We had Maxine Berry in the studio to talk through how to improve your cold call conversion. Making cold calls and being in sales is a bit of a refined choice and a lot of people fall into the sales industry without meaning to.

But cold calling doesn’t need to be a low level sales tactic, it can be your best friend when it comes to making professional relationships and building new business. You just need to know how, and Maxine talks you through it.

Ryan Lisk joins us in the studio to talk about how to keep your business out of legal trouble. From drafting contracts that help businesses protect their relationships with their clients and protecting their intellectual property (IP). Googling how to write a contract and copying one off the internet is never going to be best practise – get yourself a lawyer. People assume lawyers are expensive, but they are going to be there when something inevitably comes up and they’ll understand your business already inside and out. You’ll only end up paying more than the legal fees if you feign ignorance from the beginning.
