Are you your own worst enemy? The truth is simple: a lot of SEM consultants are great at helping clients, but lousy at getting and keeping them! If you spend too much time chasing leads... if you only land contracts with one out of ten prospects... if you continually have problems with managing client expectations... don't give up the game just yet, because help is on the way!
Most professional web consultants face these same problems. While every situation is different, the solutions are universal. In this fast-paced web and phone based training, you will tackle each problem in turn as we move through the entire client life cycle, exposing the best (and worst) practices in marketing, sales, consulting, and project management.
This course is led by Dan Thies, author of SEO Fast Start and the SitePoint Search Engine Marketing Kit. No travel is required, thanks to our online training format. Students watch the recorded class sessions (video files compatible with Mac & Windows), then attend weekly Q&A sessions via a group conference call.
