BUSINESS BRAND NETWORK CONSULTING AND TRAINING Promoting Your Brand
INTRODUCTION TO IN-HOUSE BUSINESS NETWORK TRAINING Abtech provides a range of options to assist your organisation in maximising the reach of social and business networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter in the UK and national specific networks such as Hyves (Holland), Xing (Germany) and Viadeo (France).
We offer ½ day and 1 day in-house workshops for those organisations who already have a basic understanding and knowledge of social media. The workshop approach will show you how to set-up the right tools, use them to maximum effect to promote your business and learning what can and cannot be done.
Our full service Launch Project is based on an initial ‘Set Up’ service followed by an in-house training session for your key network users on the basics of using business and social networks to promote your business, acquire new business contacts and initiate direct candidate generation activity. At the end of the training day, your staff will be provided with a PowerPoint Guide to creating and managing their Business Network community. The Launch Project can be extended with our monthly maintenance service to ensure your staff are keeping up with extending their reach.

DEVELOPING IN-HOUSE EXPERTISE In-house LinkedIn training workshops can be a creative, flexible alternative to attending open or web based courses. It has the added benefits that the trainer will be coming to you, saving your staff time and money and, of course, the concentration of your key employees on the day will be solely focussed on your business. We take the time to research and develop an understanding of your business. We then prepare and develop company specific content prior to delivery of the training at your premises, ensuring the results will be immediate and tangible.
