Manufacturing Network: Sales

Sell with Confidence: Win Attention, Close Deals and Unlock New Markets

This engaging and practical workshop is designed to help manufacturing businesses build confidence in selling, improve their sales techniques and discover new opportunities for growth.

The session will begin with the Business Growth Hub exploring the importance of making a strong first impression through a 30-second attention grabber. Attendees will have the opportunity to develop and practise their own pitch before presenting it to the room, helping them communicate their business offering clearly, confidently and effectively.

Keynote speaker Steve McSherry will share insights into technical selling and closing deals, providing practical advice to help businesses turn conversations into customers. Following a networking coffee break, the Business Growth Hub will explore different approaches to selling, how to choose the right method for your business, and the importance of balancing your brand's voice with your own personal approach.

The session will also feature a real-life case study from Stiff Tea, demonstrating how developing telephone sales has helped the business access a new market segment, including vegan food shops. This example will highlight how exploring new sales channels can diversify customer bases, reduce business risk, and support long-term growth.

Whether you're looking to sharpen your sales skills, reach new customers or explore fresh ways to grow your business, this workshop will provide practical ideas, inspiration and techniques you can put into action straight away.
