About this Event

Are you a business local to Gedling or trading in and around Gedling? If so, you're welcome to come along to the energetic Gedling Business Support Network.

Our goal is to help Gedling businesses thrive by offering support services from the Council, East Midlands Chamber, D2N2 Growth Hub, and other partners, along with fostering collaboration among peers.

Following feedback from our previous meetings, we’ll be focusing on sales with a session delivered by expert Lindsey Newman-Wood. Business owners will discover practical sales techniques designed to increase conversion rates and build lasting customer relationships. Learn how to ask the right questions, handle objections with confidence, and close deals effectively without feeling pushy. Packed with actionable tips and practical examples, this session will leave you empowered to sell smarter and grow your business. We’ll also be outlining the benefits of businesses working with schools and young people, delivered by East Midlands Combined County Authority.
