Patrick O'Malley is having tacos for lunch. (Who really cares?)
Twitter is getting plenty of press today but most people don't understand why anyone cares about what other people are having for lunch, when they go to the gym, or when they catch a flight to LA.
We understand Twitter for business, and we know who needs it now, who doesn’t, and when it will be worthwhile for everyone to join. Listen to this seminar and learn why Twitter can be incredibly powerful for a marketing or business development person, why twitter can be a waste of time for most people, and learn the 3 features that will change that at some point in the future (so you'll know when it is worth your time to join and use it... for personal and business gain!)
If you don't understand why you would join Twitter... and you don't care what someone else is having for lunch, this seminar will give you a great business perspective and will be well worth a quick 20 minutes of your time. (And it's FREE!)

Social Media For Government Contractors - 1 DAY WORKSHOP
You can get social marketing training just about anywhere these days. What you can't get is social marketing training in the government industry from an entertaining, true subject matter expert like Patrick O'Malley. Patrick is the best-of-the-best in delivering social media training and he's available to you only through CBRS.
What is social marketing? How and where can you use it as a government contractor? Where is the best place to start? What clutter can you ignore? How are your customers (gov) using these new tools? Where are they using it? What do you need to be doing to be where they are... to meet them (literally and figuratively) where they are. How do social media tools make your "homework" produce exponentially more results?
In this one-of-a-kind one-day workshop, there will be a lot of laughing and a lot of
learning. A good mix of lecture and exercises.
The course covers Linkedin, Twitter, and YouTube as they relate to your ability
to market and develop business relationships in the government
contracting market. We'll look at
the best of what's happening in social media today and how we can apply and bring that
into the government industry.
This
IS NOT a class about the basic mechanics of using these tools, but rather a course
full of tactical tips, hands-on exercises, and strategic application of these
tools in this market! Come prepared to deepen your understanding of the
key components of social marketing in both the government environment and the government
contracting environment. We'll examine government and commercial case studies
(including the Swiss Aids campaign, the longest running and one of the
most successful social marketing campaigns in the world!) We'll also look at
Travel Smart (originally developed in Western Australia with the aim of
increasing public transportation usage).
AND THE BEST PART?
Patrick has figured out and will teach you how to use powerful, undocumented techniques with LinkedIn,
Twitter, and YouTube to create more leverage with your current contacts and
prospects giving you an edge in the government contracting market. Bring your laptop and be prepared to do some "real work" and social marketing while you are in this class.
STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT!
Come join us to learn about the cutting edge of social
media, and find out how you can transform your business before your competition
beats you to it!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Marketing, sales, and business development staff with
government as their target market.

It is true that a lot of people waste a lot of time on Twitter!! And not just their time, but yours and mine too!
However, believe it or not, Twitter is one of the most powerful sales and marketing tools in history IF it is used properly!

Linkedin for Government Contractors 101
LinkedIn can be an extremely powerful tool for reconnecting with old contacts, researching companies and their employees and acquiring new business. Unfortunately, LinkedIn hasn't done a great job of teaching people how to utilize it. Fortunately, we do. In this initial session, you will learn... 10 different ways to use Linkedin.
- how to research companies and find decision makers
- how to create a strong profile
- how to build your network
- how to utilize your network to get access to decision makers
- how to make cold calling less cold by developing relationships online
If your old roommate from Annapolis knew the CIO of the agency that your are targeting, would you know it? Would you know the things to say to the CIO to create a common bond and rapport with him? Do any of your friends, colleagues, and classmates from your past currently work for the government (or a teaming partner)?
We have figured out how to use powerful, undocumented techniques with LinkedIn to create more business, enhance referrals and leverage your current contacts to increase your bid win rates.
We will teach you how to do these things with LinkedIn, and you'll enjoy learning it, too! See you at the webinar.
NOTE:
Prior to attending the webinar, please set up a LinkedIn account and know how to invite connections and accept connections. We want to use your valuable time to teach you things that would be more difficult to learn on your own.
