    Employing a Leaflet Distributor

    We do our own (2 of us) when we get a quiet day. Advantages: we know for sure that they've been delivered, we can target individual streets or areas, and as already mentioned, there are exercise benefits. Disadvantages: can be 'hit & miss' with the time, ie you have a quiet day one week so...

    Some Yellow Pages advice please.

    In my experience, YP aren't interested in discounts, don't seem to care if you advertise with them or not, have a poor Customer Service department......reps are rude & clueless, I could go on. Still use 'em but have cut it down a lot.

    Using a mobile as your main contact number

    I have a landline with an answering machine giving the mobile number. Both numbers appear side by side in the adverts, etc. - I don't think people mind your 'mainly used' number being a mobile, as long as they can see the existance of a landline as well. I tried the 'divert to mobile' route, but...

    Can an online business run without a phone number?

    Same here, I would say it's better to have one than not, even if an ansa machine picks it up sometimes.

    A point in the right direction please.

    Go with your instincts, & don't let fear of the unknown hold you back. Good Luck.

    Business images.. are they right?

    To me, there's a world of difference between blatently telling lies ie "we've got 100 staff & a huge office block" when in fact it's 1 man in a garden shed, & having, say, a smart website & posh stationery, maybe a couple of extra phone numbers/email addresses that give a good impression, an...

    What counts as VAT?

    Tesco will give you a proper VAT receipt, with a breakdown, but you have to ask for it at Customer Services which is a pain. If I buy vat-able stuff from Tesco (ink cartridges etc) I just pull the VAT out myself from the total.

    Van buying online

    Has anyone ever bought a van online? If so, what was your experience like? I'm looking to buy a new van & just wondered what these 'discount' online firms were like. Any info/comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks, Dave

    Chris Cardell

    I've read the previous posts about Chris Cardell but I would like to know if anyone has paid for his course of seminars, not had the promised increase in sales/turnover, & had their money refunded under the guarantee he offers. The latest series of emails I'm receiving promise £12k increase or...

    Extra Phone Line

    You could always buy another (cheap) mobile, give that number to your family & friends ONLY, then just have it on at night.

    Extra Phone Line

    I've used call divert in the past & as you say, you never miss a call. The only problem I found was constant unwanted calls from telesales people, calls which I was paying for....anyone got a way round this, I'd use it again if so!

    Yell.com

    In my experience, they simply don't care, once they have your money. Their only response is that "you need a bigger ad". They aren't bothered if one person doesn't renew, if NO-ONE renewed they may feel differently...
