24 September 2026 — 09:30:00 to 13:00:00
Venue: Civic Hall, Calverley St, Leeds, LS1 1UR
Sales is ultimately about clarity and connection, and nothing creates that faster than a well-told story. This hands-on session helps founders use simple storytelling techniques to explain what they do, why it matters and how they help, in a way people remember.
This is storytelling for non-storytellers, simple, practical and perfect for sales conversations, networking, websites and pitches.
