    A weird pricing question...

    Hi, This is a great question and one that I too have struggled with, being in the same business. Initially, I offered very cheap prices compared to the local competition. Professional videos from £199, fully filmed and edited - and the marketing was based around the low prices. Big mistake...

    Not sure what the legal/tax consequences would be for this?

    Thanks guys for this suggestion of a virtual office. What do you think regards my friend's business potentially suffering financially by simply having my marker there? Do you think that's likely or unlikely? Thank you.

    Ensuring your remote staff have made a call, any tips please?

    Thanks for all the responses! Very helpful, and appreciated. Based on what's been said, I will instead swallow the cost of a dedicated outsourcing company and try to strike a deal based on leads rather than time. @AllUpHere thanks for the tip, yes very good, and "word of mouth" is ultimately...

    Ensuring your remote staff have made a call, any tips please?

    Thanks for your response. Yes this is a good point about their business depending on it, but I should have made this clear, sorry - I am not going to a dedicated telesales company, as they charge too much, instead I am hiring a couple of people I know since this is much cheaper, but it is...

    Ensuring your remote staff have made a call, any tips please?

    Hi I am planning to outsource our telesales/cold calling (an unfortunately necessary part of our lead generation). But I am worried that the people doing this for us could easily just say they have attempted to make calls, and bill us, without actually making any calls. Does anybody have any...

    Video format approach

    I believe the other replies you've had cover most your questions and I certainly agree with making it much shorter, but another point would be to possibly include the most interesting/surprising "sound bite" from some point within the interview, right at the beginning of the edit, as a hook...

    Items to include in a promo video about a town

    Hi, As one person said already it really depends on the intended audience and therefore the message you want to deliver. If it is purely to show various locations with no specific intention, then you could hire a CAA registered and insured drone pilot to get the best coverage. Regards the...
