    Outbound call centre from scratch. How achievable is this?

    Regarding call costs you will have to find a specialist operator who deals with high mass outbound calls. That will be a serious challenge as not many operators will allow it. Operators do not take too kindly to customers floody there network with unanswered call attempts. For the amount of...

    Inconsistent Conversion Rate in Adwords

    Peter is right. You need to look at the bigger picture. Perhaps a week or month? Also is there any trend when the lower conversation occur?

    Importing sample order from china

    Well. This is where it gets interesting when importing products. Request that sender pays all taxes, duties and fees. This needs to be on all paper work. In a nut shell. If it isn't and it gets stopped at customs, then you will be charged storage fees, admin fees and so on while they contact...

    The good and bad of buying second-hand tools

    The question is. Even though they look like the real thing. Are they the real thing? Especially when it comes to safety. With batteries i'd be careful. As we all know batteries can explode and cheaper alternatives to originals and actual originals maybe made in a less safe standard to maximise...
