    Windows 10. It's been a while now

    On clean installs it works like a dream with no issues, on existing Win 7 et al a few issues but nothing too difficult or unfixable. We don't use Outlook so not had that as an issue. Like it and its features. Not keen on reading about conspiracy theories in a business context, fact is data is...

    The greatest ever LinkedIn message!

    The ones where someone has clearly taken time and effort in ensuring what they want us to look at is a potentially good fit and not just a case of pestering. Random requests, however politely put together will not get a response from us at any time.

    Architectural Technologist UK - No Formal Qualifications

    You would need to talk to some architectural firms or in house departments that you would want to work for and ask them about their policies. I would also look at the entrance qualifications of the junior roles on places like Reed and Indeed, many of those are seeking CAD experience only and do...

    Feedback from small business owners

    We did use a VA network but over time the control and quality of the work slipped and it was better and much more cost effective for us to use the services of someone who wanted part time work. If you can sort this out when scaling up and still make a profit then it could work. The moment...

    Referral Gifts

    A cynical answer but having researched this at length for some clients the most popular answer is cash, a payment to the referrer and a discount/offer/special treatment to those referred.

    Diabetes Boot Camps

    It's such a political hot topic that its unsurprising there is such a focus on it. GPs were financially incentivised some years for various conditions. COPD, Asthma, Diabetes and a long list all became cash generators for various triggers. There is no evidence that this has improved care...

    Lime one legal...

    :p I think the OP will find lots of legal suppliers on here and elsewhere are turning more and more to fixed cost and flexible services. Main thing is the job gets done.

    Do you use direct debit as a payment option?

    We use more than one option, Go Cardless, Paypal, BACS and normal bank account. Go Cardless is excellent and very fairly priced. A DD set up takes a little time 4 working days or so, then you get a notice to say its been collected then payment into your account within 2 days from collection.

    30 Post rule

    I don't think it matters as long as there is a process, which clearly there is if its flagged up, to sort it out.

    30 Post rule

    I totally understand the reasons for this but it would have been nice to have been told about it at the point of payment. Nothing is mentioned in the sign up of there being a delay in being able to post links or have a signature in place.
