Topic
Why Remote Workers are more Engaged?
Remote working is more relevant today than ever. This is Wendy’s story about having a remote/distributed team for more than three years and why she would never go back to having an office-based team again. Wendy will explain how to make remote working can work for you and your team and will address people’s particular concern about communication. She will also share the tools, strategies and systems they use for communication, recruitment, collaboration and much more.
Guest Speaker
Wendy Norman, LiveLink Resource
Wendy Norman started LiveLink 10 years ago after two careers – ish!
Her early employed years started in the Navy as a Weapons Analyst. She quickly realised that conforming to the rigid structure was not her thing. Next, she worked in hotel management – in small luxury hotels until moving to Jerusalem, where she lived for 6 years. Returning from Israel, Wendy worked in Primary Care Governance in the NHS until she could take no more and started LiveLink.
LiveLink is predominantly for private healthcare clinics. Combining her customer skills with healthcare seemed the obvious thing to do, so she did!
Wendy is lucky enough to live by the river in Norwich and has two cats, Mad Mary Moo and Lady Grace.
When not locked down, Wendy loves going to the theatre and eating out. She recently took up Pilates – never to be seen in public though so will continue at home in splendid isolation!
LiveLink started 10 years ago as a virtual PA/call answering company. In 2015, they niched into private healthcare and hotels (as these are Wendy’s areas of expertise).
Currently, LiveLink support around 80 clinics – many are podiatrists or speech and language therapists. 15 hotels/restaurants and the remainder are a mix of accountants, trainers, trades, finance, letting agents. In total, they have around 135 clients.
Many healthcare clinics are evaluating their businesses in the wake of Covid-19. Unfortunately for their team, many are being made redundant as the employment costs are too high, which is where they benefit.

Selling ‘to’ is over; forget ‘always be closing’ and ‘if I could show you a way to’ and those other phrases of perceived wisdom that have had their day. Stop your sales pitch and start building meaningful conversations. Learn to love objections, they are the real ‘why choose you’ drivers. The P.A.N.D.A Effective Sales Process starts with Personal and Professional Preparation and ends with Action. Because this is a staged process you will always be able to identify what went right and what may have gone wrong. Every person that learns, understands, and practices P.A.N.D.A will instantly become better at sales – even those who lack confidence and the belief that they can do it.
Glenn lists Head of Sales at Premier Education as a current role and he has also performed similar roles for Barrett & Coe Photography, Auto Trader and Archant.
Giving him a wide level of experience in B2B and B2C and at the same time practising the need for sales to be a real team effort.
His passion is for relationship-based sales, as opposed to those that fit into a more transactional nature. By that, he means that working with the same customers over time builds trust and lifetime value.
