A sales and marketing expert and author is running a seminar designed to inspire and boost the confidence of local businesses managers.

Jackie Jarvis of Wallingford-based Marketingco and author of the book ‘85 Inspiring Ways to Market your Small Business’ teaches a new approach to sales that does not involve cold calling or being pushy.

She said: “If you hate cold calling or pushy sales people you may not feel comfortable so as a result not sell your products and services as well as you could.

"I will help you to see how you can actually sell well using your natural skills and by being more of who you really are."

The event takes place on June 26 at the Shillingford Bridge Hotel Wallingford OX10 8LZ, from 9am-1pm. Tickets cost £85 plus VAT and include a copy of the book.
