[Workshop] Reclaiming Sales: Grow in a way that fits you

Forget “closing deals.” This is about connection with intention.

Queer founders, creatives, and community builders do incredible work, yet often struggle to share it confidently. We’ve been told that selling means convincing, performing, or competing. It doesn’t.

Sales, when reclaimed in a way that fits you, can be a force for connection and positive impact.

In this 3-hour, hands-on workshop, we’ll reimagine sales as a tool for visibility and self-advocacy. Not profit for profit's sake. Together, we’ll dive into creative ways that help your work reach the right people without compromising your values. We'll explore how to:

•⁠ ⁠Communicate your value without confidence

•⁠ ⁠Have direction and focus in the growing of your business

•⁠ ⁠Reach the right people at the right time, with the right message

•⁠ ⁠Build ways to find new clients that support you instead of draining you

•⁠ ⁠Use creative ways or offers in a way that aligns with your energy

•⁠ ⁠Turn visibility into connection and impact

You'll walk away with a concrete and personalized step towards growth that actually feels good. One that fits you, reflects your values, and helps you move forward with purpose.

Snacks and drinks will be provided.
