May 2012, we introduced Course Category Browsing 2.0 Beta 2 — it was a very successful attempt indeed! Since the release of this new beta version, our I'mTP training partners began to receive more and more online public program registrations from our site visitors. More and more users began to support us by liking our Facebook Page. “...we just can't keep spamming our audiences' mailbox just to have them like our Facebook page when we also fail to impress them with something remarkably outstanding.”We tell ourselves that we just can't keep spamming our audiences' mailbox just to have them like our Facebook page when we also fail to impress them with something remarkably outstanding. Although such a grounded approach in growing our Facebook fans may not be as fast as conducting the paid advertising campiagn on Facebook, we still believe that one day, we'll be able to reach the number that enough to keep our business growing steadily and healthily.

By learning through the success of our Course Category Browsing 2.0 Beta 2, we began to plan for a bigger step for our Training Provider Profile 2.0 — as we offer course category browsing by course title and course attributes, why not by training provider as well? There are times when certain customers have established a closer business relationship with their selective training provider and prefer to get on with them again for their future training needs. Therefore, our new training provider profile will be playing a very important role in helping our I'mTP members to improve their customer relationship management approach. Besides that, this new statistically informative company profile will also help the training providers to strategically plan for the publishing of their available training courses on MalaysiaTraining.net, not only to meet the real market demand and expectations but also to maximize their ROI and profitability as a whole.

In the next section, we'll share with you those great exciting new features of our Training Provider Profile 2.0. After that, we'll show you how to get access to these profiles as some of you may be new to our website. Lastly, we'll briefly disclose to you what will be our next coming new releases that will greatly complement the short-coming of our website's usability at overall. Meanwhile, we hope that you'll also like our new MalaysiaTraining.net Red Plaster Theme design concept, which is also being applied on our new features illustration section shown below.

Enjoy, stay conscious, and Selamat Hari Raya to all Malaysian muslims! :)

Request for in-house training or register for public training all on the same profile page

Quite often, even until today, we still keep receiving training related inquiries that came to us directly instead of our training providers. Hence, we would like to take this opportunity to further clarify the way on how you can get access to the latest version of our training providers' company profile. At this moment, there are two ways that you can access to these profiles:

1. Through course detail page

The figure on the left shows that when viewing the course detail page of any training programs, you can simply click on the training provider's company logo to access to their company profile. The training provider's company logo is always visible right below the main course title. Note that if the training program is offered by our I'mTP Professional freelance trainer, the trainer's photo will be shown instead.

2. Through specific category's program listing page

The figure on the right shows that you can actually click on the Contact [Company Name] link under the Public Program column when there is no public program available for that particular course at the moment.

Not convenient enough? See Hall of Training Providers Malaysia in the next section!

1. Trainer Profile 2.0

As we upgraded our I'mTP Corporate Members' profile, the trainer profile of our I'mTP Professional Members will not be left behind either. Although the expected features will be more or less the same as our Training Provider Profile 2.0, the look-and-feel may not be the same. However, it will definitely be in our Red Plaster theme.

2. I'mTP Business Model Re-polishing

Since one month after the launching of our I'mTP service model, many improvements had been made on many aspects, including the new policy that helps our members to strategically manage the balance among their I'mTP expenditure, sales leads generation, and their deal closing rate. With the release of our Training Provider Profile 2.0 and the upcoming Trainer Profile 2.0, we foresee that there will be more training providers and independent trainers planning to join us. If we add up the Hall of Training Providers Malaysia Beta 1, the result may be double. Therefore, in order to avoid overwhelming ourselves with excessive customer support work, we need to improve the clarity of our I'mTP subscription model before we proceed to the beta development of our 'Hall of Training Providers Malaysia'.

3. Hall of Training Providers Malaysia Beta 1

Hall of Training Providers Malaysia Beta 1 will be the most crucial and highly anticipated feature among all. It will allow our site visitors to directly access to all our training provider profiles as well as freelance trainer profiles all at one place, quickly and easily. However, we've decided to place it as the last development stage of our 2012 Roadmap for the following reasons:

• Without enriching the member's profiles first and foremost, the Hall of Training Providers Malaysia may not be able to deliver much value to the users — easy to access but not much to see.
• Without cleaning up our I'mTP service model, we may be overwhelmed ourselves with lots of customer support work while confusing our new clients with old policies.
• It doesn't make sense to build this page when we only have 2 or 3 training providers on board. With the current increasing number, now is the time.
