiliated with StartUp Nijmegen.

More customers\, more sales or more impact with your services and products. Yet the more employees or staff you add\, the easier it does not automatically become. Often the business leads you instead of the other way around\, or you encounter different challenges and surprises that you had at the beginning. Maybe you are already experiencing it\, or maybe you want to avoid it. Either way\, this workshop from Brilliant Work is for you. You’re going to learn: \n✅ What aspects in your business you need to keep in balance\n✅ How to choose your priorities\n✅ What tools you need as an entrepreneur to do this\n✅ How to scale up with people as well as processes\n✅ What kind of support you can get to do this \nThis workshop will be taught by Lizanne Jakobs. Lizanne has 25 years of business experience including 12 as a business coach and entrepreneur with a strongly grown team.

Together with Lizanne Jakobs\, we will work on crafting our knowledge and skills on: \n✅ Your role as a leader \n✅ The difference between managing and leading \n✅ What to do when there is friction \n✅ How do you keep people on track and motivated in the short and long term \n  URL:https://brilliantwork.nl/en/evenement/free-workshop-how-to-get-more-out-of-your-team/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://brilliantwork.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/V9E-B8m0-scaled-PYB3J0.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=CEST:20230703T103000 DTEND;TZID=CEST:20230703T120000 DTSTAMP:20260417T020424 CREATED:20250508T120547Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250508T120547Z UID:4954-1688380200-1688385600@brilliantwork.nl SUMMARY:Free webinar “Exporting for ZZP and SME entrepreneurs” DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, you’ll learn how to take your first or better steps across the border! \nDo you offer a good product or service as a company and want to start expanding your horizons?
