Join us on December 2 for “Webinars: 101”, where you will learn how webinars can be an effective and cost efficient business tool.

There is no better way to drive business results, quickly and cost-effectively, than with real-time, on-demand web collaboration called webinars. It’s no longer just a competitive advantage – it’s a competitive necessity.
Webinars are proven lead generation techniques that are both effective and efficient. Going beyond lead generation or information sessions, webinars can strengthen awareness of products and solutions to existing customers as well as establish thought leaderships to all clients. These lower cost marketing solutions offer companies a way to stay in front of their customers and build relationships.
In today’s economy with budgets being slashed but still needing to stay competitive, training is an important element which is being overlooked due to costs. A webinar is a cost-effective alternative to the common live training sessions. Webinars allow you to deliver dynamic, interactive training to employees, customers, and partners anywhere in the world.
At Webinars: 101, Laura Dorner, Owner and Executive Online Producer of WXevents will explain what webinars are, why you would use webinars and how webinars can impact your company’s bottom line. She will also share how using her services and expertise can alleviate anxiety and prepare the leader of the session to hold a successful and efficient webinar.
This session will also be offered as a hybrid webinar session, so even if you can't leave the office, you can still attend. To register for the online session, click here to register. To register to attend the live session at the Chamber, please register below.
