Business Coaching Event in Essex a Success
Apr 17th
Yesterday The Internet Business Coach held a Free business coaching event for the new government initiative sponsored by Google and BT Getting British Business Online at the Barking and Dagenham Small Business Centre in Barking, Essex at which we gave help and information to local business startups, small businesses and medium enterprises on how to get online for free through the initiative.
The event was fully booked within 24 hours of invitations going out and was extremely successful with business owners commenting that they wish we had given made the event longer, that they felt that the ½ day session was extremely useful and they would definitely recommend other businesses take the opportunity to book on to our next event.
The event was designed to give business startups, small business and medium enterprises within the East London, Redbridge and Havering areas the opportunity to get helpful tips on internet marketing, doing business online and to show business owners in attendance how to set up their website step-by-step using online tools during the actual coaching session.
The event went extremely well and we as a company are proud to be part of this initiative to offer this free service to local businesses and hope that many other local business owners will try to get to one of the events. Most events are offered for free and any courses we run that do have charges are to cover the cost of the venue with a small charity donation as well.
We are holding more events very shortly and any business owner interested in attending should fill in the form by clicking the link below as soon as possible as the events are extremely popular and fill up fast.

Helping Small /Medium Enterprise’s in the UK get online Free
Mar 20th
It is estimated that there are at least 1.5 million businesses in the UK that do
n’t yet have a website. Many businesses of all sizes and from a variety of sectors aren’t yet online, but more importantly their customers are – with over 41m people in the UK using the Internet. We aim to help change this.
The Internet Business Coach has become a partner on a new initiative called ‘Getting British Business Online’, which is a joint initiative by Google, Enterprise UK, BT, e-skills UK and many other partners to help SME’s create their first website free and help them understand the opportunities offered by the Internet. The campaign will run throughout the year until December 2010 during which time The Internet Business Coach will continue to offer help for free service via webinars and events throughout the East London and Essex area.
A website is one of the most effective ways to grow your business, allowing potential customers to find you, view your products, and place orders while you’re busy running your business. So we’re delighted to make it easier than ever for you to enjoy these benefits.
If you already have a site not to worry as there are a range of tools that can help you improve your current site: you can attract new customers with a free listing on Google Maps; learn how customers are using your site with Google Analytics; and make it easy for customers to buy online with PayPal.
Click here fill in the form and tell us if you are interested in a webinar or event, we will then send you details how to get on one of our webinars or an event near you.
