History of our Training
Search Engine
We are told by many of our
training seekers and training providers that our training search engine
is appreciated and a valuable tool for them to use. I wanted to
take a moment to thank all of you for the kind words, to tell you a
little about how Findaseminar.com came to be and to ask each of you for
your help in making Findaseminar.com the absolute best one-stop training
search and registration tool in the world.
I created the concept of
FindaSeminar.com in May of 2001 while attending an Internet Marketing
seminar in Atlanta Georgia. Like most great ideas Findaseminar.com
was born out of need. I did not care for the seminar that I had
driven to attend and was wondering what other seminars and training
events that I might attend instead. There was little use trying to
research events already in progress but I still wondered if there was a
way for a person to do one-stop shopping for seminars and training
anywhere in the U.S and Canada.
Interestingly and
fortunately for me, there was not. So while on the long drive back
to Texas I thought of the concept and the name Findaseminar.com.
The rest as they say is history in the making. Two years later we
continue to expand our course selection and the number of training
seekers who have found and are using our training search engine
continues to grow in leaps and bounds.
There is a real opportunity
for all of us, training seekers, training providers, my staff and I to
continue to make FindaSeminar.com "The place to do one-stop training
research and registration". The value that we can provide is
limited by the number of Training providers who list their events on our
training search engine and the number of training seekers that use our
training search engine to find and register for training classes.
I
want to extend a personal invitation to our valued training seekers and
training providers to reach out into the education and training and
development industry and tell others about the time saving tools and
convenience and ease of use of FindaSeminar.com and our training
marketing tools and search engine.
When you do you will be
strengthening the training community and broadening the knowledge and
awareness of training events being held throughout the year in the U.S.
and Canada.
I want to extend a personal
thank you to all of the training providers and training seekers that
have made this year a tremendous success in our company and for
providing us the inspiration to continue to offer you fantastic event
marketing and training management tools like TIM our new
training Information manager.
Also, if you have
a suggestion to improve the level of service that we can offer you at FindaSeminar.com we want to hear that too.
Click here to send your suggestion now.
I look forward to the rest
of 2004 and to leading Findaseminar.com towards our goal of being the
source for training search and registration now and in the future.
