pro.manchester members can develop their business development skills as part of a dedicated business development programme.

Business Boost, a series of workshops offering practical tips on skills which will benefit members in their careers, will be launched this summer and demand is expected to be high.

Events manager Sam Booth said: “This series of business development-focused training and networking events will help our members develop their existing abilities and will give them access to some high-profile speakers happy to share their tips on business development.

“In the current climate, it is important people feel confident in their approach when out networking and on business development. These sessions explore everything from leadership to client procurement, ensuring all bases are covered.

“We are dedicated to helping our members by providing them with guidance and advice which can lead to real business results.”

The Business Boost programme begins on June 10, with Richard Ferguson from Sensei UK hosting a discussion on leading through a recession.

Sessions on client procurement, business body language and winning approval from clients will also be held.
