Over 170+ Aspiring Entrepreneurs in the Baltics Gained Valuable Business Knowledge in WSI’s Business Opportunity Seminar Series
WSI Corporate Organized a Business Seminar Series in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to Discuss the Ins and Outs of Starting a Franchise Business.
Toronto, Canada, March 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Ranked by Entrepreneur Magazine as the world’s #1 Internet marketing franchise, WSI organized a 3-city seminar series in the Baltics on March 1st to 5th to educate aspiring entrepreneurs on how to operate a successful franchise business. More than 170 entrepreneurs assembled in Tallin, Estonia; Riga, Latvia; and Vilnius, Lithuania to learn the ins and outs of how to run a profitable franchise, as well as the revenue opportunities available through the WSI franchise system.
Ron McArthur, president of WSI, says, “Franchising is a fairly new phenomenon in the Baltics, so WSI’s goal through our business seminar series was to introduce the concept and benefits of franchising to the attendees. In today’s economic challenges where lay-offs are becoming more and more frequent, many former long-time corporate employees have embarked on starting their own business. However, there are many advantages to joining a franchise, such as benefiting from an established brand, proven system and network of support. Our business seminar series helped aspiring entrepreneurs understand the opportunities associated with franchising.”
The WSI Master Franchisee in the Baltics, Armin Tull, facilitated the seminar series. Ray MacNeil, International Franchise Director at WSI Head Office in Toronto, Canada, participated in the events to give attendees a 360-degree overview of a typical franchise system and the opportunities of WSI’s Internet marketing franchise.
Ray MacNeil, International Franchise Director at WSI Corporate, says, “It was a pleasure to see the enthusiasm of the attendees who attended the seminars and learned about the freedom and control of owning their own business. They were especially impressed with the revenue potential that a WSI Internet marketing franchise can offer. According to ZenithOptimedia, this year, Internet advertising is expected to reach $13 million USD in Estonia, $12.9 million in Latvia and $18.9 million in Lithuania. WSI has seen a considerable increase in the number of Internet marketing franchise offices opening around the world and I believe the Baltics is on the verge of seeing franchising growth in the years to come.”
The WSI franchise opportunity includes one of the most complete and comprehensive training and certification programs available, along with a dynamic business coaching and support program custom-tailored to meet the unique needs of each new franchisee.
