Training Software Company Launches Social Networking Site for Instructors, Professionals, and Learning Providers

The CourseMax Online Community offers learning businesses powerful social networking tools to drive training sales and customer satisfaction.

Baltimore, MD, March 4, 2009 - CourseMax (http://coursemax.com), a provider of on-demand software for training businesses announced today the launch of the CourseMax Learning Community.  With the economy reeling due to the global recession, training companies are searching for new ways to find and retain customers.  Training providers can sign up for a free account in minutes. 

The CourseMax Learning Community is a place where business professionals, instructors, and training providers can find learning products and services, build their network, and do business.  The new social networking features allow a training provider to publish their class schedules and also provide a discussion forum, blog, and media library where they can upload video, whitepapers, and pictures.  All of this community content is searchable on the web site and is also optimized for and indexed by all of the major search engines such as Google, Live Search, and Yahoo.

Dan Blake, President of CourseMax, cites the need for training companies to be innovative in a down economy.  "The fact is that the US training market was down in 2008 and it's going to get worse before it gets better.  But that doesn't mean that a good training company can't increase revenues and profits by 10% or more in 2009.  When the markets pull out of this, and they will, there will be more opportunity than ever before.  Innovative training companies that try new things and take advantage of technology to connect with their customers will rise to the top."

Training providers can use the CourseMax Community for free but they can also sign up for CourseMax CRM, a Customer Relationship Management solution with features designed specifically for training businesses.  CourseMax CRM is integrated seamlessly with the community for simple schedule publishing, online order capture, tracking of online interactions, and web analytics.
