Business and Beer - Presented by Startup Women NC
Old-school networking. New-school thinking. Always on tap.
Business and Beer is your new favorite throwback to when deals were made over drafts and ideas flowed as freely as the pours.
Each session packs 40 minutes of sharp, practical business wisdom- served casual, not corporate. It’s totally free and open to anyone: the business-minded, the business-curious, and the business-adjacent.
Sign-in starts at 6:00. Drop by, grab your pint, get entered to win a free drink, and stay for the fun.
This month's session is "The Real Reason You’re Struggling with Sales and Not Making the Money You Want in Your Business...Hint.....It Has Nothing to Do With Your Strategy!" presented by Melissa Coloton.
Most entrepreneurs don’t have a sales problem; they have a belief and confidence problem. In this interactive session, Melissa Coloton (Certified Life Coach & Sales Expert) will walk you through the exact mental patterns that are massively impacting your confidence, your selling abilities, and your business revenue - and show you how to shift them in real time. Come ready to think differently, participate, and walk away with a tool you’ll use immediately in your business to increase your selling capabilities (and get you to your revenue goals)!
Sign-in starts at 6:00. Drop by, grab your pint, get entered to win a free drink, and stay for the fun.
Pull up a stool, grab a pint, and get smarter... the fun way.
