Workshop Details:
Social Media “The Why’s, How’s and What-To-Avoid’s of Social Media”
Social media makes it possible for your customer, your employees, your colleagues, and anyone who has an interest in your enterprise to spread word of mouth advertising, be it good or bad.
During this overview, participants will learn the importance of owning and managing their online identity, the techniques that make it easy, and the pitfalls to be avoided to maintain a professional image.
Direct Sales Building a business quickly and reliably can only be done with the right selling tools. Unfortunately, most start-up businesses never take the time to develop and intentional selling strategy. This session will provide you with a toolkit full of proven techniques that will help you reach new customers and show them why they should trust you , buy from you, brag about you, and refer their friends to you.
Networking Marketing
Email, social media and texting have an important place in marketing, but who do you send them to? How doe you create connections in the first place? Networking is an important part of building your business, and it can be intimidating. This session will show you how to make networking easy, fun, meaningful and profitable!
Key Steps to Market Research
Use library resources to conduct market research and find the information you need to put in your business plan.
Business Insurance

Discussions on how much and what kind of coverage is needed to protect your business will be covered. A professional from this industry will help you consider the options of where to obtain, as well as how to start looking for insurance your business may need.
Referral Marketing 101
Referral marketing is the most effective form of marketing for businesses with limited marketing budgets. If you are willing to invest the time to learn specific referral marketing strategies, tools, and techniques you can double, even triple your sales in months without spending additional marketing dollars. If you don’t have a referral marketing plan for your business, this session is a must! You will learn how to develop a strategic referral network, who should be in it, how to find them and how to motivate those people to refer business to you.
This class will open your eyes to the possibilities of generating more sales in less time by doing business by relationship. Unless you can find more time and work harder than you already are, you can’t afford to miss this class. You will learn some specific techniques that will enable you to really work smarter, not harder.
