    So he just put the phone down on me .... How not to get a sale

    I hate pushy sales like that. don't thinking discounting is a bad thing but people forcing you to decide on the spot are set off alarm bells in my mind. Sounds like he should leave the sales to his team. I've recently had some carpentry work done. would highly recommend you try...

    National Fuel Protest 22nd June 2008

    Amazing how the fuel costs are spiralling. £1.18 now at my local filling station for a litre of standard unleaded.. I know there is a lot more to it than most of us understand and is to do with international market forces at play but I think it scandalous how the big fuel corps are posting...

    It's Thursay 13th - Anyone been Fasthosted?

    All valid points and I was definitely not without an element of blame - automatic renewel makes perfect sense and is something I run in my own business. I think the main issue for me was not being able to speak to anyone at Fasthosts when I needed to clarify what had happened. They had a...

    Franchising .. well, kind of..

    I can see how this could work if you find the right partners for your territories but it could go wrong as others have said if not.. all it takes is one bad apple..... You could perhaps get them (not sure what other word to use if they're not franchisees- licensees?) to sign an exclusivity...

    Promotional gifts

    that's genius. and it cost them probably similar to what it would've cost to do a folder or a fancy pen or something like that. brilliant.

    Promotional gifts

    I've always thought of the usual suspects pens, mugs, mousemats, etc when thinking of promotional gifts or merchandise but I've recently found out just how competative and developed the industry is. I have featured a local business called Keylogo on my website and they have literally thousands...

    It's Thursay 13th - Anyone been Fasthosted?

    domain renewed for 2 years when I assumed it wouldn't.. = sucker :eek: possibility of getting a refund = 0 = suckered :mad: managed to at least secure a new domain registration with email service for two years. = slight improvement. removal of credit card details and confirmation in...

    It's Thursay 13th - Anyone been Fasthosted?

    sucker? nice one. never said I was happy -just said I at least got something in return which was a very slight improvement on my previous post. by rights and in small print I was entitled to nothing. thought it worthwhile to mention on forum for any other suckers out there who might be in...

    It's Thursay 13th - Anyone been Fasthosted?

    to be fair they have agreed to give me a domain credit - so although I didn't get a refund I have now registered another web address I had my eye on and plan to launch later this year. The chap I spoke to was quite helpful but it must be said it was tough getting through to someone.

    It's Thursay 13th - Anyone been Fasthosted?

    I registered a domain two years ago- paid by credit card. never really used the site in the end I thought I'd let it expire and forgot about it. I did log in once and when I checked what details it had on record the console said ''you have no valid card'' so I assumed all was in order and I...
