Walen School - Learn Marketing

[MacWalen]

Hi everyone,

We will have a free marketing class at our Walen school in Times Square, next to Asok BTS station. The class is this coming Monday, 6th of June at 7 pm on the 24th floor. We have 30 seats available so let me know if you wanted to join. I will share some of my 10 years experience with you. Things I teach can be used in most businesses. I am running those classes in different cities and there is a growing interest in marketing as it is a backbone of any business.

Walen School - learn marketing!

Coming soon

in DCS system change to actual information for user and partners?

last time i ask about this 1,5 month ago and now not see progress

elementary 3 page not have info about: how learn, how pay, how earn

i realy dont understand this marketing =(

i can buy Adwords in Google, but if i'm write in ads link to DCS, no one user dont will register in DCS becouse first words every normal user: wow, what is it? where i'm? i nothing dont understand... i go other website...

i not have time and money for same expiriens

i hope soon this pages will be have info about learning, payment, and other

but its "soon" how long time, i dont know... 1 week, 1 month, 1 year?..

very good example for marketing - http://www.marketing...ding-pages.html - if we talk about "international buisiness without border"

same biz has very small but very important secret: not have good landing page = not have customers (im dont say about customers who looking EDVisa - they loocking school only where more cheaper price)

10 years experience - very good. but i think if you have before good marketing plan ang good landing page - you could do it for 1 year...

When will you train your teachers in Pattaya school how to teach? or better yet when will you stop employing bar girls in Pattaya branch? or at least when will you make sure that your teachers can actually read Thai better then the students?

Your Marketing is great, shame your retention rate is non existent, even though retention and repeat customers is part of marketing mix.

Had a look at it, very useful. Thanks.

Regarding the developments of our DCS website, we are working on it. It is a very advanced mechanism so it takes time.

We do not employ bar girls. I am not sure how you came to this conclusion.

Regarding the quality of teaching, we do give guarantee on our lessons. If lessons you attended were not good enough please complain as soon as possible so we can look into it and if the need be fix things, also free lessons will be given as a replacement. If you tell me this many months later there is not much I can do.

It is not unusual in Thailand to have rotation of staff. People quit for various reasons or are fired.

I will make a survey among our existing students to see how they feel about the present team of teachers. Perhaps not everybody feels the same way you do. In any case, thank you for your feedback. I do not spend as much time in Pattaya as I do in Bangkok but that is not an excuse to have inferior quality of teaching at our Pattaya branch.

Walen School - feedback much appreciated

By seeing one in the bar previously is one sure way, or bar-talk English language which is used is another give away and inability to read Thai just to add to the mix.

Maybe she was just having a beer? No idea, even if that is the case I was not aware of that.

Absolutely!

And a foreigner boyfriend double or triple her age is just a distant relative or a step father

[MacWalen]

Will make a rule for teachers, no boyfriends twice your age, especially foreigners. Hope this is not against the Thai labor law.

Both my wife and I attended classes in Bangkok a couple years ago and I couldn't have more high praise for the staff. All of the teachers spoke GREAT English and remember one teacher actually was a lawyer before signing on to teach. Not sure why the standards would be much different in Pattaya. Even reception spoke great English and I was surprised to meet the women I spoke to on the phone in person because I had no idea she was Thai by her lack of accent. But really can't praise the teachers in BKK enough .. they were great and really seemed to enjoy their jobs and working with the students.

Edit:

Maybe other schools should also have a rule about Expat teachers not being able to go to bars and dating local women 1/2 their age as well as needing to speak fluent Thai

To all those who came, thank you very much. It takes time to get good at marketing but if you keep learning and persevere you will see amazing results in if you do not quit.

Those who joined us on this Bangkok forum from Pattaya are invited to a class in Pattaya This coming Wednesday at 6.30 pm. If you are tired of not having money perhaps the answer is to learn marketing. You will benefit for the rest of your life.
