Sales Workshop - The Art & Discipline of Sales

20th January 12:00 to 16:00
This practical session shows how sales is both an art and a discipline, boosting communication, persuasion, and career confidence in any field. Adam draws on his journey from Leeds University to leadership roles to show how sales skills apply far beyond traditional sales jobs.
This activity is offered as part of Future Me Week - five days of exciting opportunities to develop your skills, deepen understanding, gain experience and take steps towards an exciting Future You.

Delivered by Adam Graham, Founder of Gray Matters

Overview

This interactive workshop introduces you to sales as both a creative skill and a practical discipline — something that can boost your confidence, communication, and career prospects in any industry. Through hands-on activities, live pitching, and real-world examples from Adam’s career, you’ll learn how to communicate value, structure your ideas, and persuade others effectively.
