Training: Pitch & Deal and more

THE POPULAR and effective NUJ "Pitch & Deal" training course is happening again on Saturday 26 November.

Humphrey Evans writes: A freelance who benefited from this course emailed afterwards to say: "I attended your Pitch and Deal course in August. It was invaluable and, since then, my commission rate has markedly increased." If that is the kind of thing you would like to be able to say of your own deals, sign up to come along. The day costs £90.
