    How to deal with others doing your job?

    The thing is if you don't ask questions, you'll have no answers! No don't march in like you're on a mission, just ask if you can talk you'll find once you have made the initial approach everything will be answered. You may not like all of the answers but don't just do nothing. Let's just say...

    Have you tried asking? Maybe they don't realize how this is affecting you. One of the biggest problems in any company is communication.

    Can't even give a website away!

    3 months, after I left the company was shut down by Trading Standards (nothing to do with me). Although they operated within the law, the company was using underhand techniques, and pressure sales. I wouldn't say you were a bad lot. It's like everything else, you get a few bad apples in every...

    Can't even give a website away!

    You're right, it did sound like I was totally dismissing sales. Sorry to all decent sales people, I fully understand that sales have a massive impact on a companies turnover. I'm not bothered about the rejection, I'm married!!!:D And I think I sell myself OK when I need to, that's because I...

    Can't even give a website away!

    No I'm not going to work on my sales skills; I tried to sell ice to the Eskimos once, ended up buying holiday shares!! :cool: I mainly rely on word of mouth, although I do have a little go at an email campaign now and again which yields results.

    Can't even give a website away!

    This is not always the case though, I have a client that had a really naff wp site. The site was managed by a large web firm (probably the site was too small for them to bother with as they were very helpful in transferring it to me). When I showed what her site could look like, she went ahead...

    Can't even give a website away!

    I was asked to look at it by someone that knows her, (not that well eh?). Her knowledge of computers let alone the internet is bare minimum. Whilst I don't doubt her attitude, I do believe she was very naive and trusting the 1st time round, which is why she was ripped off, IMO. I do have some...
