About the workshop
Run by 12boxes Ltd, a London-based training and coaching company and kindly sponsored by CityVentures, this interactive workshop will enable you to create and take away a concise and effective formula for explaining to clients, customers, investors and professional advisers how your business delivers value.
You will also be introduced to a framework for holding conversations that enable clients and customers to grasp the value of your business solution before you need to explain what it is, thereby raising their interest in your proposition and encouraging them to implement it collaboratively.
The workshop will be followed by self-funded networking drinks.
Remote option (Zoom – registration required): Alumni who are interested in the event but unable to attend in person will be able to take part remotely via Zoom. Connection details will be provided by email 24 hours before the event.
