There’ll also be a recording of the session available for all ticket holders if you can’t make the session live.

Your business’ growth depends on your ability to sell and get new customers through the door quickly.  But many of us recoil from the thought (let alone action) of selling and networking.

Catalyst – using personal chemistry to convert contacts into contracts was written during lockdown to help businesses get back on their feet and to tackle two problems head on. Firstly, the snobbish prejudice held by many British organisations that selling is a dirty, vulgar activity and that chasing new clients isn’t something reputable companies should have to do. Secondly, to unwrap the layers of jargon and management speak that have wrapped themselves around what is actually a very simple human activity – the thrill of the chase.

Catalyst co-author Louisa Clarke will expose the ‘conspiracy of nonsense’ built up around business development.  She will provide practical advice on how to catalyse relationships – creating connections between human beings that change fortunes – demystifying the science and art of business development.  Her aim is to help people enjoy business development and, by doing so, do it more effectively.  If you need more clients to buy your services and you’re not sure how to find, convince or win them, this is the talk for you.

Tickets

Tickets are priced at £30+VAT for BCI members and £45+VAT for non-members.  The ticket price includes a copy of the book Catalyst – using personal chemistry to convert contacts into contracts’.

The FAST – TV 2.0 format will include a round table where each panelist will have a few minutes to speak about how the internet has changed television forever. They will address the benefits and challenges that the internet brings to content delivery and consumption. Some of the questions to be addressed include: Have the incumbent behemoths like Netflix, Amazon and Disney changed the media landscape forever; is ad-supported linear TV dead or just transforming; has the sheer availability of content and the fragmented delivery made it more difficult for brands to engage with viewers. What is the answer to these challenging questions? Can technology offer a solution?
