Free seminar "Sell Yourself": the seminar of the successful salesperson

On Saturday, 17 October, from 9:00 in the main hall of the Technical University, Plovdiv branch, the free seminar "Sell Yourself: the seminar of the successful salesperson" took place, attended by more than 200 people. It was organised by our team at JCI Plovdiv (where I was president in 2015). The local chapter is part of Junior Chamber International (JCI), an international non-profit that brings together young, ambitious and active people and aims to create positive change in every community where it is present.

The guest speaker was Stoyan Tasev, an entrepreneur with more than 10 years of experience in sales. Stoyan was a national-level manager at a multinational, multimillion company. In recent years he has successfully grown his own business in Bulgaria and leads a large team.

"I do not promise you a bright future in sales. I promise to teach you sales practices that work in the Bulgarian market and will really help you sell." Stoyan Tasev

In the seminar Stoyan Tasev revealed many of the personal sales strategies he has used over the years, with the main focus on maximising sales, both in business and in the everyday situations where each of us has to sell or present something. His style is relaxed and humorous and based on real cases from his work. The training was dynamic, with constant interaction with the audience, clear examples and games. The audience included people from the sales departments of medium and large companies, young entrepreneurs and students who wanted to learn more about the art of selling and presenting yourself well. Skills like these help not only in sales but in every part of life, from a job interview to a romantic dinner.

I had the privilege of building the website (seminar.jci.bg) for this large and valuable event through my company Tendrik, an IT company offering a first-class range of e-commerce, web design, online marketing and SEO services for existing and new online businesses.

The event "Sell Yourself: the seminar of the successful salesperson" was completely free, and its platinum sponsor was the holding Stabil Group, which owns Stabil Agro Trade, Stabil Engineering Product Identification and Inspection, Stabilengineering Alfa, Plexistab Bulgaria, Hydrostab and Interstab.

Of course, the event would not have been possible without our partners at the Technical University of Sofia, Plovdiv branch, and the youth media outlet mediacafe.bg.
