The Expert Economy
If you’re an Expert Entrepreneur looking to learn how to maximise your business and meet others on the same journey as you, you’re in the right place. Our events are a combination of Networking and Learning designed especially for those who sell their expertise as a service.
RUNS FORTNIGHTLY
ONLINE
Events are held via Zoom
GUARANTEED
30-mins in Breakout Rooms
Be Real. Create Space. Come in Service.
The road as an Expert Entrepreneur is never easy and often we appear as the ‘odd one out’ amongst our family and friends. It can often be hard for us to find the support we need, especially when the general marketing principles do not apply.
Our networking event is designed to give you the support and momentum you need to explore and build your business. We meet virtually, via Zoom, for 90-minute on a Friday lunchtime once a fortnight.
We’ve chosen Friday lunchtime because if you were working with a team, you’d probably be celebrating the end of your week by going out for lunch – and thats the feeling we want to create. This is your chance to reflect on your week, share your progress with others who understand how momentous your accomplishments are, and glean new learning you can take with you into the weekend to start your Monday fresh and bright.

Morton Patterson – Setting Your Price: How to Charge for the Value You Create
How do you know how much to charge your customers? Setting your prices can be one of the hardest things to do in your business. Charge too high and you might lose customers, charge to low and you may not breakeven.
In this talk, Morton shares his strategy for moving away from hourly pricing to ensure you get paid for the value you create for your clients and do so with confidence.
It’s also our last session before Christmas, so be ready for Christmas banter and games – and wear something Christmasy!

“A big thank you to Naomi for putting on this day. It reminded me of all the actions I need to be doing each month to keep my business on track. It’s good to have these things reinforced as it so easy to get caught up in things that don’t matter. Really valuable – and important – day”
Angela Sims, Red Tulip
“I’ve really enjoyed The Expert Economy networking events. There’s a wide variety of businesses to network with and one of the appealing things is the fact that it’s businesses from all over the country (even some international). Most other networking events are local so that makes a nice change. There are good expert speaker presentations as well as good networking opportunities in smaller breakout groups. Well run event, would definitely recommend.”
Isi Dixon, Productivity Expert
“Great first event from the Expert Economy.
Naomi Johnson was the host and she delivered a well structured and enjoyable meeting with like-minded businesses joining to discuss all things LinkedIn and what not to do when connecting.
The guest speaker was Daniel Disney from the daily sales and author of the million-pound LinkedIn message – I’ve been following Daniel for some time now and always enjoy his content and advice on social selling and he never fails to deliver a great talk.

LINKEDIN TRENDS THAT TIP THE SCALES
There is no doubt that LinkedIn is one of the most powerful platforms for prospecting and nurturing relationships, but with its clever algorithm that decides if your posts will be shown to more people, getting exposure can be hard. In this session, Jon will be updating us on the latest LinkedIn trends that will tip the scales for every post you submit by making sure it gets enough Likes, Comments and Shares so the algorithm works in your favour.

Close every sale
