Founder Workshop: "Jumpstarting Sales for Startups"
Each quarter, Venture Mechanics offers a rotating series of Founder Workshops on specific topics that every startup team needs to master. These are typically 2-3 hour evening sessions given by the best of our mentors. While the workshops are intended to be taken sequentially they can be taken out of order.
Companies in the Venture Mechanics Catapult Accelerator are entitled to an unlimited free buffet of these workshops during their term. The workshops are also open to startups that aren't in the incubator, at the regular tuition price.
More About This Workshop
The workshop will be delivered in an engaging fireside chat format. This will enable the two presenters to interact with each other and the audience as they share their presentation. The session will combine both the theory and practical aspects of the sales process with plenty of real-world case studies discussed. Attendees will also learn how to create and execute an effective go-to-market (GTM) strategy.
