I’m a fan of Google Products. Why?  As a small, independent business owner it is affordable, reliable and accessible. It allows me to work and access my files, email, voicemails, and calendar from anywhere (mobile, laptop, desktop, cloud) and manage multiple clients and projects.  I’m free to work anywhere.  It actually makes life easier.  Work smarter, not harder.

This is a 2 part workshop that will teach you and walk you through how to efficiently and effectively use these same google products in your small business.  Each workshop is 3.5 hours long and intense. This is NOT an overview or brush over of the subject.  It is detailed and you will walk away having achieved a more seamless integration of your documents, email, calendar and voicemails.  Each workshop will cover different Google services. Read below for further details.

Workshop Dates: Wednesday, August 8th and Wednesday, August 15th from 9:00am – 12:30pm.  Each workshop 3.5 hrs. Total of 7 hrs

• Google Plus – the New Social Network.  I will cover the basics of setting up your branded page and go over the advantages and disadvantages to your business. If you don’t want to use Facebook or are tired of it and wish to try something new, then I’ll show you how to get started on the ground floor as this new social network develops.  It already has gained more users than Facebook within the same timeframe.
