Listen from Jo Palmer

Stop making these 3 mistakes with corporates

đŸš« Still struggling to land your first corporate client?
Chances are, you’re making one of these 3 mistakes.
Good news: They’re all fixable!
That’s exactly what we’ll tackle inside the Sprint: Gaining Your First Corporate Pilot.

WHAT IS THIS SPRINT ABOUT?

Break Into Corporate With Confidence

👉 Turn Conversations Into Corporate Contracts

Breaking into corporate isn’t easy. Long sales cycles, multiple decision-makers, and budget objections often stall early-stage founders before they even start...

By the end of the Sprint, you'll gain:

✅ A clear corporate buyer profile and tailored outreach plan
✅ Low-risk pilot offer for corporates but valuable enough to get paid
✅ Tools to measure success & capture testimonials that build credibility
✅ Confidence & clarity to move from first pilot to repeatable revenue

PROGRAM RUNS: Tuesday, 21 October 2025 - Tuesday, 16 December 2025. Workshops are two weeks apart.

Brought to you in partnership with FORK Collective.
