AWARE News
International Online Conference & Exhibition
Arthur Weiss, AWARE's managing partner led a number of sessions focusing on social networking and how this can be used to enhance competitive and marketing intelligence at December 2008's International Online Information Conference & Exhibition. The lectures and seminars showed how marketing and competitive intelligence professionals can use social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace,LinkedIn and others as part of their portfolio of research tools.
For more information on these lectures and how we can help you become a more effective business researcher ask us about our courses on finding CI information.
The front cover of "Smart Services" includes a quote from Andrew Garvin, the CEO of Find/SVP saying: "Finally a book that nails down what every service business needs to know about competition and competitive intelligence. 'Smart Services' offers competitive information strategies that firms can put to immediate use." I don't think that I could have given a better summary and description of this excellent book.
For a thorough review of this book check out FreePint's book review. (FreePint is an excellent portal site and discussion forum for the overall information industry, and is well recommended - and used by over 70,000 information professionals world-wide).

Quick Tip
Quick Tip: Entrance
A woman walked up to the manager of a department store and asked. Are you hiring any help? The manager answered: No - We already have all the staff we need! The woman responded: Good - then would you mind getting some one to wait on me?
How is your customer service? Are you risking sales and customer dissatisfaction because the staff you have do not focus sufficiently on your customers? We can all recognise the department store or shoe shop with sales agents busy talking to each other about what they were doing the night before, rather than helping us make a purchase. The same applies to non-retail businesses. Rather than hire new staff, make sure that the staff you have focus on the customers you need.

Finding Competitive Intelligence using Online Sources
AWARE consultants are experts at discovering competitor information online and have developed a market-leading course on Finding Competitive Intelligence using Online Sources. This course has been given as an in-house course to numerous companies across industries (e.g. IT, publishing, telecoms, chemicals....) and countries, as well as publicly at SCIP annual and European conferences (e.g. the SCIP 2008 Annual Conference in San Diego, California), the London International Online Information Conferences and other similar events.
The workshop has received high praise for its unique approach to finding competitive intelligence on the Internet. The workshop - available as a half-day or full day in-house training course - teaches attendees how to find actionable competitive intelligence rather than just present a list of sources that quickly date. Like all AWARE's in-house training, the course can be customised to focus on industry or competitive area.
For more information on this workshop and how it can help you become a more effective Internet researcher check out our Competitive Intelligence Training and ask us about our courses on finding CI information.
