    Marketing Resources

    Of course Stretchy, in your book, thats the only logical solution. When someone builds an understanding of a subject from a young age, under the wing of successful people, and then continues to learn by doing. Yeah, sure, thats trolling. I'm sure that all of the world greats, also...

    Marketing Resources

    My education in the subject came from the people who taught me, personally. Working alongside others in the same office also gave me more of an education than any book will. If your successful at something, why bother changing it? Why bother reading a book, following a competitors advice, and...

    Employing obese person - health complications?

    Well, any employee under probationary period doesn't need to be given a reason. If there is no reason to give, there is no reason for to shout "discrimination". If I had no other option like this, my choice of words would be "It's not working, I have to let you go" And maybe for the next job...

    Need some sales and marketing advice

    Ok, based on 9 years of experience, in various sectors, for different companies. The best methods, out of all that I have tried (which only excludes TV advertising) are face to face, and the telephone. Once again, hundreds of successful people, in all sectors, and all even those who are now...

    No, there are actually no other methods of achieving such high conversion rates. Written down, hundreds of times, by hundreds of people, all doing different things in sales and marketing. Think of the best conversions you get in any of your services, how many people have to see, or hear your...

    Employing obese person - health complications?

    Although, if your recruiting through an agency, it would be cheaper to keep the member of staff. Considering that agencies charge 4 figure sums, plus you have to train the new employee, who will make mistakes starting out, both cost money. At the end of the day, it's cheaper, nicer and a...

    Need some sales and marketing advice

    How many people did you call Ian? I find that over the phone I normally get 1 potential buyer for every 100 I speak to, face to face being more efficient with 1 in 10. There is no other method of marketing that produces those kind of results. No, it isn't easy, yes, it consumes a lot of...

    Employing obese person - health complications?

    Have you tried speaking to him about his fitness? If he is initially good at his job, it's in both your interests to get him into a healthy condition, physically and mentally. Maybe agree to go with him to the gym, or pay towards the membership, anything to reduce possible excuses would...

    Face to face will bring you the best results, but that wears out your shoes pretty fast. The telephone is the 2nd best option, but could run up a phone bill.
