Seminar: How To Turn Your Website Into A Lead-Generating Machine Without Using An AI
Presenter - Darren Jamieson
Most businesses get little to no leads via their website or social media. In this talk, Darren Jamieson from Engage Web will be showing you exactly why that is, and how you can change it and use the web and social media to maximum effect, increasing your website?s visitors and social media followers and turning them into qualified leads for your business. No jargon. No techno babble. Just clear, concise actions you can make for yourself to start generating regular leads for your business.

? Why most websites do not work and don?t generate any business
? Why most social media doesn?t work
? How you can be different and attract your ideal target client to your website
? How you can turn those visitors into verified leads
? How you can convert those leads into clients
? All of this without using an agency or freelancer, or needing any design or development skills

Darren has over 25 years of experience in the digital marketing industry, working as the first in-house web designer for GAME at the turn of the millennium. Co-founder of web design and digital marketing agency Engage Web, back in 2009, Darren has built a team that helps clients across the UK, Australia, Canada and the United States to grow and scale their businesses via the internet.

What our
members and
visitors say...

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for arranging the introduction to Sue Brocklehurst of the University of Chester Academies Trust at the last Business Network lunch. Sue was genuinely surprised during the initial introductions to learn of all the services, the members on her table could offer to the Trust. Sue did comment that having received a personal invitation from you inviting her to lunch, she could simply not refuse! I have subsequently emailed Sue and I am hoping that your initial introduction will turn into some real business. Thank as always for your continuing support and assistance.

I just wanted to write and thank you for such a great afternoon. Every lunch I come to I have a great time, meet new people and always come away with useful contacts and future leads. Today's raffle donation was ?140 which is fantastic and takes your total raised this year to ?515 as well as kindly allowing me to attend the lunches so I really appreciate your support. We will write a formal thank you but wanted to send this in the mean time while I'm fresh from 'Boom Whacking'!
