How to sell without selling your soul

Making sales is absolutely vital for our business. And when you’re a business of one - the salesperson title falls to you whether you like it or not.

Before self-employment, Tom was a new business account manager at digital agencies for nearly 10 years, selling big project work every single day.

Tom will share his experience and thoughts on:

How selling B2B & creative services is completely different to other types of selling, and therefore why most sales advice is wrong.

How to ditch the ick around sales and think differently about your role as a sales person.

How to make more sales, sell bigger projects and keep your soul at the same time.hand lettering, calligraphy and engraving and have a commitment to decarbonisation.

Have a question?

Cowork Crew takes the best bits of coworking and networking and jumbles it together in a once-a-month 1 day event.

It’s all about that magic that happens when you bring freelancers and micro business owners together.

You can expect:

  • Friendly faces
  • Time to work & time to meet new people
  • An awesome speaker or a group session on a shared challenge
  • Cake!

We’re here for the self-employed, whatever title you give yourself!

If you run your own thing, with or without partner(s), you’ll fit right in.

The idea is to get us out of the home office/coffee shop/kitchen table and into a room full of lovely folk who get what it’s like to wear all-the-hats.

Of course! We're a super-welcoming bunch!

The 'why' behind Cowork Crew is to help the self-employed get out of the home office/coffee shop/kitchen table and do better because we have each other.

So the speaker topics and our general content will always be aimed at freelancers, founders and micro business owners.

But we love meeting new faces. And if you work from home and fancy a day's company you are very welcome to join us.

We get it, we work for ourselves for many reasons, including schedule flexibility.

Come for as much of the day as makes sense for you.

You can bring lunch with you, or take the day-out excuse to nip to a local lunch spot.

Make sure you leave some room, as we’ll have cake to pick us all up during that mid-afternoon slump!

The Quad at ONE Station Hill is a stunning workspace with everything needed for a lovely day of coworking. There's lots of desk space, tea & coffee and social spaces. There’s also all the normal stuff, like water and toilets.

You’re welcome to take a call during Cowork Crew day. You can tuck yourself slightly out of the ‘main’ space in the breakout space if you want to avoid sitting around others while chatting.

We don’t have a completely private space available (as in a completely separate room) however, so it’s probably not the best time to run a webinar!

The benefits of spending a day coworking together go well beyond getting work done.

Feel free to chat to anyone who has the vibe they’re up for it.

Or go to a social space to chat more in-depth if you'd like to.

No worries, life/clients/things happen! We offer refunds up to 24 hours before the event starts, no questions asked.

You bought your ticket through Eventbrite. Hop over to your Eventbrite account and request a refund and we'll do the rest.

If it isn't clear how to do this, here's Eventbrite's docs on how to request a refund.

You'll get all of your fee refunded, bar Eventbrite's ticketing fee.
