    In my experience, if you're not trading to a sufficient level then it's very much about who you know and what your credentials are (work history etc). Thanks to @billmccallum1957 for sharing the phone list. This will be best way to try and win them over if you can't get a warm intro / show...

    Where to find partners/salespeople for a new SaaS product?

    Okay so that's between £50 - £150 Per Year? Including VAT? I'm going to assume that stacks up against competitors, so.... Do you have an idea of 1) how many target catering companies there are for this product? (E.g. if this will only appeal to catering companies with 10-30 employee's or X...

    Where to find partners/salespeople for a new SaaS product?

    You sound (or read) like you'd be able to sell it yourself and if you're still at concept stage, you're probably better off talking to some of these owners yourself to try and gauge appetite for the product. I would have a clear idea of pricing structure and what that will include, in case you...

    Trouble with just eat someone please give me advice

    Agreed - get your own website! An app would also be cool too but so long as your website's mobile responsive you should be fine. I'd focus on that as first priority. Make sure it looks and functions professionally and that you have an easy to remember domain name. There are affordable "off the...

    Trouble with just eat someone please give me advice

    @Sean ridout Don't apologise for how it's written. It all made sense - I'm with @Ian J on this one. @ineedadollar 's advice is good. A few of our locals include their own leaflet in JustEat orders and they've taught their drivers a nice, friendly, little pitch to help sell in ordering directly...

    Advertising on third party site

    Does your category have a ranking system too? If so you might have an argument but I think this is just one of those things that's out of your control. Ultimately how the directory chooses to form it's sales packages is up to them. If you've paid them for a full year with the understanding...

    Advertising on third party site

    Is it a review or an advertorial that your competitor now has on the site? My understanding is that media owners have the right to refuse advertisers service (even if they don't tell you the real reasons for doing so). If they've pulled all the user generated reviews and started doing sponsored...

    Pizza Vending Machine. To be or not to be...a business?

    Look at FEBO's model (Dutch Company)... They have a vending machine style offering or you can go to traditional counter, like McDonald's.

    Business account with Lloyd s - advice would be appreciated?

    You should also discuss it with Lloyds so you can understand their policies/criteria for flagging suspicious payments. That way you can make an educated decision about whether it's the right account for you.

    Jury service and holiday entitlement

    Ah okay - I'd definitely give ACAS a call - suspect it will come down to wording on contract.

    Jury service and holiday entitlement

    Apologies - my understanding is they do not accrue extra holiday/aren't entitled to pay from you, but you'll need to check if they're still entitled to normal allowance (I suspect they would be even if not working). There is a government link but it doesn't clarify on that point specifically so...

    Jury service and holiday entitlement

    ethical PR are correct - check with ACAS or you can call the jury service people themselves. From memory it's the employee who ends up taking the hit, if the case does run on, as they're only entitled to basic compensation. You can also write to the jury service people to request your employee...
