Hertsmere Works networking breakfast - £12.50+VAT

Hertsmere Works, in conjunction with Hertsmere Borough Council, would like to invite you to join us for our December networking event, on Wednesday 3rd December 2025 , at Sky Studios, Rowley Lane, Borehamwood, WD6 1FX, from 8am to 10am, for a chance to meet like minded businesses and build valuable working relationships.

We are pleased to welcome Leigh Cohen, from Sales Geek, as our speaker.

With over 23 years of experience in sales and sales leadership, Leigh has built a diverse career spanning startups, private equity-backed ventures, publicly listed companies, and global enterprises including Virgin Media and Experian. Over the past decade, he has focused on scaling U.S.-based companies across Europe—successfully establishing and leading high-performing teams in London, Germany, and the Middle East. Under Leigh’s leadership, these teams have secured major enterprise and public sector clients, including Aston Martin, Greggs, Accenture, Just Eat, Reddit, eBay, Red Bull, and numerous public sector organizations.

Leigh will be speaking on Sales Acceleration in a Challenging Economy, drawing from real-world experience leading teams through complex markets, economic uncertainty, and international expansion.

The sales landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Since Covid, we've faced a cost-of-living crisis, political uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and the rapid rise of AI—all of which have made organisations more cautious about spending. Buying cycles are longer, more complex, and involve more decision-makers than ever. The golden age of free-flowing budgets is behind us.

But success is still possible—with the right skills, mindset, and approach.

In this session, Leigh will share actionable strategies to help you navigate today’s tougher sales environment. He’ll explore how to maximise the value of your existing customer base while identifying and converting new business opportunities. He’ll guide you through aligning your sales approach with behaviours and outcomes that deliver real results, focusing on clarity of message and impact over complexity or features.

Leigh draws on decades of experience leading through uncertainty—focusing teams, streamlining processes, and simplifying complex value propositions. He’ll share how to cut through the noise, drive efficiency, and build a stronger pipeline—regardless of market conditions.

If you’re ready to stop using the economy or your industry as an excuse—and want to grow your customer base and opportunity pipeline—this session is for you.

The cost is £12.50+VAT, including breakfast. The first 10 businesses to book will also be allocated a 60-second slot to speak to the group. Places are very limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
