Upcoming Events:
Southern May event at Dell House, Bracknell: Workshop: Improve your Key Bid Messages using supermarket tricks of the trade
Tuesday 29th May 2012, 6pm – 8.30pm
Venue: Dell House, The Boulevard, Cain Road, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12 1LF
Ever gone into the supermarket for something specific and walked out after spending far more than you intended? How were you persuaded to make those decisions? Simon Wellstead, of DRDA Proposals has spent time looking at the techniques that supermarkets use to persuade us to buy. Some are obvious, some hidden... and some are just plain disturbing. This invaluable session was first run at last year's conference and proved so popular that those who didn't manage to attend asked if we could run it again this year.
Scottish May event at Burness LLP in Glasgow: From Bullet Points to Brilliance
Wednesday 30th May 2012, 6pm – 8.30pm
Venue: Burness LLP, 120 Bothwell Street, Glasgow G2 7JL
Presentations are a vital part of pitches, but many of them are terribly ineffective. The audience fails to pay attention and doesn't remember much afterwards. Why? Because the basic psychology is all wrong. The good news, though, is that when you put it right the effect is spectacular.
Susan Moran and Sheona Tait from Aviva share their experience of transforming sales presentations.
