plan your marketing strategy
tick off your online business start up compliance tasks, then
build a reputation that helps bring in new clients continuously and effortlessly — that’s our goal.

Website & SEO Course

A website is critical for promoting a business online. In it’s basic form a website contains information about your business and contact details but when set up correctly it becomes a sales and marketing funnel that brings customers straight to your door.

Learn how to use Crazy Domains for domains and website hosting and WordPress to create and update website pages, posts and menus.

Understand how to use your website to attract potential customers and create offers that have them entering in their details to learn more about what you do.

When your website is optimised it will become valuable and attract “organic” traffic from Google for free.

These skills will help you with your own contracting work but also give you skills that are very valuable to most small business employers.

Local Awareness Marketing

Whether you are (or want to be) a contract bookkeeper and choose your own working hours and clients or are looking for part-time or full-time work as an employee your online profile (as part of the talent pool membership) will help you stand out from other bookkeepers and get discovered for work.

Your online profile enables employers to contact you directly and this means you’ll need to be prepared with your own “qualification” questions – read on for how we help you with that.

This enables us to support and coach you about how to respond to initial prospect enquiries.

Advertising and Lead Generation

One of the most challenging tasks facing business owners is how to advertise to attract customers. It is easy to create and pay for Google and Facebook ads but getting customers to contact you and want to use your services requires a smart marketing strategy.

Learn how to focus your advertising to the needs of your best potential clients and then how to manage those leads you receive.

You’ll learn how to do this for your own business as an online business admin consultant as well as your clients (if needed).

Online Customer Service Certificate Training Course

Customer Service starts the moment someone makes contact with your business. This can happen via

website chat,

email
phone calls, and of course
when a customer visits your business

Customer service involves speaking with new customers (called prospects) who want to learn more about what you do and how you do it. The goal is that these people become customers and pay money to use your products and services.

Once they are your clients your customer service focus changes to how you can help them while they are using your business services to create happy customers. When you do a great job these customers will refer their friends and family to you and write great testimonials and reviews.
