On 15th November 2011, we’ll be exhibiting at Fresh Business Thinking LIVE! at Old Billingsgate in London.
I’ll be there with our experienced exhibitionist Graham Cox and Sandeep Gadhavi.
From the blurb on their website: Continue...
It’s Friday, yay!
Friday on Twitter is “Follow Friday”.
The idea is that you suggest to your followers who else they should follow by tweeting their names and putting using the hashtag #FollowFriday or the shorter #FF.
But more often than not #FF tweets are useless and don’t result in any new...
On Tuesday evening we attended the black tie (or pink tie in our case) dinner for the announcement of the winners of the 2011 Software Satisfaction Awards.
We won the web-based accounting software category back in 2007 and again in 2008.
In 2009 we won both the web-based and general...
When’s the last time you wrote something with pen and paper?
My handwriting is appalling and after a few lines my fingers ache.
The reason for that is because of how infrequently I need to actually write with pen and paper.
Like most other people, I’m more likely to type than write...
QR Codes are popping up all over the place.
I’m told they’ve been very popular in Japan for a while now.
I really can’t see what the big deal is. But then I thought that about Twitter when I first saw it.
I wouldn’t want to be late to the party if there is a real marketing benefit to be...
How nice would it be to have a system that automatically raised your invoices, emailed them to the customer AND took the payment from their bank account? Well, now you can.
This is something truly special, unique and incredibly useful. I believe it’s the first time something like this has...
I’ve got no personal financial interest in this company.
I don’t know the founder, I don’t know the investors.
I just think it’s a seriously useful new product that more people should know about.
DueDil pulls together information from a variety of sources (Companies House, CrunchBase ...
Back when there were just 3 or 4 channels on TV it was easy for a commercial broadcaster like ITV to deliver a lot of eyeballs to advertisers. Then two things happened.
First, the proliferation of TV channels meant that the eyeballs were spread much more widely across many channels.
Then...
And I thought it was just me and my personal insecurities. But apparently not.
I tweeted something that hit a nerve for some and resonated with others.
I’d just seen Richard Branson start a sentence with “As an entrepreneur…” and I said Continue reading...
Statistically there are far more people on the planet that won’t bother reading this blog post than those that will. So you, dear reader, are in a very small minority.
So listed here are the top 7 reasons why you shouldn’t bother reading this blog post:
1) Continue Reading...
Most (but not all) of us now know that it’s not a good idea, when emailing lots of people, to put all of their addresses in the To or CC field.
Use BCC so you’re not sharing email addresses without the owners permission.
But there’s another email etiquette ‘rule’ that many people still...
Whilst browsing a listing of tech startups the other day I was struck by how randomly generated their names and pitches seemed to be.
So I couldn’t resist the urge to quickly throw together a random startup generator.
And for extra measure I’ve also included a celebrity investor. To see this...
For years now people have been commenting on how we’re cycling back to the mainframe/dumb terminal set up of yesteryear. And they were continue reading...
This is the 6th and final video in this series of broadcasts by our Serial Uber Guru Tugg Gently. Click here to see the video.
In a recent post on this blog I made comments about Phillip “Tugg” Gently that could have been read to suggest that he is not worthy of the title Business Guru.
My tweets in relation to the blog post were not in any way intended to suggest that Mr Gently is “a twat”.
When I used the words...
When it comes to marketing insight, we’re often told to look to the likes of Apple or Coca-Cola.
Less often mentioned are companies likes Proctor & Gamble or L’Oreal. But these giants have marketing down to a fine art. They need to because they’re operating in a very competitive market where...
The tide seems to be turning against our entrepreneurial friend, Tugg Gently.
It’d be fair to say he’s been in choppy waters since his first video “All Aboard To Profit Island” and last weeks episode on Social Media Success.
I’ve seen many comments, such as... Continue reading
Below is an exchange of messages on LinkedIn. Continue Reading...
As I’m writing this on Monday evening, London is having it’s third night of riots and fires.

Well maybe here are some clues Continue Reading...
