CHALLENGES - ARE YOU PREPARED FOR 2011?

New Direction Partnership, a networking group based in East London, are hosting some workshops over the coming months to help small business owners to achieve their goals for 2011 and beyond.  It could be that you need additional knowledge to help you grow your business but can't afford the time away from your business or are finding that many courses and workshops just cost too much.

NDP are therefore running a series of short seminars, outside of "normal" working hours (if there is such a thing when you run your own business!) at a really cost effective price. You can pick & choose which workshops appeal to you, or book the complete series for a discounted price.

Do you need some help with marketing your business, or perhaps you need to gain a better understanding of finance? Do you shy away from social media, in spite of knowing what a great marketing tool it can be? Or perhaps you feel that you need to understand how to promote yourself and your business as a "brand".

Some of the workshops on offer are :

Marketing & Selling - looking at the "6Ps" - Planning, Purpose, Promotion, Place, Product & Price............read more

Social Media - what is social media marketing and how do you measure its value to your business? How is social media changing the way small businesses promote themselves on the web? Read on to learn more & book this course.

Effective Networking - we only do business with people we like, know and trust. Come and learn how to build networks to generate referrals and lead to profitable long-term relationships. For further details click here.

That's just a taster of 3 of the 9 workshops which are being held on a rolling basis.. To read further details about each one, plus dates & details of how to book, take a look at the NDP website.
