German sales pitch workshop

Open Target group: Exporting businesses

The German sales pitch workshop is a good opportunity to practice presenting your product or service in German.

The workshop will be conducted by Mr Daniel Gundelach, from Germany's MEPLAN, an affiliate of Messe München. Mr Gundelach has 15 years of experience preparing businesses for trade fairs and conducting sales pitch training.

The workshop will discuss the specifics of a German sales pitch and its differences from the English pitch. Participants will write, practice and perform their sales pitch in German, which is then analysed and corrected. The workshop lasts one day and takes place in German. After the workshop, every participant will receive an additional consultation through Skype.
