“I heard that Internet is a great marketing channel with gigantic sales potential. Therefore I’ve purchased a hosting plan and put my business online, but still it sucks! Where is the online sales miracle as what I’ve heard?”

“Yeah, I know WordPress and I am using it to blog. What? I have no idea what are you talking about. Earn money by blogging? How are we supposed to do that? Need plugin? What is that?”

“The hosting control panel is a recondite high-tech gadget to me. Besides creating email account and resetting password, I totally have no idea with any other functions…”

We realize that more and more of our valued hosting customers are encountering similar situations as above. They have hosting accounts, they own websites, but they are not doing well with their online business, application and activity or even managing their own hosting account.

To help customer getting things into shape, Exabytes has decided to offer our customer with a series of coaching courses. Courtesy of the cooperation from Action Coach, the world No1 business coaching firm and JeVince Solutions, Exabytes’ maiden coaching course was kicked start at our new office training room on 23 and 24 Sep.  This 2-days joint venture course featured the topic on Practical Internet Marketing (find out more info about this course here) and it was conducted by Vincent Cheng, a capable Internet Marketing Trainer & Consultant from JeVince Solutions.

Vincent was sharing useful tips in Internet Marketing. 

It was a Practical Internet Marketing course so besides listening to the coach, participants had hands-on training throughout the session.

Participants were paying attention to the coach.

More coaching courses will be coming up!
