Voice of Business Briefing with The Beermat Entrepreneur Michael Southon

The Beermat Entrepreneur Michael Southon will be the key speaker at this event.

Michael is author of The Beermat Entrepreneur series of books as well as a columnist on the Financial Times and a successful Business Mentor.

He is a Visiting Fellow in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at London South Bank University and has made frequent appearances on television and radio.

During his presentation he will be:

• sharing the secrets of sales success to attract more customers and increase sales per person
• helping people to be more creative and entrepreneurial in both small and large organisations
• helping people to be more effective at sales, especially non-salespeople

Above all, Mike explains that business should be fun. Everyone should enjoy their work, and feel they have a real sense of purpose.

Other speakers on the programme include:

1. FSB Auto Enrolment Pension Scheme explaining the new Pensions Legislation which requries every business with one or more employee to launch a Pension Scheme with up to eight per cent contributions - the FSB has a low cost solution for YOUR business
2. FSB Tax and Legal Services will explain how HMRC is targeting small businesses to help boost Government income and how they can minimise YOUR risk of a hefty bill for extra tax
3. FSB Card Processing Services will explain the new deal they are offering to reduce the cost of processing credit and debit cards including how to transfer from your existing processing provider.

To break the ice and network with your colleagues on the evening, please come with a small item or prop to illustrate your product or service. 

Something that symbolises the thing that is most valuable to your business success. 

Come along and be prepared to openly and informally talk about it to as many people as possible - it’s not so much a business pitch but an introduction to what real-life entrepreneurs do!
