SUMMARY:Not all investors are the same: How to know the right one for you

SUMMARY:How To Identify\, Attract and Retain The Best Salespeople for SMEs
DESCRIPTION:It is said that Accounting is the only department that counts\, but those geniuses won’t have squat to do in the office if your salespeople are not up to the task.  \nSalespeople are your lifeblood\, the ones who bring in all the money. You can’t hire the wrong ones and still be a going concern.  \nGenerally\, salespeople in Kenya are good\, but you need to know who’s right for your business: \nWe have the Hunters\, who go for the big deals that take the longest time to close but are worth the while when they finally do. They don’t do long-term relationships. Just hit and run – bigly.  \nUp next is the Farmer\, in every sense of the word. They cultivate and nurture long-term engagements; bringing in the sheaves little by little. These sustain the business when Hunters come home empty-handed from aiming at high-hanging fruits. \nThen we have the Scouts – salespeople who know everything about everyone\, everywhere. They are the best hires when a company wants to storm new market. \nAnd finally\, the Shepherds. Your guys when you want to expand or launch new products to the market. They are thought leaders and influencers who bring in ready buyers with them. \nSo; which type of Salesperson is the right fit for your company?  \nJoin us for a workshop hosted by Natalia Polishchouk\, MD JstWORK\, on how to identify\, attract and retain the best salespeople for SMEs. \nHaving interviewed and hired top salespeople for top companies across the world\, Natalia will help you make just the right decision when it comes to your next big hire sales team. She will delve deeper into some of the important qualities that at times the HR tends to overlook. \nAdditionally\, JstWork has partnered with UK’s Hypergrowth•Buzz to license the world’s smartest Sales DNA analyzer\, which guarantees the perfect hire for a company salesforce. \nThis Workshop will take place on 15th November 2019 // 9th Floor // Nairobi Garage // Pinetree Plaza. \nRSVP your attendance here! \nAbout Natalia Polishchouk \nNatalia Polishchouk is the MD of JstWork and an International Headhunter and Career Coach with a total of 15 years’ experience in which she has interviewed over 15\,000 people and hired over 1\,000 across 70 countries.  \nBorn to a Ukrainian mum and Somali father; Ms. Polishchouk has schooled and worked in Russia\, Somalia\, Italy\, the UK and now Kenya – a background that has helped her understand the educational and organizational dynamics in all matters Human Resource\, Recruitment and Career Progression across the world. \nHer experience as Oracle’s recruiter for several countries in the continent has given her a unique and deep understanding of the African people.

SUMMARY:How to deliver a pitch investors can't turn down
DESCRIPTION:In today’s world\, many entrepreneurs come up with great and inspiring products however\, only a few of these products get to see the light of the day. \nThis is because there is a huge gap between having a great business idea and fully implementing it. This gap can be filled by raising the proper funds. And to get the funds\, you also need to perfect your pitch. \nIf you are running a business already\, I am sure you have tried pitching your business a number of times and probably failed. In fact\, founders like Ken Njoroge\, CEO Cellullant have shared a number of times their ‘perfect-pitch’ stories in interviews. Ken\, once mentioned that among the hurdles the company had to jump was meeting over 60 different investors over a two year period that took up 400 pitches across the world. \nWith this in mind\, it is clear that the learning curve to getting a perfect pitch can be steep\, and sometimes have a fair share of disappointing and yet inspiring and funny stories. \nAll in all\, you need to be able to convince people about your idea – whether a business idea or something completely different.  Your pitch is the main thing that could either get your business off the ground or sink it. It all matters! \nJoin Matteo Rizzi\, one of the most recognized and respected faces in the FinTech industry globally for a workshop themed the Perfect Pitch on Friday 1st November 2019 at our Kilimani Office space as he shares amazing tips to get effective pitch ideas for your business. \nThis workshop will give you tools to pitch your ides to different stakeholders\, specifically with the objective to get investors\, clients\, and partners. \n  \nMatteo is also the founder of Timepledge.org (TPO) a global program helping African entrepreneurs in several domains of their businesses\, from product to strategy to channel management to investors pitching. \nTPO matches international mentors with local expertise\, a social enterprise with the objective to create a self-sustainable platform enabling 10000 entrepreneurs in Africa. \nRun by pioneers of the Fintech scene\, this workshop will give you the tools to pitch your idea to direct stakeholders\, specifically with the objective to get investors\, clients\, and partners. \nPlease note that this workshop is super exclusive.

SUMMARY:How to position your company for success from a Legal perspective
DESCRIPTION:The interest in entrepreneurship is at an all-time high. However\, entrepreneurs will tell you that starting  your own business is both exciting and challenging. \nOne needs to understand and deal with many issues from legal\, financing\, sales and marketing\, intellectual property protection\, liability protection\, human resources\, and more. An oversight to one of this could end a great and impactful business. \nOne major mistake that most entrepreneurs do despite putting together a great research\, writing a business plan or roadmap\, and deciding on a business structure\, most entrepreneurs tend to overlook some legal requirements involved and this has crippled many businesses. \nGreat businesses that have recorded spectacular success stories of early-stage startups growing to be multi-billion-dollar companies like Uber\, Facebook and many others have occasionally found themselves in the wrong side of the law. These legal issues have led to costly consequences down the road. \nOften\, entrepreneurs aren’t willfully avoidant of these laws; they are simply unaware of what is necessary. So\, what are some of the legal requirements to review and understand before launching or even when running your business? \nWhat are some of the things that you need to understand before signing that contract? When it comes to finances and tax how best do you understand the law? Whether you’re a current business owner or are still deciding whether to take the plunge and start a company\, it’s important to step back and make sure you take all the proper legal steps to ensure your dream is realized with the protection of a legal business entity–such as an LLC or corporation. \nThis is not as hard as it is perceived though. Join Michelle A. Ouma and Ng’arua K. Ng’arua of Busaidy Mwaura Ng’arua & Company Advocates\, (BNAdvoactes) for a conversation on setting up your business to achieve maximum results within the set legal parameters. \nThis workshop in Nairobi will take place on Wednesday 16th October 2019 from 11am – 1pm at Nairobi Garage // Cove Court // Watermark Business Park // Karen. \nRSVP your attendance here! \nSee you then \nAbout the speakers: \nNG’ARUA K. NG’ARUA \nNg’arua is an Advocate of the High Court and Commissioner for Oaths.

SUMMARY:AFTER OFFICE HOURS WITH TERRYANNE CHEBET
DESCRIPTION:I think you’ll agree with me when I say: Being a leader is one of the most difficult yet the most rewarding positions in the world.\nThe joy of seeing dreams come to life and people just pursuing their passion and grow in their areas of expertise. \nHowever\, it’s not quite rosy it takes so much to become a great leader. When business coaches list the traits of great leaders\, vision\, passion\, persistence\, resilience\, hardwork are top of the list. \nBut it takes more than that. One trait that is mostly forgotten or rather overlooked is courage. Business leaders make tough choices and juggle competing priorities. This calls for courage just as much as it tests decision-making abilities. \nIt is courage that differentiates a person who ‘juggles’ tasks from a leader who handles stress efficiently. A leader who sees problems as opportunities to innovate. \nFor some leaders\, it takes more than courage to handle businesses\, hold a top position in the corporate world. And at the end of the day\, motherhood/fatherhood comes calling and they still remain sane. \nOne great example of an entrepreneur and a corporate leader is Terryanne Chebet. Over the years she has been able to run her two businesses and still rise on the Corporate Ladder across the Media Industry. Want to know how? \nJoin us for our next After Office Hours with Terryanne Chebet\, General Manager at Metropol Tv.

Traits that she has embraced over time and how they have been impactful in her roles. \nThis session will take place on 26th September from 6 pm\, on 7th Floor // Pinetree Plaza. \nRSVP your attendance for this great upcoming event in Nairobi here and see you then. \nAbout the Speaker\nTerryanne Chebet is an exemplary Media Expert.

SUMMARY:Workshop // How healthy relationships at home can improve productivity at work
DESCRIPTION:How healthy relationships at home can improve productivity at work\nThere are tons of ways to reinvigorate your work life. In fact\, we have previously covered some of these ways in some articles that we have shared in the magazine section of our website. \nFrom adding in some mood-boosting plants to your productivity space to setting up different sitting styles at your office to boost some comfort and coziness or just having inspirational wall hangings all-round the office. \nSomething you might not have considered\, though\, is how a healthy relationship at home can also affect your job performance. \nHealthy relationships could go as far as your sex life. We understand that the sex topic still remains a taboo in the African set-up but a study published in the Journal of Management has found evidence that sex might have a bigger impact on your job than you think. \nSo does your relationship at home have anything to do with your productivity at work? Does it really influence your productivity work? The truth on this is yes it does. But how? \nTo learn more about this\, join Catherine Holden (MBPsS)\, Consultant Counselling Psychologist & Sex Therapist at Almond Tree and Wellness Centre. Cathy will introduce sex therapy as an ethical practice; touch on relationships and intimacy\, as well as\, answer any questions you may have on human sexuality. \nThis workshop will take place on Tuesday 24th September from 5.30pm on the 9th Floor at Pinetree Plaza. \nRSVP your attendance here and see you then! \n  \n  \nWe regularly host thought-provoking and inspiring talks\, skill-focused seminars and unique networking evenings designed to provide opportunities for professional development and creative growth.
