Charlotte Entrepreneurs & Content Creators Collab Meetup

Do you ever feel awkward and uncomfortable when going to networking events?

Do you ever feel like you have trouble confidently communicating your value when meeting potential clients?

Do you want to generate leads at networking events but are afraid to come across as too transactional?

Do you ever worry about sounding too salesy or too pushy when you speak with prospective clients?

Do you ever feel awkward asking for the sale?

Lu and Dana have dealt with the same challenges – from feeling socially awkward at networking events, hesitating to engage in conversations, feeling nervous, to being worried about sounding too salesy or pushy, or being afraid to ask for the sale. We get you!

Being an entrepreneur is not a smooth road, but it can be a lot smoother.
On our journey, we have found a way that really supported us in networking and selling confidently AND effectively while being authentic to ourselves – and that’s what we want to share with you.

During our event, we will share:

• Techniques and strategies to reduce networking anxiety and engage confidently in networking settings.
• How to articulate your unique strengths and offerings without sounding transactional to communicate your value effectively.
• Practical tips for making authentic connections and creating lasting professional relationships when networking.
• Reasons as to why we often feel uncomfortable selling - whether it’s the fear of approaching people or of sounding too salesy - and how to change it so you can start selling effortlessly.
• The 3 levels of selling and effective sales strategies that feel genuine and non-salesy.
• Personal Insights and Success Stories: Lessons learned from Dana and Lu's experiences, offering real-life applications and encouragement.

We will also engage in interactive discussions and exercises to practice and refine your networking and sales approach, applying proven strategies in a supportive environment.

We will wrap with some breakout rooms to practice your new networking strategies and meet new connections!!!

This event is totally free because we want to see YOU succeed, be able to network and sell confidently, authentically and effectively!

Join us on 6/24 at 6:30 pm EST online!
