From how (and where) you present yourself to how you conduct business, from how you communicate to your content on social media, and indeed much more….. You cannot remove your personal “brand” from your professional world, which is especially true in a new, and/or small business like those on the Ad-venture Programme.
So how do you maximise the impact of your personal brand for the advantage of your business brand? This interactive, impactful session will look at how.

Effective Negotiation & Closing Skills – York
Tuesday 25th February 2020, 09:30 – 12:30

Mapping & Maximising Your Customer Journey – Selby
Tuesday 18 February 2020, 09:30 – 12:30
Today’s customers are faced with an ever-increasing number of choices which means their expectations are high. Marketing alone cannot attract the quantity (or quality) of new customers businesses need, nor will it keep customers engaged, happy and loyal to remain. In this lively, interactive and practical workshop you will learn how to create your own customer journey and explore ideas to maximise their customer experience.
Once you understand WHY the customer (experience) is king, we’ll roll up our sleeves and fill the gaps to turn your Customer Journey dial to 11.
Over six stages, from how you raise awareness to building an army of advocates, we’ll show you how to add value to each stage of your Customer Journey so they move from one stage to the next with ease. A workshop guaranteed to change your perspective on marketing forever, giving you the tools to manage your customers’ experience, grow your business, relationships and profit – for the long term.
Covering:
- Customer Experience – why, what and how
- The Customer Journey in six stages
- Mapping out your own Customer Journey
- How to identify opportunities and pain-points en route
- Collating innovative ideas to fill the gaps
- How to add value to each stage to attract, impress, retain and grow
- Marketing systems, templates and collateral ideas for each stage
- Actions to prioritise which stage to address first for easy wins
- How to get your team tuned into the Customer Experience
If you are tired of start-stop, knee jerk marketing campaigns and are looking to grow your business with a more consistent approach, then this workshop is for you. If you are brimming with ideas with how to give your customers the best experience, you just don’t know where to start, then let’s get to work!
This workshop is being delivered by Marianne Smith from Impactus Group.

LEGAL KICK-START: Getting the Foundations Right

LEGAL KICK-START: GETTING THE FOUNDATIONS RIGHT
Thursday 17th September 2020, 09:30 – 15:00pm
Legal requirements can seem daunting when you make that decision to start-up. This is true for many, but, the fact is to operate legally and to protect your business interests, they can’t be avoided.
The good news is, “the legals” are far easier to manage if you understand your obligations sooner rather than later.
If you take the time to understand the basics at the outset, it’s really not as scary as it seems and you can make informed decisions on what the right approach is for you and your business.
Led by legal specialists from Shulmans LLP (a UK top 200 corporate law firm), this free half-day seminar, where lunch will also be provided, will give you an overview of the legal topics that really matter in your start-up journey.
Further content of the session and an itinerary of the day will be released in due course.
