Local Business Owner Mike Yates from 121 Business Ltd based in St Ives, Cambridgeshire was delighted when he was asked to be the guest keynote speaker for an annual International Sales and Marketing conference in Malaysia recently.

Mike was asked by Patrick Perler (Director of International Sales, Phonak Asia Hub), to put together a two day presentation, with the first day aimed at winning more Sales and the second day on Marketing and practical techniques and ideas for business growth. This was delivered in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia to an audience of 60 business owners and key personnel from Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia and Japan.

Mike commented that "Feedback from the Phonak team and the delegates was extremely positive - it was a pleasure being invited to the event and giving those who attended really practical business information to take away and further build their businesses"
