Schedule of FREE Seminars provided by:

9:00 – 10:45 – Business Start Up Orientation
Learn about legal structures, registration, licenses, market research, business planning, obtaining financing, insurance, taxes, employer responsibilities, and sources of assistance. 

11:15 – 12:15 – The Employee Life Cycle
So, you want to hire an employee? What paperwork do you have to complete? How much should you pay them? What if you have to fire them? This course will not only help you answer those questions, but will also provide a solid framework to help you hire the right person and better manage them, so they do what you ask.  

1:45 – 2:45 – Marketing Strategies in Turbulent Times 
Perceptions play a major role in a weak economy.  If people believe money is going to be tight, they will behave as if it is… even if they have money to spend.  Consumers will be looking for as much value as possible in a weak economy.  During an economic downturn, consumers will not respond to yesterday’s marketing strategies… those tactics just won’t do.  You need to be proactive.  Savvy marketers can boost sales and market share, even if the industry in which they compete is in a slump.  Their ads convince prospective customers that their product or service has value and is a wise investment.   Economic downturns reward the aggressive marketers and penalize the timid ones.  This seminar will focus on short-term tactical techniques as well as long term strategies to tailor advertising in response to the shaky economic climate.

  
3:15 – 4:15 – Powerful Relationships Integrating Social Media
Learn why Social Media is so powerful and critical to implement in your business. This seminar will show you how easy it is and how you can save time while utilizing this vehicle to set you apart from your competition and reach your perfect customer.
