    Weather and sales ?

    I've got to agree. This week we've had a mini heatwave and our retail units have taken a bit of a hit. People are outside enjoying the good weather. Our internet sales have been a little slow also. I think that come the weekend though people will come back in to do some much needed retail...

    Magazine Advertising Costs

    Always wait till deadlines are near and ask for late space. Sometimes you may get more space for the same money otherwise you might get greatly reduced rates. The last thing they want is empty space. On the other hand if you don't get lucky and you wanted to advertise you may lose out!!

    Email marketing - how often ?

    For us we contact customers every 6-8 weeks with various offers. I think every few days is too much. I get emails from certain companies every few days and they go straight in the bin. Some of these companies are very hard to unsubscribe from also!!!

    I think I'm going to need a professional SEO!

    Find somebody who will first of all help you determine what you really need. I've had companies give me what I ask for in terms of specific wants because that's what I thought I needed. Only after the service had been delivered did I realise that other options would have been preferable. The...

    Rude Receptionists- Telemarketing

    Doctor's receptionists are prime candidates for rudeness. I know they are under pressure but then that is the job that they have chosen. I think they forget that they are not the doctor and that the person that they are talking, often down to are in many instances worried or concerned. If they...

    How quickly do you respond sales enquiries?

    The sooner the better. I run a personalised laser engraving company and last year managed to obtain a couple of pretty large orders. Within 24 hrs of receiving the enquiry I had a sample on their desk. This attention to their enquiry got me the business. Always try and deliver earlier than...

    Suggestions About Hiring a Sales Agent

    What I meant is that the Post Office could possibly be interested in your products. They sell wheelchair accessories but have to purchase them through a third party. Maybe a conversation with them may lead to more.
