Tech Events at DeskLodge House, Bristol

with Tom Bright (Founder, Bright Evolve)

A hands-on, competitive sales workshop for founders and early-stage teams — the second instalment of the 'Hack Your Sales' challenge from for the FOUNDERS. Rather than sitting through traditional sales training, you work in small teams on real sales tasks for your own business, scoring points for action, creativity and results as you build genuine pipeline. Expect three hours of live selling, teamwork and practical techniques you can use with customers immediately, finishing with the crowning of the Sales Challenge Champions. Led by Tom Bright, Founder of Bright Evolve. Free for for-the-FOUNDERS Core and Inner Circle members — check the Eventbrite listing for non-member availability. Held at DeskLodge House in Bristol's Redcliffe district.
