The Shortlist You're Not On: how buyers are choosing suppliers with AI, and how to get into the room
🤝 Event: Catalyst Event: Sales Growth: How buyers are choosing suppliers with AI
📅 Date: 15th October
🕰️ Time: 10am
📍 Location: Natwest Accelerator, 3rd Floor, 2 Whitehall Quay, Leeds, LS1 4HR
📝 Description:
More and more buyers now open ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity before they open Google. They ask for a shortlist of suppliers before they ever make contact with anyone. If you are not in that answer, you don't lose the deal, you never hear about it in the first place. Most business owners have no idea what those tools are currently saying about them.
It's hands-on rather than a talk. Everyone runs their own business through the tools live, sees exactly what comes back, and sees where the answer came from, which is the part that surprises people. Then we work through the fixes. Most are quick, and none of them need an agency.
What people leave with:
• Their own result, written down, plus what their competitors' results look like
• The five things they can fix in a fortnight
• The questions they already answer on every sales call, turned into the content that gets them found
• An AI research assistant, built in the room, that preps their next prospect meeting.
Don't forget to bring a device that you can use in the session to try it out for yourself.
Our Catalyst Events bring together practical tools, expert insight, and the power of a supportive entrepreneurial community.
