A free webinar on how accountants are using webinars, slideshare, social media and i-blogs to create stunning results. Almost no firms are employing this strategy right now and it is able to greatly differentiate you in an increasingly competitive and busy market place. You can easily reach new prospects and communicate with your current clients. You can 'feed' your social media with quality content that will engage your audience and perhaps most important of all, more than the fact you can actually win quality new business doing this, is that you can leverage your time. Done once, and one well, it can live for ever! Going on working for you through the smart use of email marketing, social media, websites and word of mouth - your time invested once, can continue to deliver your engaging and valuable message to your audience. Building you goodwill, producing enquiries, generating you new income. I hope you enjoy this webinar. You can reach me direct on danielr@insight-marketing.com or +44 (0) 7879 654191 to speak further and see how you can make this work for your clients and your business. Best wishes! Dan Richards
