    Kitchen companies with field sales reps/designers.

    Why specifically for kitchen companies? How many kitchen companies are there in the uk that have field sales reps, and how many of those in turn would see enough value in this to pay for it? Seems like a slightly random reason to try and use AI for something to me.

    'In Post' adverts

    Was there ever any resolution on this @Ozzy ? I mean I appreciate we're talking "first world problems" here.... but it is irritating!!

    Printing company changing lanes - How do I get local B2B orders?

    I've bought merchandise for years in my last couple of jobs. There are hundreds of websites to get them from at prices that I've no doubt will beat yours - and there's now great online tools for uploading logo, visualising the print etc. so there's not even any worry any more about how it will...

    Farm shop help

    So can you not do a wholesale deal with them and sell in smaller quantities alongside your other produce? For the people who only want a pack of sausages or a couple of steaks but will buy them alongside your fruit, veg & other produce?

    Farm shop help

    Agreed on doing this one step at a time - the logical one being the farm shop first. You're not going to get regular customers popping in to the education centre, and once they've seen it, they've seen it. The shop gives you a chance to get regular repeat custom. Once that's established, the...

    Does this Sh** actually work?

    This was essentially going to be my 7 word reply to this thread 😂 It will, however, appeal to a small number of people in my view. Not serious grafters, and not the business owners. But the kinds of people in mid-size to large companies who somehow manage to engineer their way into essentially...

    Starting an online business which sells cleaning fluid for glasses.

    Starting a business in a very specific product that you know nothing about, purely because you've "found a good domain for it" is a recipe for disaster, I'm afraid.

    Event Floorplan/Layout

    Yes we exhibit (but also wander round) our largest one in Frankfurt every 2 years - I have often tried (and failed) to explain to people just how big it really is and why you're so shattered after a few days there! Also can be funny when people come for the first time and don't realise - you...

    Event Floorplan/Layout

    From experience as both an exhibitor and visitor at trade fair type events (similar but different to yours, I guess) I just want it to 'flow'. As a visitor I want to be able to wander around logically from start to finish up and down and up and down, or left and right and left and right. Perhaps...

    Conveyancer communication expectations – am I being unreasonable?

    Hmm. Thanks both. It is interesting that with anyone I speak to about this (or even prior to this) the consensus is generally "they're all f*cking useless/a nightmare/hard work" :rolleyes:😂 The irritiation a little with this is I'm not even waiting on info that they need to get from someone...

    Conveyancer communication expectations – am I being unreasonable?

    Yes very similar 😂😂 like I say, at first I almost thought it was a reassuring thing - almost like a temporary out of office that they’ve put on due to unprecedented number of emails. Seemingly not! The “being treated as post” is also irking me somewhat, probably irrationally. I feel like...

    Conveyancer communication expectations – am I being unreasonable?

    Not strictly business as such so thought I'd post in Time Out. I’m currently in the process of buying a house and wanted to get a sense check from others who’ve been through this or work in professional services. Especially as this is my first house purchase so perhaps I'm being unreasonable...

    UKBF Entrepreneurs Christmas Lunch & Afters

    Hope you had a great one! I decided not to risk it as had a meeting that I couldn't re-arrange in the Midlands at 9:30 and it's normal for me to be stuck with that customer for a good 2 or 3 hours. I was vindicated in my decision when I didn't get away from there until gone 12! 😂 Next year I...

    UKBF Entrepreneurs Christmas Lunch & Afters

    I am trying to reshuffle my week that week to make it. Even more so now I've seen the venue... if I'm not mistaken is that the restaurant with "Mr Raj" who is all over TikTok?!? He appears in various videos getting out of expensive cars and strutting into the place like he's royalty.... and I've...

    Getting Zero Orders nightly with my Just Eats menu and tablet

    I previously had a food business on one of the delivery platforms and we had orders pinging from day one. However, we were open in the mornings, where we had almost no competition, and lunchtimes where it was still limited competition other than KFC, McDonalds etc. But what also helped I think...
