Shortly after I joined the conference sales team here at the University of Leeds; Lisa and I attended a course for two days of sales and marketing training. The training was very useful for my new role and I even got to bond with my new colleague over a glass of wine or two in the evening.

Back at the office we sat down with our manager and filled her in on our new found knowledge and expertise. After talking branding, target markets and question funneling our unanimous conclusion was: the most important thing at MEETinLEEDS is the added value we can offer our customers.
