Often it is too time consuming and costly to complete. Bayer Amplify provides an easy and free solution to training and Australian pest companies are taking advantage of this.<\/p>\n<p>Bayer industry experts put the courses together, on topics including: ant identification, best practice in cockroach, ant and spider control, commercial pest control, termite bait installation and product application. All courses are delivered online.<\/p>\n<h2>Professionally\u00a0designed marketing tools<\/h2>\n<p>Bayer Amplify is perfect for small pest control companies seeking a new way to grow their business. These companies often do not have the funds or means to access the marketing skills available to large manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>This program offers Bayer customers a range of professionally designed, customisable marketing materials, covering information on general pest, termite and rodent control services, spider identification charts and much more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Bayer Amplify, members have easy access at the click of a button to their own print-ready artwork, helping in promoting their business,\u201d said Mr Swarz.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Grow\u00a0<\/strong><b>with the business development program<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Launched last year, the Business Development program was quickly adopted by many companies, helping them to gain marketing traction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe conducted website analysis, mystery shops and created marketing packs for companies who registered. This resulted in many companies making changes to their website and business, allowing them to more effectively turn website traffic and calls into customers,\u201d says Mr Swarz.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the Business Development program, available to Bayer Amplify members, offers a series of free workshops to members who sign up. These workshops include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How to create your own one-page marketing plan on winning customers to develop and grow your business<\/li>\n<li>The \u2018what, why and how\u2019 on web content to capture customers from your website<\/li>\n<li>Get social: how to use social media to increase awareness of your services.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The workshops are down-to-earth and practical, with no prior marketing knowledge necessary. Bayer helps even the most non-tech-savvy pest controllers tailor a plan of what they need to be doing now, and how.<\/p>\n<p>These three workshops are equal in value to $7500 worth of expert advice and knowledge, available to Bayer Amplify members for free.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bayeramplifypest.com.au\/\">Bayer Amplify<\/a> website and register for free to gain immediate access to these exclusive tools and resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bayer&#8217;s online training platform offers pest managers the chance to upskill and improve their knowledge of the trade \u2013 all for free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":6034,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"Bayer's online training platform offers pest managers the chance to upskill and improve their knowledge of the trade \u2013 all for free.","_seopress_robots_index":"yes","_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"company":[144],"pest":[],"pesticide":[],"product-service":[],"class_list":["post-2871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-professional-pest-manager-magazine","company-bayer","wpbf-post"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/133"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2871\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2871"},{"taxonomy":"company","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/company?post=2871"},{"taxonomy":"pest","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pest?post=2871"},{"taxonomy":"pesticide","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pesticide?post=2871"},{"taxonomy":"product-service","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-service?post=2871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
