Online Seminar Gives Small Business Owners a “Virtual” Edge

April 20, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Avon, OH — Rising interest rates and fluctuating gas prices have forced several small business owners to close their doors. SOHO Support Solutions LLC (http://www.sohosupportsolutions.homestead.com/VirtualCollaborationSeminar.html), a Copywriting & Virtual Assistance Firm, is giving many small business owners renewed optimism - by teaching them to better utilize their current resources.

“Most of our seminar clients are either current or potential entrepreneurs who have terrific ideas with excellent potential; but they don’t know how to execute their plans effectively and they have no idea where to turn for help. This seminar is designed especially for them. The idea for the ‘No Entrepreneur is an Island – Putting the Virtual World to Work for You’ online seminar came from the frustrations I experienced as a new business owner when I had no idea that these low-cost and no-cost resources were available,” Roxanne Ravenel, president & owner of SOHO Support Solutions LLC explains. “In the online seminar, we teach small business professionals about dozens of easy-to-use, highly-functional, technology applications that meet their unique needs.”

Small business owners and independent professionals searching for low-cost solutions to their productivity and skill gap dilemmas can take advantage of the firm’s low-cost seminar, “No Entrepreneur is an Island: Putting the Virtual World to Work for You,” on Wednesday, May 10th at 7PM EST or Thursday, May 11th at 2PM EST. The Webinar is designed to educate small business professionals about the availability of no-cost and low-cost technology applications. Participants also learn how to use virtual collaboration and virtual assistance (working with skilled professionals who are independent contractors via email, phone, fax, instant message and mail) to grow their businesses without hiring employees.

Diane V. Boone, Publisher and Editor of the Melanian News in Scranton, PA (www.MelanianNews.com) admits she was astounded by what she learned in the seminar. “I had no idea that all of these technology solutions were out there – many of them without cost. I’ve been to a lot of seminars; but I’ve never been able to put the information to use immediately and see a benefit. With ‘No Entrepreneur is an Island: Putting the Virtual World to Work for You’ – I did. That one-hour seminar forever changed the way I work.”

Boone took things a step further by opting for the Customized Action Plan, including a business needs assessment and formal action plan. “The assessment helped me determine the best way to integrate many of these new resources into my business with a view to organization and growth. With the recommendations I was given, I know I can double, or even triple my revenue,” Boone determined. She began putting the recommendations into action right away with good results.

“We show small business owners how to use a host of economical technology applications, like low-cost intranets and free customer relationship management applications, to improve their businesses. They also learn how to connect with virtual professionals to get the assistance they need to run their businesses more efficiently, or expand their businesses,” Ravenel revealed. “Virtual collaboration is cost-saving solution for thousands of small business owners. Whether they need a little marketing or PR support or someone to run their day-to-day operations, virtual collaboration gives small business owners access to knowledgeable, experienced professionals who can make it happen – right now.”
