Access Isn't Enough

Getting in front of someone and getting a yes are two different skills. Most people spend their effort on the first and almost none on the second, then lose the opportunity in the message that follows. This is a working session, not a talk. You bring one real request you have been putting off, to a client, an employer, a partner, a potential sponsor, someone who could open a door. Over the hour you rebuild it, test it against real reactions in the room, and learn what to say to each of the answers you are likely to get back, including the ones that are not a clean yes. The content comes from years on both sides of this: making the approach, and sitting on the receiving end of hundreds of them. You leave with a real request ready to send, not notes. Useful whether you are looking for your first role, trying to open a market, or asking for something inside an organisation you already work in.
