Tue, Aug 25, 7:00 AM

From Codelo Time: Open Source

From 5.00pm, we will just socialise and shit-talk. At or around 7.00pm we will have a guest talk for around 30 minutes. This session's talk is from my good friend, Filip Gudov. Filip is a data scientist with 10+ years in the industry. He started in marketing data science before moving to investment management and trading. He's going to talk about optimal budget allocation, what the 'science' means in 'data science' or maybe spooky action at a distance. Not sure. This room is pretty limiting, so get in quick!

The Art of the Deal: A One-Day Sales Workshop in Sydney

Thu, Aug 20, 2:00 PM

From Mangates Global Professional Learning Network

**Overview** "Great salespeople aren't born. They're trained - one day is all it takes to turn hesitation into real results." **The Details** **Duration**: 1 Full Day (8 Hours) **Delivery Mode**: Classroom (In-Person) **Language**: English **Credits**: 8 PDUs / Training Hours **Certification**: Course Completion Certificate **Refreshments**: Lunch, Snacks, and beverages will be provided during the session **Solve These Problems Before Your Next Sales Conversation** **Course Overview:** **Where Deals Actually Fall Apart** Not in the pitch. Not in the follow-up. Usually right at the moment a prospect hesitates and there's no clear next move. That hesitation isn't the end of the conversation, it's a signal most salespeople don't know how to read. This workshop closes that gap. Seven modules, each built around a real sales challenge, each giving you a technique you can use immediately. **At a Glance** **7 modules. 1 day. 1 complete sales process**, covering everything from first contact and lead qualification to objection handling, negotiation, and long-term client retention. No wasted sessions, no filler content just a full framework you can start applying the moment you walk out the door. **Seven Sticking Points, Seven Fixes** * **You don't know how buyers actually think or decide** — Module 1 covers buyer psychology and the structure of the sales cycle. * **You're spending time on leads that never convert** — Module 2 introduces lead qualification frameworks (BANT/CHAMP) to help you prioritize effectively. * **Your pitch doesn't land, or feels generic** — Module 3 focuses on value-based communication and tailoring your message to the buyer. * **Objections stop conversations in their tracks** — Module 4 provides structured objection-handling techniques. * **Negotiations feel unpredictable or one-sided** — Module 5 covers win-win negotiation and closing strategies. * **Clients leave after one purchase** — Module 6 addresses relationship management, upselling, and retention strategies. * **You finish training with ideas but no clear next step** — Module 7 helps you build a personal action plan with measurable targets. **Nothing Here Happens in Isolation** A shaky pitch invites more objections. A poorly qualified lead wastes time you could've spent closing a real one. Fix these in silos, and you're still patching holes one at a time. This workshop connects the fixes, so by day's end, you're not holding a list of tips, but a process where each step sets up the next. **The Method Behind the Fixes** Rather than presenting abstract theory, each module follows a diagnose-then-apply structure: 1. **Identify the problem** — What typically goes wrong, and why 2. **Learn the framework** — A structured, repeatable method to address it 3. **Apply it immediately** — Through role-play, simulation, or case study 4. **Walk away with a tool** — Something usable in your very next sales conversation **What You'll Be Able to Do Differently** By the end of this workshop, you will be able to: * Diagnose where deals typically stall — and why * Qualify leads efficiently instead of chasing every opportunity * Communicate value in a way that resonates with specific buyers * Handle objections using a repeatable framework, not improvisation * Negotiate and close with a clear, structured approach * Convert one-time buyers into long-term clients * Leave with a concrete, personalized action plan **Who Faces These Problems (and Should Attend)?** * Sales professionals losing deals to objections they can't handle * Business development reps struggling to qualify leads efficiently * Account managers who want to move beyond reactive client management * Entrepreneurs handling sales without formal training * Anyone whose current approach to selling is inconsistent or ad hoc **Format** Practical, applied learning: role-plays, negotiation simulations, case studies, and structured group exercises. You'll practice solving the actual problems, not just discuss them. **For Teams Facing the Same Challenges** If your sales team is running into these issues collectively, this workshop is available as a customized in-house session tailored to your industry, team size, and specific pain points. Delivered on-site or virtually, with group pricing available. 📧 Contact us today to schedule a customized in-house session: [corporate@mangates.com](mailto:corporate@mangates.com) **©2026 Mangates Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd. This content is protected by copyright law. Copy or Reproduction without permission is prohibited.** **FAQs** **1\. Do I need prior sales experience to join this workshop?** No, the workshop works for both beginners and experienced professionals looking to sharpen their skills. **2\. Is this only for full\-time sales professionals?** Not at all business development reps, account managers, and entrepreneurs handling their own sales will benefit equally. **3\. Will I learn how to actually qualify leads\, not just theory?** Yes, Module 2 walks you through practical lead qualification frameworks like BANT and CHAMP. **4\. What if I always freeze up when a prospect raises an objection?** Module 4 is built exactly for giving you structured, repeatable techniques for handling objections with confidence. **5\. Does the workshop help with negotiating better deals\, not just closing them?** Yes, Module 5 covers win-win negotiation tactics alongside practical closing strategies. **6\. What if my pitch feels generic and doesn't stand out?** Module 3 focuses specifically on value-based communication and tailoring your message to each buyer. **7\. Is this workshop only about winning the first sale?** No, Module 6 covers relationship management, upselling, and retention, so you can turn one-time buyers into long-term clients. **8\. Will I leave with something I can actually use right away?** Yes, every module follows a diagnose-then-apply structure, so you walk away with a usable tool for your very next sales conversation. **9\. Can this workshop be customized for our sales team specifically?** Yes, group sessions can be tailored to your industry, team size, and specific challenges, delivered on-site or virtually. **10\. What does the day actually involve besides lectures?** Role-plays, negotiation simulations, case studies, and structured group exercises — practical application, not passive listening.

**Excited to have our next EUXSyd kicking off in August with** Snr Product Designer from Nuix, Ermi Mendoza-Isais, speaking on "**Storytelling, Influencing & AI Design."** In this talk, Ermi walks through the three skills she’s discovered has made her standout as a product designer and leader: storytelling that turns data into decisions, influence that moves ideas from Figma (or other no-code tool) to roadmap, and AI fluency that accelerates your craft without ever replacing your judgement. Drawing on real-world experience embedding AI into design practice at scale, you'll come away with practical, actionable ways to sharpen your narrative, build genuine buy-in across teams, and harness AI as a true creative partner. With over 26 years of design experience spanning AI, product, and research, Ermi has driven innovation across fintech, data, retail, and transport, most recently pioneering the integration of AI into design workflows. At Nuix, she championed an AI-first approach — using AI as a genuine design partner to rapidly prototype and validate concepts — while co-leading strategic initiatives, mentoring designers, and partnering across engineering, sales, and marketing to deliver end-to-end product design, research, and branding for SaaS, fintech, and transport products. A regular speaker on design leadership, career growth and AI adoption, Ermi brings a proven track record of leading design transformation and delivering customer-validated outcomes that make a real impact. We are in the process of finalising a venue and will advise you all soon. Networking, drinks and pizzas will start from 6:00 and talk will start at 6:30pm. Look forward to seeing you there!! This event is proudly sponsored by Experience Design "UX" Agency blueegg ([www.blueegg.com.au](www.blueegg.com.au))
