About the Workshop

In this 3 hour session, “Don’t Be Afraid, It’s Only Selling”, Robert Bell, who is the Director of Storytelling at EyeCoach, will take members through an incredible workshop that will teach both doctors and their staff teams how they can leverage their own brand stories to engage their customers and drive increased sales.
