Special Guest Speaker Alison Edgar MBE
Guest Speaker: Alison Edgar MBE
Since I have been crowned ‘The Entrepreneurs Godmother’ by a plethora of the world's most successful entrepreneurs including Dragon’s Den and Apprentice winners. In recognition of my services to Entrepreneurship and Business, I was honoured with an MBE in 2020. I was also invited to attend the Queen’s Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace and was twice named one of the UK’s Top Ten business advisers. I also regularly consult with Downing Street to give my opinions on the business landscape. My debut book ‘Secrets of Successful Sales’, is an international best-seller, has been stocked in the Top 10 Business Books in WHSmith, and was featured in the Independent’s 2019 Top Business Books written by Women. My mission statement "When it's delivered correctly, sales and customer service are exactly the same thing", does not come from a textbook, but a combination of my passion and experience of international hotel management and sales for some of the world's top blue-chip companies. Based on my work with entrepreneurs, I am now fortunate enough to work with multi- national conglomerates such as Sky, The Discovery Channel, Yell, and The European Commission, to teach their teams to think intrapreneurially which encourages growth mindsets, outside of the box thinking, and ultimately leads to an increase in both company-wide innovation and results.
