Since its launch last year, the Portsmouth Business Support Service, delivered in partnership with Portsmouth City Council, has supported over 200 local businesses in various ways. From workshops to one-on-one mentorship, and other provisions. The programme has made significant strides in empowering businesses across the city.
This year, we’re excited to build on that success by introducing new opportunities and refining our services. By streamlining processes and collaborating closely with experts, we’re expanding the number of workshops available to provide even more valuable support to businesses.
As part of this effort, we are thrilled to announce our latest partnership with Jodie Goodchild, who will present her Lead Generation Masterclass: Understand Your Market, Set Your Strategy, and Start Winning Sales.
This FREE workshop is led by Jodie, a marketing expert with nearly 20 years of experience in lead generation, sales, and marketing. These workshops are designed to help businesses of all sizes overcome common challenges such as visibility and lead generation. Valued at £5,000, this masterclass is an incredible opportunity to gain the tools and strategies needed to elevate your business.
The first Masterclass will be held on Monday 3rd February. Find out more and book your place here.
