PRESENTATION FOR APRIL 2015

We’re really excited to have Claudia Adair speaking at our April meetup!

Claudia is a sales trainer, consultant & performance coach with over 20+ years experience. She is President of Transform & Perform (TAP) and has developed sales professionals and leaders in fast-paced, results-oriented environments across a myriad of small-to medium-sized businesses. She is also a Certified Professional Coach experienced in helping people step towards their desired results. Claudia now focuses on helping solopreneurs get comfortable “selling” — particularly those who “didn’t exactly sign up for sales!” through her effective selling programs.

The topic Claudia will be presenting on is one that all freelancers can benefit from, whether you’re just starting out or an experienced consultant… tips to how to perfect your sales pitch to new clients, getting them to say YES and hire you for the project!

TOPIC: Orchestrating a Sales Consultation That Wins You Business

We will be exploring how to:

- Stay “in control” of the sales conversation without appearing pushy.

- Get your Client’s interest and keep them interested.

- Find out what problem needs solving.

- Communicate that you’re the uniquely qualified person that will solve their problem.

- Comfortably move your Client to the next step.

- Minimize those dreaded objections!

TAP into your Inner Influencer! TAP your GREATNESS!

NETWORKING

Following the expert speaker presentation, we jump right into networking! Connect with other local freelancers, swap business cards, ask questions, get advice, and share stories and experiences. Depending on the number of attendees, we usually start off by breaking the group up into smaller groups so you can get to know a smaller number of people in-depth and discuss in a smaller group setting. Then after about 30 minutes, we open up the networking to ‘open floor’ which means everyone can mingle around the room and chat with anyone they want. This way you get to meet a group of 5-10 people really well, and also have the ability to connect with everyone else in the room by the end of the evening.

SCHEDULE

6:30-7:00pm – Registration and mingling
7:00pm-7:30pm – Presentation
7:30-8:30pm – Networking session

PARKING

There is plenty of parking in the IMPARK parking lot next to the venue. Entrance to the parking lot is accessible off James Street S. as well as off Augusta Street beside The Pheasant Plucker (20 Augusta). It is $4 for the evening.
