Also on the show this week, how do you go about getting free publicity and what do you do with it when you get it? Listen as Paul (a former journalist) helps you get the most out of the traditional ‘press release’
There’s also a fascinating conversation with an E-Learning expert – it’s an area of huge growth and you’ll discover how your MSP can benefit
