Airtel Business empowers SMEs through best business practices seminar
Airtel Business hosted several of its customers in
the SME category over breakfast with presentations
from senior industry analysts from Airtel and
partners who imparted their knowledge on best
business practices using telecommunications and
ICT with the aim of empowering and helping them
grow their business.
The theme of the Business Breakfast Series,
“Reaching your full Business Potential with
Airtel Business” is a first from Airtel and is
being championed by Airtel Business, Airtel’s
exclusive business focused division. It attracted
over 100 business owners and decision makers
across various industries in Ghana. Topics covered
during the seminar included “The Power of Brand
in Growing Your Business” and “Managing Human
Resources.” The series was open and informative,
and provided opportunity for the cross
fertilization of ideas.
“To support the development of entrepreneurs and
emerging growth companies in our local
marketplace, we made a decision to start this
initiative,” stated Maxwell Dodd, Director,
Airtel Business. “Bringing our in-house
expertise directly to our communities enables
these new businesses and innovators to take
advantage of a free and educational service often
tailored to support their industry needs and we
have been fortunate to attract so many new and
innovative SMEs. Each provides invaluable trade
and market perspective on the trending issues
affecting the way we all do business.”
Lucy Quist Managing Director of Airtel Ghana said:
“The role of a business leader isn’t an easy
one, with increasing demands to reduce costs and
increase efficiency whilst staying ahead of
strategic issues. We know how challenging it is to
put your working day aside to focus on innovation,
so we’ve designed these sessions with the busy
SME in mind. Over a great breakfast, we have
provided some key learnings on topical issues
which confront you every day. We are thrilled to
have our employees lead this series, and continue
in our mission to provide an easily accessible
service that supports entrepreneurs, builds
business, and ultimately generates positive
momentum within our economy.”
During the event, guests also had the opportunity
to network one-on-one with their peers and Airtel
Staff subject matter experts.
The event also included tips from Airtel Ghana, on
unlocking revenue, using social media, and
creating the ultimate sales and marketing
machine.
This networking event comes at a time when
businesses are looking for a cutting edge that
will make a difference, putting them a step ahead
of the competition.
