Women in Business - CCD Business Development

Description

Have you ever felt like you're giving a great sales pitch, but the person you're talking to just isn't ready to hear it? At this month's Women in Business CCD meeting, we're joined by Toni Clough for "The Secret for a Better Sales Pitch." But here's the secret: the best pitches don't start with the pitch at all. 

Whether you're introducing your business, sharing an idea, seeking support, or selling a product or service, the way you connect with people before you make your ask can make all the difference. Toni will share practical strategies to build trust, spark interest, and create meaningful conversations that naturally lead into your pitch. Join us for an insightful discussion, valuable networking, and tools you can immediately put to work in your business. You'll leave with fresh ideas, renewed confidence, and a better understanding of how to turn everyday conversations into opportunities.
