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. She is the founder of Brilliant Work\, which has been voted the best business coaching agency in the Netherlands by Acquisition International for 2022.

So there is no “one size fits all” solution\, but there is a way for you to be at the helm of your on- and offline marketing activities. \nMore information about the workshops\, speakers and how to register can be found here.

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.

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.

Meanwhile\, your agenda is getting fuller\, you are getting busier and busier and you are working more and more. Sometimes there comes a point when you lose the overview and all kinds of questions come up: when am I going to hire (more) people\, which tasks are you going to delegate and which processes need to be written down and improved? \nGrowing is incredibly fun\, but we know from experience that it also presents challenges…. \nSometimes the company leads you instead of the other way around! \nPerhaps you are already experiencing it or you want to avoid it. Either way\, this workshop will help you grow. Namely\, you will 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 \n How to scale up with people as well as processes \n What kind of support you can get in the process \nThis workshop will be taught by Lizanne Jakobs. Lizanne has 25 years (!) of business experience including 12 years as a business coach and entrepreneur with a strongly grown team. Brilliant Work was also voted the best business coaching agency in the Netherlands by Acquisition International in 2022! \nBy the way\, most of the coaching programs at Brilliant Work are on a subsidized basis for both ZZP-ers and SMEs. Lizanne leads workshops in a very open way and with a touch of humor. During the workshop there is plenty of time and space for questions and interaction. \nThe workshop will be held at StartUp Meierijstad and is completely free.
