Come and Join Me for a Chat about all Things School Holidays!
There are only 2 weeks to go until Business Mums Network final Weekday Workshop for 2010 and we would love to have you there.
Often during the school holidays, a business mum struggles to keep her business running. During this workshop, we will give you some simple and practical tips to keep your business open and not only survive but thrive during the school holidays.
For this workshop, we’ve put together a panel of speakers including yours truly from The Entrepreneurial Mother and Melissa Khalinsky from Business Mums Network.
While most ideas will be for Mums with school age children, regardless if your kids are younger or older, you will be able to use some of the ideas if you have friends with school aged children looking for something to do!

How do I move my potential client from just being curious to a paying client?
Are you scared? Frightened and not at all confident to have a sales conversation with a prospective client and avoid it at all cost? Do you wonder why you’re not making sales?
As a small business owner you may already -
- have the lead generation system in place
- be building your list of potential clients / customers
- Communicating regularly through an ezine (newsletter)
- Posting valuable content on your blog
and Connecting through social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc)
If you’re doing all this and still struggling to convert prospects into customer, what now? What is the next step? How do I move my potential client from just being curious to a paying client?
Then this is the workshop for you. We are going to explore some easy to implement tips and strategies that will see you change your mindset around the sales conversation, build your confidence and ultimately send your sales results soaring.
