Some tried and trusted sayings stand the test of time because they remain true. Others need to be adapted as we evolve.
For years people have become accustomed to the old adage that ‘it’s not what you know, it’s who you know’ and while contacts and networking remain an important part of every business toolkit, there appears to be a shift in thinking – it’s actually pretty important to know what you’re on about as well.
Velocity’s new series of FREE business workshops aim to do just that. We’re not telling any grannies how to suck eggs but we are giving SMEs across the South East Midlands the chance to brush up on their skills and find out the latest techniques and trends that could help give them the edge over their competitors.
So whether it’s a session on smashing your sales targets, bringing you up to speed on all the latest fancy gizmos in web design or learning more about the grants and loans available to help grow your business, there’s bound to be a workshop waiting with your name on it.
Velocity workshops are proving popular with customers
The initial response has been phenomenal, with businesses flooding our Twitter feed with thank you messages after their session. Social media is playing a key role in spreading the message about the workshops, with the hashtag #WhatYouKnow proving a real hit.
Cathy Rhodes tweeted: “Brilliant workshop today – a must attend for all business owners and their teams. Prepare to be challenged.”
Layla Ayris added: “What a great morning @VelocityGrowth thanks for the information and insight.”
The workshops are being held in a variety of locations around the South East Midlands, so you shouldn’t have to travel far to find one that’s perfect for you and your business. Best of all, they’re FREE!
