Personal success will increasingly depend on more than just a Bachelor\u2019s Degree and a foreign exchange. TalentInspiration.Com helps students and entrepreneurs in gaining the edge in sales by providing a four-class programme in an inspiring environment which teaches the fundamentals of sales techniques.<\/p>\n<p>The classes evolve around four topics in sales: listening, speaking, creativity and closing, of which the importance cannot be underestimated. These skills will be taught in an interactive environment, utilising real-life cases and scenarios. Next to the cycle in Dutch there will be a separate cycle in English, which makes the programme accessible to international students at the EUR who do not speak Dutch. The English cycle will start on Tuesday 20 January; the Dutch cycle on Wednesday 21 January. The master class will be repeated in February. In addition to the sales master class, there will be a debating master class as well.<\/p>\n<p>TalentInspiration.Com was recently established by Tobias Goedbloed, currently a student at RSM Erasmus. The venue of the classes will be Caf\u00e9 Belmondo and adjacent Kennis+Koffie, a unique and inspiring location close to the Oostplein, dead-smack in the middle between the city\u2019s business centre and the university. KL<\/p>\n<p><i>For more information and registrations for the master classes or TalentInspiration.Com\u2019s activities, contact Tobias Goedbloed at tobias@talentinspiration.com or call +31 6 24 34 52 64. Kennis+koffie and Caf\u00e9 Belmondo are located at: Goudsesingel 56, Rotterdam, and more information can be found at www.kennisenkoffie.nl<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\t<div
