About Julie

I’ve been in sales, marketing, and new business all my career … which is a long time 😊Working for global brands such as Bacardi-Martini and marketing agencies across all disciplines. My last employed role was as New Business Director for Flock a Global transformation consultancy.  My experience has always been in building new client relationships and drive revenue, so I decided to set up Join up the Dots – Consultancy in 2020. Helping marketing agencies join up their marketing and new business to attract and win the right new clients. My most effective tool in delivering new clients and growth for my clients is the telephone.

This year at SXSW, the world’s largest knowledge-sharing festival, we were struck by the feeling that we’re now on the cusp of what previously felt like a faraway future.

This led to a very different atmosphere. There’s always plenty of hype and hysteria, but this year the threats and opportunities felt less abstract than ever, taking us to more immediate possibilities of both harm and hope.

Come join TMW Unlimited and BIMA on 1st May 2024 to hear our analysis of what this all means – for human creativity and connection, the planet, and much more.

The event is free, breakfast will be provided. Book below!

What is the number one reason businesses close within the first 3 years amongst other elements? Poor cashflow?

Yes, how did you guess that? And that is exactly what this is about.

Let me introduce you to how to go for an Afternoon Tea the Yarka K. way

Business Strategy day with a focus on Money Management

– Clearing off debt
– Pay yourself more each quarter
– Create habits to stay accountable long run

I have an opportunity to run a workshop there for up to 15 business owners to help them grow their businesses and the cash mindset and management system to support them on the way.

What is the workshop about?

Planning this event started with wanting to go out for an afternoon tea. If you know me at all you’ll know I LOVE CREAM TEA/AFTERNOON TEA. I then found the venue to do it in and if you haven’t been to De Vere yet – it’s impressive, magical, an absolutely stunning place. The big ideas we all have should not settle for anything less than De Vere.

Does even talking about money sound fun for you? Do you find it easy to talk about money?

No? Well, this day is going to change that and it will shake the ground you’re currently standing on
