    Over 18 checkbox on my website

    It's not redundant as such but it's not enough Age verification needs to happen at point of sale with all age-related products from tobacco/vaping, adult site etc etc. I'm not sure it's yet a legal obligation enforceable by penalties but, if not, it's very soon to be upon us. I'm currently...

    Moving from Kashflow to... ?

    Thanks. Multi-currency is essential. Doing much of my work on the continent now and more recently, Australia. I think I'm going to give Zoho a bash. I use their expenses App and it works fine, so will see with this. Their basic plan at £7pm provides all I need and more and they have a free...

    Ditto. Just found and done the same! Thanks for your help

    Moving from Kashflow to... ?

    I hadn't looked at FreeAgent but have now. It's actually slightly higher than Kashflow, where it'll be £18 +vat pm from next month. Probably doesn't sound much but considering it started at £8, it's the feeling of being slowly taken advantage of that I'm not too keen on. I find it arrogant...

    Moving from Kashflow to... ?

    There are may reports available now. I think I've managed to extract all or most of what I need. Thanks anyway

    Moving from Kashflow to... ?

    I've been using Kashflow for some time now but hardly use any of their features. With their constant price hikes, I've toyed with moving elsewhere before but have always stayed as it was easier. I'd reduce to their 'Starter' package but I'd lose recurring invoices, which I want, and more...

    Commission only salespeople

    Hi Liam, You’re way off base I think. No one experienced would be interested, so you’ll just attract the less capable, more gullible ones who’ll be gone before you know it. The more experienced know too much to be fooled by what you’ve said - a sale a day won’t happen unless you’re providing at...

    Commission only salespeople

    Commission only is fine, as long as a) the opportunity is there (and real), and b) the deal is right. Too low a percentage and, as has been said, you'll attract the poorer ones due to their ignorance and get a high churn rate. Provide a good deal, you'll attract better people and they'll stay. 100%.

    Visa advice

    Thanks, Mike. I'm not planning on staying for that long at one time but there's a good chance I might need more than 90 days in the 2 year period allowed. I can always look at that later, I guess, once I've got a better idea. Someone told me I wouldn't be able to sell or sign anyone up on an...

    Visa advice

    I'm looking to visit America seeking hosts for a company I'm doing some work with. I'm not looking to take any money off anyone - hosts can sign up free and will never pay anything. They only potentially earn. I believe I just need an ESTA (although that lasts only 90 days). Do I need anything...

    Selling in America - Visa advice

    I'm working with an Italian company and have been around the UK and parts of Europe for them looking for hosts for their service. They'd now like me to visit the States. Do I need anything more than an ESTA? I'm not looking to take any money off anyone - hosts can sign up free and will never...

    Payment Terminal - so confusing! Help Please!?

    From what I've seen, for sure. I looked into the market a while ago and they looked very good in comparison to most. Certainly the least likely to be looking to screw you.

    Payment Terminal - so confusing! Help Please!?

    I don't know much but have heard very good things about Handepay. The little I have heard makes them certainly better than PaymentSense.

    Warm leads email

    You don't think they'd notice or want to open up an email regarding an event they are organising? Are you having a laugh? :D That said, I'd tweak it to say something like 'Enquiring about your xxxxx event'

    Warm leads email

    Given they are the organisers of events and you are looking to buy into one of their events, why on earth do you think they wouldn't respond? As Fisicx says, just keep it simple. Something along the lines of: SUBJECT:- EVENT NAME AND DATE Dear.... I understand you are the organiser of...
