Internet-based Marketing Best Practices

Presented by Phil Russell

Most mid-size and larger organizations acknowledge the importance of having a coherent Internet communications strategy — be it marketing centric or customer service focused.

However, few organizations have become truly Internet savvy—unable to create a profitable business strategy for the Internet—leading to increased revenue acquisition, increased productivity and decreased operational costs.

Most organizations are not like Amazon.com™, in that their business models are not based on E-commerce. But rather, the majority of organizations are selling into situations that more complex, more customized and typically require human interaction to sell successfully. This workshop will highlight many non-E-commerce methods to exploit the Internet and provide concrete examples of how other companies are achieving attractive returns-on-investment.

Moreover, this workshop reveals best-practices related to Internet-based marketing, sales and customer service. It concludes with a practical exercise in drafting a personalized Internet strategy plan by each participating organization team representing marketing/sales and technical support.

Who Should Attend:

Marketing and/or sales managers; MIS managers; webmasters will find this workshop most helpful in leading their respective organizations to a successful web presence. Participants are invited to bring a technical staff member on day two free of charge.

You Will Learn:

  • To identify customer-service strategies that lead to bottom-line results.
