Charlotte Entrepreneurs Private Dinner Event

Step into an evening designed for business owners who want more than surface-level networking. Join our **Private Dinner**, where Charlotte’s entrepreneurs gather to share real stories, build authentic relationships, and uncover opportunities to grow together.

This experience is about **meaningful conversations, collaboration, and connections that drive real results**. Over a great meal, you’ll be surrounded by passionate entrepreneurs who are serious about scaling their businesses.

This time, we’re excited to welcome a sales expert **Jill Pedersen.** With over **20 years of experience in sales**, Jill has worked across **6 countries, 3 continents, and in multiple languages**, helping companies build intentional sales strategies that drive predictable growth. She’s on a mission to help growth-minded businesses with **$10M+ in revenue and 5+ salespeople** develop high-impact sales systems that scale.

Join us to gain practical insights and strategies on building a sales foundation that actually works, and walk away with actionable takeaways you can apply to your business immediately.

• Connect with a diverse group of business owners who are committed to taking their businesses to the next level. Share experiences, challenges, and ideas in an intimate, focused setting.
• **Deeper, More Intentional Connections**
With a limited guest list, this isn’t about handing out business cards, it’s about building relationships that can turn into partnerships, referrals, and long-term support.

We’ve invited **Jill Pedersen**, a sales expert, to share her insights on **Building a Sales Foundation That Scales With You.**
