TRAIN TO GAIN

I have recently been looking into ways in which i can help my customers with their businesses and i heard about a website called http://www.businesslink.gov.uk./

It is set up by the government and offers help to businesses by giving instant accessible and clear information. They also run 'workshops' in which you or your staff can go on for free! I found the IT and e commerce and the sales and marketing advise very helpful on here. A friend went to one of the workshops and came back with great ideas for the company they work for and highly recommend it for small businesses who are looking to utilise the Internet as a opportunity to expand the business.
