Whangarei Business Womens' Network - June 2025 Event

Embracing Sales - Getting over the sales hump

This month we're welcoming our guest speaker, Sky Leigh from Haven

Have you ever found yourself stuck on the sales bit of your biz?

Starting our own business with passion and excitement as we follow our hearts' desire can be an amazing feeling. That's until we realise that 'someone' needs to sell our chosen product or service. Uh-oh, that's me! I'm now a sales person.

Do you find yourself putting off those sales calls? Procrastinating by cleaning the cupboards? Or doing something, anything else to avoid making that sales call? This month we're delighted to welcome Sky Leigh from Haven. Although Sky never wanted to be in sales, when she realised she needed to generate sales for her business to succeed, she enlisted help from a professional, developed strategies to conquer her inner resistance, and she hasn't looked back since.

Sky joined Haven 12 years ago and established herself early on as a high achiever, successfully maintaining her top performer status consistently for 8 consecutive years. Sky returned to her hometown of Whangarei two and a half years ago to establish the Whangarei branch of Haven. With her background as a life and biz coach as well as having run advertising businesses, and her successful sales record, Sky has grown the Whangarei branch of Haven to a team of 14 advisers. As a team they're in the business of educating, empowering and helping individuals make really good financial decisions and they have a laser-focus on providing tools, advice and services to build a brighter future for New Zealanders.

Sky loves her job and outside of work she enjoys gardening and home renovation with her partner while the dog simply looks on! This month Sky will share with us how we can achieve our sales outcome with ease and will help us identify: • What stops us from embracing sales? • What strategies we can use to get through the barriers to selling? and • The three types of strategies we can use to overcome sales resistance. If you're wanting to lift your results, boost your turnover, and exceed your budget, you'll want to join us this month for sure!
