Women Netpreneur Series Pilot Project 2013

This project was proposed by GorgeousGeeks (an Non Profit Association for Women are in the IT Industry who loves networking). But without SME Corporation Malaysia and PEMANDU's support, this project can never take off.
30 businesswomen from various associations and from many different backgrounds are carefully selected to participate in this 2-month intensive workshops and coaching sessions (March - April) to achieve the ultimate goal; 'Using ICT for their business'.
All participants were requested to 'agree' and 'commit' their time until end of program and anyone who misses any of theie sessions will be asked to leave.
Majority of the participants are successful business people but have never explore the virtual world to further compliment their businesses. This could be due to lack of IT knowledge or lack of staff and support to understand the 'know-hows'.

Testimonials From Participants
I would like to THANK YOU for giving the nod to join my wife in your class. It is certainly a paradigm shift from a telecommunications consultant to an online netpreneur; and I became one by chance. Two things have left an indelible mark in my mind of the course.
1) Your gift to inspire us to diligently pursue the course. 2) Your maxim "If you don't ask, I wont tell". It has been a culture of the Malays not to ask questions and we have come to realise that being silent will never make you a better person to understand things. I would like to thank all the ladies for accommodating me to be a participant of the course just as I will always remember the friendly banters during it. Thus the destination is set, i.e to have a great website that will have traction; and the journey has just begun. Thankfully, with Carol's guidance as well as Elton's, the route map has been set up. Its up to us to finish the building blocks to successfully sell online as well as offline. To borrow Elton's tagline Good Artists Copy, Great Artist Steal. my conclusion is that you not only have to have a Good Website, You have to Steal the Show for customers to get into your Website. That's the challenging part. Here's wishing Carol, Elton and All the Ladies the Best in Your Future Endeavours. Was'Salam and God Bless. - Razak Yatim and Sharina (http://www.hartanahconsultants.com/) |
