How to Gain Recognition for Your Projects
This program will help you gain a sense of how to build a public relations program in order to effectively promote your company and projects. Gain a sense of how to identify news or stories that the media will be interested in, as well as provide tips and guidelines as to how to present projects and items of interest, how to work with the media, what information you should be prepared to release and how to develop a PR program. The content also will help participants in identifying projects and news items for award competitions.
Creating Success with Effective Proposals
Regardless of your experience, a poor proposal can equate to losing a job that should have been yours! In order to maximize the potential of securing the work you deserve, it is important to evaluate the message you send to your prospective clients. This program will help you review your proposal efforts – from a go/no go decision-making process to a review of what to include and not include in a proposal. The content also includes information about formatting and proposal layout, common mistakes, language blunders, and other useful tips that participants can put to use immediately in their day-to-day efforts.
Online Social Media
Social networking is the leading phenomena in modern society and tools such as Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Digg, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube are the new way of networking. Simply, online social media is about dialogue, two-way discussions that bring people together in order to discover and share information. With this new phenomena comes the need for companies to create online social media policies to guide employees’ decisions and behavior as well as the importance of developing strategy related to social media. We have developed this unique program to help you navigate this new media tool, develop strategy, avoid dangers and pitfalls, and utilize the benefits this new media offers.
