New Consortium Can Meet Your Business Training Needs

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

We’re excited to introduce an innovative new concept we have created to meet your training and development needs.  The ProFound Business Enrichment Consortium offers top-tier trainings in a group setting on a monthly basis at a great price.

Designed for small to mid-sized businesses in the Northwest Arkansas area, the Consortium  offers three primary benefits:

  • Relevant, business-impacting trainings that will help develop and motivate your employees;
  • A  powerful network of professionals who are looking to grow their own skills as well as find solutions for their workplace;
  • Engaging and experienced trainers who will ensure each monthly session is valuable and applicable.

All of this comes at a significant value.  Because by sharing the costs of training with other companies, each company gets the same training experience at a much reduced price.

You can also join the Consortium now by clicking here. Special discounts are available for those who join by August 15! Classes start in September.

Have you ever asked yourself the question “What benefit does involvement in social media offer to my business?” Many people see social media as a hobby, or only for young people, but miss the important business applications of tools like Twitter, Facebook and blogs.  A couple of weeks ago, our chief operating officer Michael Clark shared his insights into the business value of becoming active in social media by participating in an article of the Benton County Daily Record. Two business reasons to get active in social media:

  • Immediate consumer research and feedback; and
  • Communicating your message to your stakeholders.

Social media gives businesses, organizations and individuals the opportunity to build their brand reputation, share information and communicate with their customer-base.  When should you start getting in the social-media space? After reading the article below, it’s safe to say there’s no better time than the present.

Michael Clark, APR - www.twitter.com/clarknwark, is a social media strategist, consultant and featured speaker for groups and organizations looking for ways to integrate social media into their communications efforts.

Twitter Insight

The other day while attending NWA Social media club we discussed several very interesting topics, Twitter, Facebook, blogging and how they interact with business.  Elise just contributed to an UpClose column of The Northwest Arkansas Business Journal and so I thought I’d share.  I’d also be interested in hearing from you on how this media impacts your business and if you participate in the social aspect of this medium? Looking forward to the conversation.
