The Wellington Chamber of Commerce And Small Business RoundTable Presented Another Successful Workshop To Business Owners

 

The Small Business RoundTable presented their second session of a six part series Thursday evening, March 28th,  at Lake Wellington Professional Centre, 12230 W. Forest Hill Boulevard in Wellington, Florida.   This was a hands on, instructional session focused on learning how to utilize the social network LinkedIn as a powerful marketing tool to increase business revenue.  Attendees brought their electronic devices, enjoyed some food and wine, sat at a round conference table, rolled up their sleeves and got down to the business of learning.  The event was sponsored by Blanca Greenstein who announced the opening of her new law firm in Wellington – The Law Offices of Greenstein & Associates.

The presenter/instructor for the evening was Debbie Wemyss of DW Consulting Solutions.  Wemyss is an Independent LinkedIn Specialist who offers coaching on LinkedIn profile optimization.  She teaches business people the best ways to  marketing themselves to individuals and corporations.  She currently coaches over 250 professionals one on one plus hundreds more through workshops and speaking engagements.   Wemyss has many years of business experience and a strong background in PR, media and fundraising.   She excelled in her positions as a Project Administrator at The Palm Beach Zoo,  Marketing/Public Relations Director for Ballet Florida and Development Director for a local affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure before launching her own business DW Consulting Solutions.

Wemyss began the session by providing a brief history of LinkedIn and how it works.  Then she had attendees work on their accounts as she guided them, step by step, through different sections of their profiles.  In each area, she shared ways to improve on wording, keywords and material that should and shouldn’t be included on the profile.  She also covered “back end” functions such as naming the url correctly and adjusting settings.   Attendees easily followed along with Wemyss who had her account on a flat screen TV for all to view.  It was a positive and interactive session with attendees asking many questions and Wemyss providing a lot of answers.

 

The next session of the Small Business RoundTable will be April 25th, 2013 held at the same location and time.  That session will focus on learning and understanding how to utilize Facebook as a strong marketing tool to increase business profits.  Attendees will be required to bring their computers because this will also be a hands-on session.  They will also need to have an active business Facebook account in order to enroll.
