Training and Support

Training:
Multi-stage training program is designed to give a solid foundation in the concepts needed to become a knowledgeable WSI Internet Consultant, regardless of background. The on-site training is led by experienced educators who understand the business and will teach the ins and outs of their proven sales and development system.

Operation Support:
After training they offer two levels of ongoing support, to handle technical and day-to-day operational needs, and for business development guidance and advice. In addition to this live telephone and email support, access to the enterprise business system and private Intranet gives operational flexibility and supporting tools for all aspects of the business. Thorough documentation, professionally designed marketing materials, forms, templates, regular newsletters and much more are available.

Internet Solution Upgrades:
Depending on the market, many businesses may already have a website. These are companies that have already acknowledged the value of a Web presence but in many cases have not yet realized the Internet’s full potential. The opportunity here comes from the wide and varied selection of products and services that can be offer to them. These include improved e-Commerce functionality, easier content updates, search engine optimization and Internet marketing services and so on. Their production facilities and suppliers are constantly introducing new products and services, and enhancing existing ones to meet the changing needs of the marketplace.

It’s also standard practice today to refresh a website’s look and feel every 18-24 months to prevent a company’s image from looking stale. This presents an ongoing opportunity to upgrade and enhance the websites of existing clients and those of new clients that are in need of an overhaul.

Recurring Internet Services:
The third main revenue stream comes from recurring fees for website hosting, visitor traffic monitoring and reporting, consulting fees and Internet marketing campaign management. Recurring revenue is an integral component of every WSI Internet Solution, and as client base grows, so does residual income.
