Be Strategic: How Human-First Strategy Drives Sales and Long-Term Success
« Back to All Events10:00am / Thursday 15th January 2026
TIDE Bankside
8 Emerson St
London , SE1 9DU
A new year is the perfect moment to reset your priorities and build a strategy that supports real, sustainable growth. Many growing businesses start the new year with ambition and momentum, but the day-to-day can quickly pull focus away from what truly drives sales, relationships, and repeat customers.
This workshop gives you the space — and the structure — to rethink your 2026 strategy through a human-first lens, sharpen your thinking, and accelerate client success.
What We’ll Explore In This Session
1. Clarity: showing your value the way your customers will see it
You’ll work through:
- What your target customers are really struggling with this year
- What they value, expect, and worry about
- Which problems do you solve in a way that drives maximum value for your customers and for you
- What key messages resonate with your target customers
Clarity comes from viewing your proposition through the customer’s lens, not your own.
2. Care: Listening deeply so you design what customers actually want
We’ll explore how to:
- collect high-quality customer insight (even if you don’t have a big team)
- read between the lines of customer feedback
- understand decision drivers, hesitations, and emotional triggers
- refine your offer based on what customers tell you (directly and indirectly)
When customers feel understood, they trust your proposition — and say “yes” more easily.
3. Recognition: Who are the stakeholders who help you succeed?
Business success is never created alone. We’ll identify the people who actively support your momentum:
- customers
- partners
- suppliers
- referrers
- your wider community
- your team
You’ll examine how recognising their contribution builds trust, strengthens your reputation, and opens doors to new opportunities.
4. Connection: How do you build relationships that create long-term value?
Connection is the backbone of sustained growth. We’ll look at how to:
- deepen client relationships so they grow with you
- maintain strong ties with partners and suppliers
- build community around your business
- create relationship routines that generate repeat business and word-of-mouth recommendations
Connection is how growing businesses stay resilient and relevant.
