    Clients needed for care temporary staffing agency

    It's only easy if it reaches the right person, you present what you offer in the "right" way, you have something they want for a cost they're happy to pay and can meet their expectations. And this is where some companies fall short. So, what might be "easy" for you, is not for others. So where...

    Clients needed for care temporary staffing agency

    Wouldn't say it was "easy" Nick, it just requires a certain approach and market research, and this can require experience and knowledge of the sector or within sales and marketing - of which many smaller and start up recruitment companies don't have - many set up to recruit for industries they...

    Additional income ideas

    Some children are in bed by 9pm, giving a couple of hours time to earn £25 perhaps 3 evenings a week, or when the kids are at a club or lesson, doing homework, watching TV or having a day out with another friend and their family. Sometimes kids pop off to the supermarket with one adult and can...

    What’s the best way to source for cleaning contracts?

    I'm talking about proper contracts, ones looking for a long term cleaner, set hours each week. Schools, offices, venues, restaurants, bars... I'm sure @KAFE Cleaning can use their judgment from an initial conversation and decide. I'm not saying rock up with a mop and bucket, say "hello, can I...

    What’s the best way to source for cleaning contracts?

    Offer a couple of "not happy, don't pay" hours, let the potential customer inspect, and if they're happy, they'll pay you, and you secure a contract.

    New Business Idea - Thoughts Needed Please!

    For 15+ years I only had a website for a portfolio, never social media, never paid for any online marketing. I physically went from town to town, different one every 2 or 3 days. I would walk in, look around, spot things I felt were missing or in need of updating - I looked at the signage too...

    Additional income ideas

    I have a couple of options for you, especially if you have 2 computer screens, although splitting the screen is an option too. Would mostly be sourcing data from websites and popping it into excel - nothing exciting but an hour or two here and there once the kids go to sleep or when they're out...

    Can anyone recommend an email marketing tool for my requirements?

    Brevo is/was the main one we use, mainly because when it was Sendinblue, but in the past month or so, we've been using Benchmark which is great option, too.

    Can anyone recommend an email marketing tool for my requirements?

    When using Benchmark to send out our emails, any unsubscribers or bounces are removed from the list we create with Benchmark so the next time you use the same list, it doesn't send them further emails. Then I copy each email and find it in Excel, and place "unsubscribed" next to it and...

    Can anyone recommend an email marketing tool for my requirements?

    The database we have contains 20+ columns of data and thousands of contacts. The system won't open the uploaded database, go through them all and edit that for us. Also, to receive a list of unsubscribed contacts that can go back into the database in the correct order, it unfortunately isn't a...

    Can anyone recommend an email marketing tool for my requirements?

    I meant, if you have a database (Excel for example), and someone unsubscribes, you should remove them from that database should you use it with another platform in future.
