About the workshop
This workshop gives you a clear, practical understanding of sales as a craft — built on curiosity, relationships, and structure, not on being a “sales type.”
We take you through the entire sales cycle: finding the right customers, reaching out, building trust, creating value, avoiding common mistakes, and closing the sale with confidence. With strategy as the backbone, you’ll learn simple, effective techniques you can use immediately in your daily work.
Sales skills are essential for any startup — and anyone can learn them. The workshop combines hands-on tools, real examples, and plenty of room for discussion.

About the workshop
A Customer Relationship Management tool (CRM tool) is your startup’s commercial control board. It becomes key when designing and managing your customer journeys and they help you close as many customers as you can and lets you automate parts of your sales efforts.
When using CRM tools, you take a structured and strategic approach to managing and analyzing customer interactions, making the most of all your customer interactions. At the same time, it becomes a treasure trove of data to support your business case to investors, funding applications and financial forecasting in your startup.
CRM-systems come in many different shapes and sizes. In this workshop we will cover CRM-systems from a basic spreadsheet to dedicated CRM-software and build-it-yourself with NoCode/LowCode tools.
