    Xero accounting package

    Xero is a nice platform and we've been using it now for a while but those costs seem pretty extreme. I'm not sure why you would need training when you can access lots online for free.

    Probation period and pregnancy

    You've been using this forum long enough to know how frequently people post on here pretending not to be the person their asking questions about. I admit to having missed a couple of the follow up comments which made it clear it wasn't the case. Regardless, just like your post (and mine now)...

    Probation period and pregnancy

    Considering you've not bothered contributing anything to this thread, why exactly are you here Alan? The original post struck me like it was the pregnant person asking anonymously for themselves. Keep up with your great contribution to UKBF anyway

    Probation period and pregnancy

    Congratulations on your bundle of joy (assuming you are posting about you). You don't have to tell your employer you're pregnant until the 15th week before your baby is due.

    Staff Paid for Closing

    What happens if there are customers in the shop until bang on closing time and they do need to stay for 20-30 minutes extra? You can't keep changing it and you can't expect to have it as unpaid or your employees are going to feel unfairly treated. Is business such a struggle that you have to...

    How to find companies to sell online leads to?

    Would it not make sense to go to the websites of the companies you want to sell the leads to and their competitors and see what information they are asking for on their forms? I would expect you'll get a much better chance of selling the leads if they are fully qualified.

    Problem with Yell.com

    I really don't know why anyone signs up and trusts Yell.com. I have heard these stories time and time again from businesses using them.

    We own the copyright but not the domain name

    Assume you are talking about Trademark and not copyright. Either way, if they owned the domain first then I'm not sure why you feel you would have any rights to it at all?

    Tips and advice needed

    Dress to match your prospects, and if in doubt, dress in between. Shorts sound like a complete no-no to me unless you're selling on a hot summers day, and even then they need to be a smart pair of shorts. Discounting for a quick sale is an old school technique often used to push people into a...

    Anybody using Click Funnels?

    It's okay if you have no clue on how to build your own basic website, but if you do, it's not worth the money.
