Workshop Overview As a small business owner or self-employed professional, your social media presence is the online face of your business. No other marketing tool offers you this type of valuable 2-way communication with your clients and potential clients.

You will leave this workshop having learned SEVEN FOUNDATIONAL TOOLS to help you optimize your Facebook business page. You can't build your business or your online community without a strong foundation! Here's what some of our recent workshop attendees are saying: I just completed Peggy's Facebook Foundations training session, and I highly recommend it. I got some misconceptions straightened out, made some important changes right there in the workshop, and left with a notepad scribbled with lots of ideas for how to go back to my office and start using our Facebook page as a tool for building great relationships. ~ Anna, Lincoln Chamber of Commerce Fantastic workshop!
