Sep Networking - ✨ Why It’s OK to Sell (and Be Salesy)

If the word sales makes you cringe—but you know you need to sell to grow—this session is for you.

Join us for a practical, no-fluff workshop that will help you:
✅ Sell with confidence (without feeling pushy)
✅ Turn real conversations into paying clients
✅ Shift your mindset around what selling really is

Our guest speaker is Rossella Daví, a Senior Sales Manager & Communication Coach with 14+ years of experience across startups, corporates, and expat life, this is sales training that actually makes sense for you.

Perfect for solo entrepreneurs, introverts, and anyone tired of awkward “pitch” energy.

Let’s reframe selling—so you can grow your business without burning out.

Business networking for small business owners

It can be lonely running a small business so let’s take you away from your desk so you can meet some like-minded business owners to grow your connections.

You need resilience as a business owner, there are so many spinning plates to manage; time, money, resources, and of course finding customers.

Our community is here to listen, help and support.

About your host

From starting a business in The Netherlands as an expat back in 2019 it was hard to get the right answers and find other business owners that were going through the same challenges.

Where do you find information, support, and recommendations without a network?

Over time, from attending events, asking questions, requesting help, and reaching out to people, I started to build a network of people who have provided invaluable support and has opened up many opportunities.

I love getting to know people, their stories, and their challenges, helping them by ‘connecting the dots’ through connections and collaborations.
