Coffee&Closers

Coffee&Closers

This series was inspired by seeing firsthand the need for sales knowledge in the startup community – brilliant minds who could create anything but did not know how to find clients or sell their services. The goal of this event and these videos is for listeners to authentically receive process design, tools used, and tips on what works to successfully grow revenue and therefore, grow businesses. This series is for entrepreneurs, small businesses, intraprenuers, solopreneurs, nerds, creators, inventors & everyone in between.
