Following the success of the OpenCoffee networking events we have held in Bradford, Sheffield and Barnsley, bmedi@ are running another event at the Yo Yo Bar in Shipley.

The emphasis of OpenCoffee is very much on the internet and new media industries etc. These free events are informal and see a range of technology entrepreneurs, designers, bloggers, developers, geeks, investors and anyone else who's interested in digital media and technology exchanging ideas and striking up relationships that would otherwise never have flourished.

In the current business climate buyers are becoming ever more demanding putting the squeeze on suppliers to deliver more for less. Buyers are becoming more and more adept at using key negotiating skills and tactics to conclude deals in their favour. It is therefore essential that customer facing staff have the skills to effectively negotiate and conclude deals.
